PHPA - About Us

The Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association (PHPA) was founded in 1998. It was originally formed as a support association for graduates of the Professional Hypnotherapy Course, taught by the Hypnotic World International Academy of Hypnotherapy. As the association expanded, so did the requests for membership from other hypnotherapy training institutes.

Stephen H Armstrong DHP Acc. Hyp. (Distinction) took over the association as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the PHPA in 2005.

Steve had over 30 years experience in helping others to resolve their problems and drew upon his expertise to promote awareness of the benefits of hypnotherapy to the public as well as help to address the many issues that hypnotherapists encounter.

The Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association is currently managed by Dr D. C. Portner.
