 Local hypnotherapist meets new national standards

A Tamworth based hypnotherapist has become one of the first in the

 country to achieve a new national standard of excellence for his

therapy.

 Richard Pearshouse  of ‘New Horizons Hypnotherapy’ has been

registered by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the UK

regulator for complementary healthcare.

 The recognition places him at the forefront of a national drive to provide

a benchmark for standards and safety for the public. Practitioners registered

with the CNHC meet national occupational standards and abide by a rigorous

code of conduct, performance and ethics.

Richard   said:    “Achieving this recognition is not only great news for

me and my clients, but a vital step for hypnotherapy. 

This is the time of year when many people are struggling to keep up

their new year resolutions. The most popular uses for hypnotherapy

are around stress and anxiety conditions, weight control and

addictive behaviours such as smoking and alcohol abuse.”

 By providing a verification of standards, the CNHC allows GPs, hospitals, private

healthcare providers and insurance companies to refer patients to hypnotherapy

practitioners or to make hypnotherapy more readily available in health centres,

clinics, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals.
