UKCHO Executive Committee

Georgina McKinnon Chair

My motivation at UKCHO is to see the Hypnotherapy Profession grow in stature as it is given the recognition it deserves. I hope I have brought some of my previous experience to the organisation. Prior to becoming a hypnotherapist, I ran my own busy antiques and design business working closely both locally and internationally with customers and colleagues. I championed many initiatives during that time. I was involved in mentoring and education. I represented the interests of thousands of antique dealers during the then longest running select committee ever held in the House of Commons.

I have always had an interest in people and the things that drive them, since training as a hypnotherapist I have never looked back and love my work. I work full time from two practices and online. I particularly enjoy working with hypnoanalysis. Nine years ago, I opened my training school at Mid Kent College and set up online training for qualified therapists via TranceFormers Training.

Very recently I have taken over the Professional Association The APHP & Professional Register, The NRPC. The APHP was established 22 years ago by Terence Watts.
