 Welcome
WARNING
PLEASE READ FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
This page is provided free of charge to all persons looking for
assistance. Please use it to ensure you take proper care when choosing
any therapist.
There are plenty of providers of therapy, life coaching and personal
development out there. Of course we would like you to choose us, we
have a business to run!
We
do however have another reason for this page.
If you choose a poor quality therapist, then the danger is you will
come away feeling that complementary health therapists and life coaches
are no good. This reflects on all of us, good and bad. Therefore please
let us help you with the following check list. Hopefully this will
allow you to choose a good quality provider and come away able to
recommend therapists and complementary health.
Safety
Check List: Expect NO LESS than the following:
Please
feel free to print and refer to this page
1. Does
the therapist
adhere to the National Occupational Standards for therapies offered?
These represent nationally set standards for practice and safety.
Without these you have no way of knowing what standards if any your
potential therapist adheres to!
Naturally we adhere to appropriate NOS National Occupational Standards
in ALL
therapies offered. These include general therapy NOS where no specific
NOS apply.
2. Is
the therapist
qualified with an award recognised by anyone?
Unfortunately some therapists have awards with NO REAL RECOGNITION!
Look for real qualifications that mean something! For example
degrees from real universities, NVQ's, SNVQ's and awards from SQA and
QCA (Qualification Curriculum Authority - England, Scottish
Qualification Authority - Scotland) approved awarding bodies, for
example City and Guilds, VCTC, and ASET. These should be to a minimum
professional level of level 3. Level 3 represents supervised
competence. Awards may alternatively be approved by major professional
bodies such as NACHP, CMTHA, UKCP, ISPC, NCP etc. Hypnotherapists
should be CNHC registered, since this is the UK recognised voluntary
regulation scheme.
Naturally we have awards from recognised sources such as degrees, NVQ
and ASET. These range from level 3 to creation of level 5.
3. Is
the therapist
professionally insured and registered?
The therapist
should be registered and insured so that they are subject to
appropriate standards of behaviour, performance and ethics as well as
being insured against accidents and poor practice. This is for your
protection!
Of course we are fully registered and insured with a number of
professional organisations. These include the Society for Holistic
Therapists and Coaches, CTHA, IPP, and in the case of our senior
therapist,
the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health and the Institute of
Health Promotion and Education. Stuart is a CHNC registered
hypnotherapist.
4. Is
the therapist
"just qualified"? In other
words have they managed to get
a qualification but have no real experience? Some such therapists are
of course very competent, but always ask about depth of qualification
and experience. Do not accept amateurs!
Naturally we have many years of experience, indeed we were established
in 1993. Our senior therapist has been assessed in actual practice in
order to attain an NVQ Level 4 Training and Development Award in the
industrial area of complementary health education and stress management
education. Both practitioners have backgrounds in relevent
industries: Stuart in Social and Youth work, and Denise in Childcare.
Stuart has a UK degree in a related subject prior to specific
training, and additional international degree recognition in related
subjects (in real international standards, not degree
mills!). Denise has real nationally recognised experience and
qualifications in Social Care prior to training as a therapist.
Bother therapists have a full range of therapies that they
have trained in to accredited standards.
5.
Is the therapist
supervised / supported?
According to the National
Occupational Standards therapists should have access to appropriate
supervision and support.
Yes of course we have access to professional and personal support
including peer supervision.
6. The
therapist should
have a commitment to ongoing professional development and training.
Therapists should keep their skills and knowledge base up to
date. The NOS National Occupational Standards and indeed
common sense indicate that therapists should stay up to date and
current with additional training.
Naturally we stay up to date with ongoing properly accredited training
programmes. At present (2011) we both have multiple
accredited professional courses and awards underway. We support the
coming voluntary regulation of psychotherapy and
counselling. Stuart is a CNHC registered hypnotherapist (voluntary
regulation of hypnotherapy).
