British Society of Clinical Hypnosis
The British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) is an organization composed of professional hypnotherapists.
The main objective the BSCH is to establish standards of training and ethical practice regarding the use of hypnosis and hypnotherapy; within the United Kingdom there are (2010) currently no statutory regulations regarding hypnosis. The society was created in the early 1980s and was originally called the Association of Clinical Hypnotherapists. This name was subsequently changed to the British Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists, until finally becoming the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis in 1996.
It is a non-profit organisation. Though predominately a UK-based organisation, the society has members in several Commonwealth countries, particularly Malaysia and Singapore, but also members in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa as well as other EU countries including the Republic of Ireland, Portugal, France, Germany and Italy.
The society maintains an online database of therapists qualified to society standards and a helpline, which is open during office hours.
