What is an HCA Accredited Hypnotherapist?
To list on this HCA National Register, Hypnotherapists must belong to a recognised HCA member professional hypnotherapy association.
To gain that association membership, the Hypnotherapist must have verifiable qualifications and training equal to or beyond the HCA and the association’s standards, and they must continue to meet all required standards for ethical practice, supervision and ongoing professional development.
The qualified hypnotherapists listed on the HCA National Register are recognised as HCA Registered Hypnotherapists. They can be easily identified by their use of the initials “HCARH” and HCA Registered Hypnotherapists logo, differentiating them from those practitioners who work outside of this professional recognition.
The HCA National Register of Australian Hypnotherapists provides a clear and easily accessible reference base, allowing you to more easily find suitably qualified, caring and ethical hypnotherapists at locations across Australia.
