Public Notice

“NZAPH membership is not the same as statutory registration. Hypnotherapists are not registered under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance (HPCA) Act. NZAPH membership indicates that the practitioner has committed to training, supervision, continuing education and ethical practice, but does not equate to government licensing.”

 

Only eligible NZAPH members who have opted to appear in this public directory are listed below.

Some of these practitioners offer online hypnotherapy sessions, allowing you to access professional support no matter where you are located in New Zealand, or the world.
