Code of Ethics

Client wellbeing

I will do my utmost to make sure the client's welfare and physical and mental wellbeing is my primary consideration.

Safety in practice

I will uphold the safety of myself and the client. I will not engage in verbal, physical or sexual abuse of any client, nor will I discriminate against any client on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. If I am informed that a vulnerable child or adult is in danger, I have the responsibility of informing the correct body of authority — for example, the safeguarding team.

Professional Standards & Best Practice

I will uphold the ethical frameworks, professional standards, and values of the NCH, GHR, CNHC, and NGH.

To support safe, ethical, and effective practice, I:

• Engage in regular professional supervision
• Maintain strict client confidentiality
• Commit to ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
• Reflect on my practice to support both client wellbeing and professional growth
• Take any concerns or issues arising within sessions to supervision where appropriate, always in the best interests of the client and my continued development
• Ensure that no personal or identifiable client details are shared within supervision or group supervision settings unless explicit consent has been obtained or there is a legal or safeguarding requirement to do so.

Working within my limits

I will not go beyond my training and skill capability. As and when required, I will recommend to a client the benefits of another practitioner with an alternative skill set, experience or qualification.

Honest advertising

I will be truthful in everything I advertise regarding my own practice.

Ongoing training

My training took place in London, where I was trained to an industry-leading standard by HypnoTC. I will continue on my path of learning and development as I strive to do my best for my clients and their needs.

Not medically trained

I am not a medical professional, so I will not diagnose, treat or prescribe for medical issues or conditions. With the agreement of the client, I may contact their GP so they are aware that I am working with their patient.

Stopping a session

I will stop a session if the intake form provided is not correct, or if false information has been given. I will also stop a session if a client becomes verbally or physically abusive, and I will not start a session if I believe I am not the right hypnotherapy practitioner for that client.

Respect for colleagues

Under no circumstances will I discredit any of my fellow hypnotherapy associates.
