The Structure of Hypnotherapy in New Zealand
Because Hypnotherapy is such a safe and natural procedure, it has been left alone to be pretty much self governing and independent of any specific government control and legislation. There are no specific to Hypnotherapy legal requirements, restrictions, or qualifications required by anyone practicing Hypnotherapy in New Zealand. 

Furthermore, because Hypnotherapy is so safe and natural, anyone can legally practice in NZ as a Hypnotherapist!  Every Hypnotherapist in NZ is completely free to practice either independently, or, if they choose, as part of a one of the many groups, associations, or societies.

Regardless of their training, qualifications, or experience, every Hypnotherapy practitioner is legally and morally expected to operate under guidelines defined by such departments as Occupational Safety & Health (OSH), the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), the Health & Disability Commissioner (HDC) and the Fair Trading Act (FTA).  Also, most Hypnotherapy groups and trainers have strict Codes of Ethics that must be adhered to by all members.

To follow, is a textual and graphical representation of the structure of mainstream Hypnotherapy within New Zealand:

  • At the top of the hierarchy is The New Zealand Hypnotherapy Federation (NZHF) which is made up of representatives from the 3 major Hypnotherapy Associations and 4 major Hypnotherapy Trainers. (As following)
    NZHF Member Associations:
  • The New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists
  • The International Hypnotherapy Practitioners Society
  • The Psychoanalysis Hypnotherapy Institute of New Zealand

  • NZHF Member Trainers:
  • Hypnosis New Zealand
  • Alpha Hypnosis
  • New Zealand School of Professional Hypnotherapy
  • Hypnotherapy Training College of New Zealand
  • Near the top of the structure, there is also the New Zealand Hypnotherapists Registration Board (NZHRB) which has member Hypnotherapists from the Associations. (These members are Registered Hypnotherapists.)
  • The 4 trainers each teach new Hypnotherapists and award their own certification or diploma to each passing student. These qualified Hypnotherapists may then join one or more of the Hypnotherapy Associations, so they can be a part of the mainstream of the profession (and therefore advance their learning by attending training meetings, peer groups, mentoring and conferences)
  • On becoming a senior, experienced, member of one of the 3 Hypnotherapy Associations, a Hypnotherapist may then apply to become "Registered" with the New Zealand Hypnotherapists Registration Board. (The NZHRB is currently investigating the possibility of having their own independent registration requirements.)


Hypnotherapy Qualifications in New Zealand
NB. There are no official legal qualification requirements specific to Hypnotherapy in New Zealand!  Hypnotherapy is a natural therapy that anyone who is skilled in, can practice. 

Most Hypnotherapy trainers (certainly the 3 member trainers of the NZHF) provide their own qualifications.  There is a wide range of course content and price of trainers throughout the Hypnotherapy profession - and all newcomers are urged to compare for themselves, these variables, before settling on a trainer suitable to their requirements. It is also suggested that you contact your choice of trainer by email, or by telephone to discuss the courses they offer.

On-Going Training
To assist with on-going training, most of the Hypnotherapy Associations hold training workshops and yearly conferences - and the NZ Hypnotherapy Federation holds the yearly National Hypnotherapy Conference weekend - usually featuring major local and overseas presenters and trainers. 

NB. There is NO NZQA qualification for Hypnotherapy! 
In fact, all the previous and proposed unit standards were marked for expiry at the end of 2008 - see NZQA website here!
Like most other natural therapies, the NZQA has deemed that the Hypnotherapy profession is responsible for deciding its own structure (as it always has been)! 

Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural procedure, that apparently has no need of specific controlling legislation by the government.
