British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH)

The British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) is a British professional body whose aim is to promote and assure high standards in the practice of clinical hypnotherapy. BSCH Asia is a chapter of BSCH established to recognise the growing numbers of clinical hypnotherapists in Asia.

BSCH and LCCH Clinical Hypnotherapists

The London School of Clinical Čommunication & Hypnosis and LCCH Asia are approved training institutions for clinical hypnosis. LCCH Asia students and graduates are eligible for the following categories of membership:

Diploma Students - affiliate membership
Diploma Graduates - associate membership
Practitioner Graduates - full membership

Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists

The status “registered clinical hypnotherapist” is offered to BSCH members who have attained Fellow, Full or Associate member status. Once registered, members may refer to themselves as "Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists".

Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists may request to have their names entered into a global and UK register for practicing clinical hypnotherapists.

There is a formal Code of Conduct, which all BSCH Members are required to sign. This ensures that the standards of ethics and professional practices remain of high standing within the field of clinical hypnotherapy.

Government Recognition of the BSCH

The Complementary & National Healthcare Council (CNHC) is the UK voluntary regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners established with the UK government. The CNHC's register has been approved as an Accredited Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. This means CNHC has met the Professional Standards Authority’s demanding standards.

The CNHC provides a UK voluntary register of complementary therapists. All CNHC registered practitioners are entitled to use CNHC’s quality mark, which demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and high standards.

CNHC has agreed that the BSCH may verify applications for CNHC registration. BSCH Asia chapter members who decide to live in the UK may write to the BSCH secretary and request an application form to register with the CNHC.

Malaysian Government Recognition of the MSCH

The Malaysian Government requires the professional society representing clinical hypnotherapeutic practice to the government is registered in Malaysia.

The Malaysian Society of Clinical Hypnosis (MSCH) is the original and premiere professional body established originally in 1984. It has close ties to both LCCH Asia and BSCH Asia and the code of conduct and ethical practice guidelines is consistent with that of the BSCH.

It is therefore the preferred professional society for clinical hypnotherapists for the LCCH Malaysia.
