<p>Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists are not statutorily regulated, and there are
no current plans to introduce statutory regulation for either profession. The Professional
Standards Authority for health and social care operates an accredited voluntary registers
programme, providing a proportionate means of assurance for unregulated professions,
by setting standards for organisations holding voluntary registers. There are currently
two accredited registers related to hypnotherapy, and twelve accredited registers
related to psychotherapy.</p><p>The Government keeps the professions subject to statutory
regulation under review, and in 2022, published the consultation Healthcare regulation:
deciding when statutory regulation is appropriate, which sought views on the criteria
used to decide when regulation is necessary, and whether there are any unregulated
professions that should be brought into statutory regulation. The Government will
publish its response to the consultation in due course.</p>
