Why - Why consult a doctor for Hypnotherapy?

Sadly, the world of hypnotherapy is totally unregulated. Anyone can learn the rudiments of hypnosis and set themselves up as a therapist.

There are many schools of hypnosis; some are good and some are not.
Most therapists maintain high standards of conduct; some do not.
Some will have the relevant previous education; most will not.
Who can you trust? It can seem like a minefield out there!

Most people know the feeling of security and trust that is part of the Doctor - Patient relationship. It is based on well established professional boundaries and built-in safety that goes with the territory.

It is important to know with certainty that before a doctor learns how to use hypnosis he has a formidable basis of knowledge of illness, both physical and psychological, which underpins his therapy.
