Q: Are your courses government accredited - and does this matter?
A: Our courses were once government accredited but are no longer. Does it matter? Not at all. In Australia we are fortunate that hypnotherapy, like counselling, is a self-regulated industry where peak national bodies decide which courses and training will be industry recognised in Australia. Self-regulation means innovation in our hypnotherapy and freedom to explore hypnosis in many areas, including past life therapy. With that said, it is important that if you want to be a professional hypnotherapist you need to be recognised by peak national bodies. All our courses and training are recognised by Holistic Health Associates International (HHAI) so you can be assured of our reputation in Australia for providing quality training.
