Why a Registered Hypnotherapist

"To have complete confidence in your Therapist and the therapy you receive, it is important to make sure your Therapist is NZHRB Inc. qualified and has relevant tertiary qualifications. This demonstrates clinical competency and ensures that your Therapist is suitably qualified having being examined by the NZHRB Board, and trained to deal with complex issues"
