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 currently no statutory regulations regarding hypnosis. The society was created in the early 1980's and was originally called the Association of Professional 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.
