GHR: What My Advanced Practitioner Status with the GHR Means for You

November 04, 20242 min read

When choosing a hypnotherapist, credentials can make all the difference. I am proud to be a registered Advanced Practitioner with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), a status awarded on the basis of merit, experience, and a commitment to high standards of practice. Unlike some advanced courses, this designation is not something that can simply be purchased. Here’s why this distinction matters when selecting a hypnotherapist you can trust.

What Does Advanced Practitioner Status with the GHR Mean?
The GHR is one of the UK’s largest professional organizations for hypnotherapy, representing practitioners who meet rigorous criteria. Being recognized as an Advanced Practitioner signifies that I have not only met the GHR’s basic standards but have also demonstrated an exceptional level of experience and competence in the field.

The Difference Between Advanced Status by Merit and a Purchased Course
Many hypnotherapy programs offer “advanced” certificates after completing specific courses, but these are not always based on professional experience or demonstrated skill. My GHR Advanced Practitioner status is a testament to my years of hands-on experience and the quality of my client care. It represents a solid foundation in effective hypnotherapy, earned—not bought.

Why This Matters for You as a Client
When you choose a hypnotherapist with Advanced Practitioner status from the GHR, you’re selecting someone with proven expertise. This means:

  1. A Depth of Experience – I have handled diverse cases and refined my skills through real-world practice.

  2. A Commitment to Ethical Standards – GHR-registered practitioners adhere to strict ethical codes, ensuring safe, confidential, and respectful therapy.

  3. A Focus on Your Well-being – My experience allows me to tailor sessions uniquely to your needs, providing more effective and personalised support.
