Hypnosis in the news again with Lily Allen

There is a new piece at the Times Online web site today talking about the use of hypnotherapy by celebrities to lose weight (including Lily Allen pictured left).

It seems to be a fairly balanced piece of writing although many therapists will charge a good deal less than £95 per hour quoted in the article.

It's worth a read and you can find it by clicking here.

There is one problem that is very clear though; there is a huge number of Hypnotherapy groupings and it does cause the general public a deal of confusion. In fact the one quoted in the article UK Confederation Of Hypnotherapy Organisations (www.ukcho.co.uk) does not represent all the professional groupings in the UK.

This mass of organisations is a problem for everyone and stems in part from the fact that each teaching organisation tends to set up a new federation or society!
