In this episode Nick and Tracey open the lid on what is is that the National Council for Hypnotherapy does as a not-for-profit association trying to maintain standards and professionalism within the industry, as well as Tracey's collaboration and contributions to this year's UK Hypnosis Convention.

Tracey also discusses the user friendliness of being in an ethical Professional organisation that has your back and understands the trials of being a Hypnotherapist in full time practice in the UK.

Tracey became Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) in 2016, a role she feels passionate about; setting and upholding standards in the Hypnotherapy profession. She also trains and assesses students of hypnotherapy to the Diploma standard of the National Council of Further Education (NCFE).

A full time hypnotherapist trained in counselling, hypnosis, hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) Tracey has been in practice for the last decade. Originally with locations throughout London including Harley Street she has now settled in practice, south of the river, in Balham.
