Local hypnotherapist meets new national standards
A Nailsea and Clevedon based hypnotherapist has become one of the first in the country to achieve a new national standard of excellence for her therapy.
Penny Ling has been registered by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the UK regulator for complementary healthcare.
The recognition places her at the forefront of a national drive to provide a benchmark for standards and safety for the public. Practitioners registered with the CNHC meet national occupational standards and abide by a rigorous code of conduct, performance and ethics.
Penny said: “Achieving registration is not only great news for me and my clients, but a vital step for hypnotherapy.”
“This is the time of year when many people are struggling to keep up their new year resolutions. The most popular uses for hypnotherapy are around stress and anxiety conditions, weight control and addictive behaviours such as smoking and alcohol abuse, and my speciality - Phobias.”
Hypnotherapy is one of 11 disciplines now recognised by the CNHC. Members of the public can search the CNHC register to find practitioners in their local area. More than 40,000 searches were carried out last year.
By providing a verification of standards, the CNHC allows GPs, hospitals, private healthcare providers and insurance companies to refer patients to hypnotherapy practitioners or to make hypnotherapy more readily available in health centres, clinics, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals.

New Hypnotherapy Association
New Hypnotherapy Association Promotes the Benefits of Focusing on Solutions
Local Hypnotherapist Penny Ling is the latest therapist to join the AfSFH, a new association aimed at promoting the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.
The AfSFH has been set up to make the public aware of this highly effective form of therapy and is attracting qualified Hypnotherapists who specialise in the Solution Focused approach.
There is no doubt that that illnesses caused or made worse by stress are on the increase.* Conditions such as anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), agoraphobia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and migraines are all ways that excess or sustained stress can affect our well-being.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) tackles these conditions by reducing anxiety and helping clients to regain a sense of perspective; once anxiety is under control many troublesome symptoms are alleviated. The therapy encourages positive thinking by helping clients to focus on solutions to problems, rather than dwelling on the problems themselves. Clients usually find their sleep patterns improve and motivation, confidence and self-esteem are all restored.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH) has been established to promote the benefits of the Solution Focused approach to improving mental well-being so the public are more aware of this valuable resource. It also provides Hypnotherapists who specialise in the Solution Focused psychotherapy model with a forum for maintaining professional standards.
The Association is the brainchild of David Newton, founder and senior lecturer at the nationally recognised Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training Centre in Bristol. He explains: “Stress is a part of normal everyday life: dealing with household accounts and paperwork, traffic hold-ups, pressures at work, strains in our close relationships, health worries — if the stress is sustained or excessive it can lead to a vast array of emotional, behavioural or even physical illnesses.
SFH differs from earlier forms of therapy by encouraging clients to formulate a positive image of their problem-free future rather than analysing the cause or symptoms of the problem itself. It is a highly effective and liberating approach. The new Association will provide a valuable resource for both the public and for practising Solution Focused Hypnotherapists.”
Local Hypnotherapist Penny Ling is enthusiastic about joining the AfSFH. “I welcome the opportunity to be part of this new association. I have seen the tremendous benefits of focusing on solutions and encouraging positive thinking – clients find the approach amazingly uplifting”.
Penny Ling is a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist practising at the Oakspring Clinic Clevedon, and Birdwell Clinic Long Ashton. Call 11275 854354 to book a free initial consultation. To find out more about the new association, visit www.afsfh.com
