# British Society of Clinical Hypnosis

The British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) is a national professional body dedicated to maintaining rigorous standards in hypnotherapy practice across the UK. Based in Bridlington, the organisation serves the public by providing access to properly trained, ethically-practising hypnotherapists through their regulated register.

Rather than providing direct therapy themselves, BSCH functions as a quality assurance and regulatory body. They verify that member hypnotherapists meet demanding training standards, adhere to a strict code of conduct, and maintain professional competence. This allows patients to select therapists with genuine confidence, knowing they've been vetted by an established professional organisation.

The society specialises in connecting clients with hypnotherapists trained in evidence-based modern techniques for addressing trauma, phobias, anxiety, low self-esteem, underachievement and addictive behaviours. They recognise that the unconscious mind, whilst seeking wellbeing, can become conditioned by faulty learning patterns that manifest as psychological difficulties. Hypnotherapy, administered by BSCH-registered practitioners, facilitates holistic relearning to decondition these established patterns.

BSCH distinguishes itself through their partnership with CNHC (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council), the UK's government-supported voluntary regulator. This dual verification—both BSCH and CNHC—provides exceptional public protection. Additionally, BSCH maintains exemplary data protection practices, fully complying with GDPR, with no marketing lists or cookie tracking.
