Why should you be an accredited therapsit?

 

IPHM Membership Includes:

Lots of various holistic therapies are now widespread however many are not recognised nor accredited, but that does not mean these therapies are not genuine. As many therapists are self taught its more beneficial than ever to register with an accreditation board that will offer you some support and is basically an umbrella for holistic and alterantive therapists. 

Your clients will also feel more confident in choosing a therapist whom they feel belongs to an accreditation board that recognises them as a professional and will help them to choose a good reputable therapsit. 

 

Abiding by a Code of Ethics

 

If you are genunine practitioner then you will of course have your own code of ethics and act responsibily when treating your clients, however sadly this is not always the case and can leave some people whom have gone to an alternative practitoner making wild and unsubstational claims which is both unfair on the client and other genuine health professionals whom take their role seriously and are not just out to make a quick dollar. 

 

What are code of Ethics?

The code of ethics basically describes the basic and ethical principles that all genuine complementary health practitioners agree to commit themselves to. This in turn offers a join commitment to excellence and offers the clients the security of being able to open a complaints procedure. 

All well and good but is it not expensive to become a board certified and regulated practitioner?

This can vary depending on what you are a therapist in, where you live, and what you offer. It is true that some accreditation boards charge a small fortune and the therapist does not seem to get much in return.

So why is the iphm any different?
