About the ASCH
In 2024, the ASCH celebrated over 50 years as a foremost professional association for hypnotherapists.
The Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists (ASCH) is a dynamic, progressive association at the cutting edge of new developments in hypnotherapy. We pride ourselves in representing the best hypnotherapists who meet our high professional standards. The ASCH offers its members a strong sense of community and opportunities to change, grow and succeed.
Our History
The ASCH was founded and incorporated in 1974 by a dedicated group of clinical hypnotherapists and is one of the largest associations in Australia for health and mental health professionals who use clinical hypnosis.
Who we are
Among our members are hypnotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, mental health counsellors, medical doctors, registered nurses and midwives, dentists, and chiropractors specialising in hypnosis.
This diverse range of membership allows for cross-fertilisation of ideas and applications that blend neatly with current trends, such as mind-body health and integrative medicine.
The ASCH encourages its members to participate in conferences, workshops and other specialist training—all designed to foster ongoing professional development.
If you are a qualified hypnotherapist, or a hypnotherapy student, or you wish to be an affiliate of the ASCH, why not join and enjoy the benefits?
