I am honoured to be a Trainer Member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH).

This membership confirms my professional standing as a trainer in the field of hypnotherapy and connects me with one of the most established and respected organisations in the world.


What Is the American Board of Hypnotherapy?

The American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH), founded in 1982 by Dr. A. M. Krasner (originally known as the California Board of Hypnotherapy), has since become a global authority in the profession of hypnotherapy. Today, it is recognised as one of the largest and most influential organisations of its kind worldwide.

ABH is dedicated to:

  • Promoting hypnotherapy as a distinct and respected profession
  • Maintaining strong ethical and professional standards for all members

  • Providing credibility and visibility for its members through directories, digital certificates, and public education

With over 1,000 approved institutes at the Trainer level and tens of thousands of certified members globally, ABH is widely considered one of the most prestigious professional boards in the field.

  • High professional standards – setting consistent benchmarks in training, certification, and ethical practice
