Your Path To Becoming A Professional Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapist certification is an important step in becoming a professional hypnotherapist, and you'll want to get certified by one or more organizations that are recognized both locally and world wide. This type of certification is important to your success.

In fact, many hypnotherapists get multiple certifications, both for the added prestige, and to help their clients feel comfortable with their credentials. Hypnotherapy certification with the IHA is recognized internationally, and we have members all over the world. When you join the IHA, you join a global community.

Is IHA hypnotherapy certification accepted in my location?

Hypnotherapy & NLP credentials recognized around the world.

Some locations may require you to be licensed in order to practice hypnotherapy, other locations may not be regulated at all. In fact, make sure you understand that hypnotherapy certification and a legal license to practice hypnotherapy in your area are two very different things.

The IHA is a membership, certification and credentialing organization, NOT a governing body.

If you need information about the law regarding practicing hypnotherapy in your location, we strongly suggest searching online for that information.

Global Hypnotherapy Regulations

Let's face it - hypnotherapy is a wildly unregulated profession around the world. Even within individual countries, there may be different laws and regulations depending on region or state (i.e. each state in the United States has different regulations and laws governing the practice of hypnotherapy).

However, hypnotherapy certification is not about the law in your location.

It is about credentials. It is about proving who you are, and what you know.

It is about trust, and prestige, and confidence.

IHA Credentials Are Recognized Around The World

When you get your hypnotherapy certification with the IHA, you are telling people that you can be trusted.

We offer credentials that ensure that know what you are doing, that you have received ample education in hypnotherapy, and that you have agreed to abide by a certain Code of Ethics when practicing hypnotherapy.

IHA Membership & Ethics

Being a member of the IHA, which is required for certification, means you have agreed to abide by our Code of Ethics.

That is an important element to helping your clients trust you. Your future clients may find you by searching this website, or they may search this website to find out what your certification means to THEM. When they do, they will see that not only does your membership mean you are a Certified Hypnotherapist (or NLP Practitioner, or both), but that you have agreed to abide by a Code of Ethics that keeps your clients safe, and helps them feel confident.

Hypnotherapy Certification That Inspires Confidence

You didn't JUST take a class and get a certificate from an instructor that says you "completed a class".

When you become a Certified Hypnotherapist with the IHA, you have your education reviewed by a third party (us), and have met our standards. There is prestige and reassurance in that for your clients.

For individuals who have completed a qualifying course of instruction in hypnosis or hypnotherapy, hypnotherapist certification with a credentialing body like the IHA just makes practical sense. No matter where you are, it helps your future clients KNOW that you know what you're doing.
