Professional Hypnotherapy
Practitioner Association
Successful completion of the Course
and examination gives you two years FREE membership to the Professional
Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association (PHPA).
The aim of the PHPA is to encourage professionals who have a common interest in
hypnotherapy to share skills and knowledge through newsletters, discussion
forums and regular workshops, and to offer a referral system for clients seeking
information and hypnotherapy.
Associated membership of the PHPA is available after two years when members have
the opportunity to offer paid personal tuition to our students of hypnotherapy.
Once qualified you can set up your own private practice. A section of the Course
covers all you need to know about how to do this successfully. You will also
receive ongoing support after qualifying, as and when you need it.
Membership to the PHPA is also available to
Hypnotherapists who have not trained with the Hypnotic World International
Academy of Hypnotherapy but who can satisfy the membership requirements.
Members will be eligible to advertise their details, at no extra charge, on the
World Wide referrals page of Hypnotic World as well as the PHPA's official site,
www.phpa-online.org .
