Professional Training in applying Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapy
Professional Training in applying Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapy
The Institute was established in Ireland in 1990 by Dr Joseph E. Keaney, a world renowned professional Clinical Hypnotherapist and member in good standing in many professional hypnotherapy/ psychotherapy associations in the UK, US and Europe.
There are currently many hundred graduate Hypnotherapists, trained by Dr Keaney, practicing throughout the world.
Dr Keaney has licensed Hypnotherapy Institutes in the UK, Sweden, Germany and Australia to teach his Foundation Certificate (ICHP Aust Entrance Diploma), Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses which are based on the first, second and third years of the Degree taught in Europe.
ICHP Graduates become registered and accredited Member Hypnotherapists of both ICHP(Ireland), the headquarters organization, and of their local ICHP, for example ICHP(Australia).
To practice ethically and professionally our graduates are encouraged to join an Australian Hypnotherapy Association, engage in ongoing education and supervision each year and also hold current First Aid and Professional Indemnity Insurance documentation.
We recommend our students take a look through some of the major Australian Hypnotherapy Associations websites; AHA, GoAH, ASCH, AACHP, etc so that an informed choice can be made.
