This is a hugely exciting time in the history of hypnosis in Australia. Over the past few years its reputation has grown enormously, to the point where it's highly likely someone you know has had Hypnotherapy - perhaps to stop smoking, or to lose weight, or to get rid of a phobia or fear. The Academy of Hypnotic Science, founded in 1980, has always played a leading role in the development of our profession in this country. Over the years more government-accredited Hypnotherapists have graduated from the Academy than through anywhere else in Australia. Today, we are the biggest Hypnotherapy training delivery organisation in the country.
