The IAPH has been established for over twenty years since 1984 when it was then known as the International Association of Hypnoanalysts (IAH). The IAPH is the largest body of analytical hypnotherapists in the world. Therapists in the IAPH are bound by a very strict code of practice and ethics and abide by the rules of the association.

Fellow of the IAPH
In May 2007 Richard was awarded a Fellowship of the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts at the IAPH annual conference for services over the years both to the IAPH and to hypnotherapy in general.

Only 9 Fellowships have ever been awarded since the IAPH was established in 1984.




About the IAPH fellowship

International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts"An IAPH fellowship is the highest accolade achievable in the organisation and is reserved for therapists who in some way, shape or form have made a SIGNIFICANT contribution to both the IAPH and the profession of hypnotherapy.

In the association the title of Fellow is held in high regard - since the IAPH was established 23 years ago only 9 Fellowships have ever been awarded.

In May 2007 the IAPH Council of Management awarded Richard Parsons a fellowship for his work. As well as running a highly successful full time hypnotherapy practice in Cheltenham he has been a dynamic and popular figure in the organisation over the last few years. He served on the Council of Management from 2004-2007 and continues to this day to provide support and help for many other hypnotherapists especially those new to the profession by regularly running training seminars and workshops.

We were delighted at this year's annual conference to recognise Richard's achievements in the therapeutic field, and his fellowship is well deserved."
