Self-Regulation

Hypnotherapists in Aotearoa New Zealand can align themselves with the New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists, Inc. (NZAPH).

This self-regulation procedure was adopted by Hypnotherapists to ensure the safety and wellbeing of clients while remaining sensitive to their needs, embodying the core values of fairness and collaboration as instructed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

NZAPH stands as a professional group recognised as an Incorporated Society.

We have chosen not to be state regulated under the Health Practitioners Competency Assurance Act (HPCA Act). The Ministry of Health Manatū Hauora Allied Health have acknowledged clinical hypnotherapy as a self regulated by a professional body.

Dear Friends,

We at the New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (NZAPH) send our heartfelt condolences to those affected by the recent floods in New Zealand. We know that many people have lost their homes, their livelihoods, and even loved ones. We want to express our support and send much Aroha to those in distress at this time.

We understand that such a traumatic event can leave a lasting impact on individuals and communities. That's why we are committed to offering our assistance in any way we can. As a first step, we have put together a free resource which is a FREE Hypnotherapy First Aid Toolbox. This resource includes information and downloads to help deal with anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and grief.

We know that hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool in helping people cope with the emotional impact of such traumatic events. Our hope is that this resource will provide some support and comfort to those who need it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the floods. We stand with you in this difficult time and offer our support in any way we can.

World Hypnosis day listen to our panel of NZAPH experts sharing how they became hypnotherapists

The New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists have been instrumental in promoting hypnotherapy and supporting hypnotherapists. Hypnotherapy has the potential to be the first protocol for people facing challenges in their lives. It is a practice that deserves recognition for its effectiveness and benefits.

World Hypnosis Day

Hypnotherapy is a powerful yet often misunderstood practice. It was established on the 4th of January 2006 in honor of Dr. Jake Gibson, an Irish surgeon and hypnotist who promoted the need for hypnosis in hospitals. The purpose of World Hypnotism Day is to spread awareness and knowledge about hypnosis and dispel the myths surrounding it. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all go in and out of. It can be used to address various challenges in mind, body, and spirit. Hypnotherapy has been used in surgeries as an alternative to anesthesia. It is a quick and effective method that can bring about positive changes in people's lives.

Some of the objectives of the NZAPH include

increasing public awareness and mainstream acceptance of hypnosis as an effective health tool;
supplying continuing education for members;
sharing ideas and techniques;
encouraging high standards of professional conduct and ethics;
assisting members in the marketing of their business; and
lobbying against legislation that would place unjustified restrictions on the practice of hypnotherapy by qualified individuals.
We also have a members only area where we can share information and keep up to date with what is going on.
