Practitioner Membership FAQ's

​

Is CTAA valid in my country?

Yes. CTAA is an internationally recognised accreditation body with members across the UK, Ireland, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, South Africa, and many other regions. Because every country has its own legal frameworks, we always encourage members to check local licensing requirements as these can be additional to your accreditation.

However, CTAA accreditation is widely accepted by clients, employers, and insurers.

​

Do I get insurance included with membership?
Insurance isn’t bundled into your membership fee. Instead, as a CTAA Practitioner you’ll gain access to recommended practitioner insurance through our trusted partners worldwide (subject to location)

​

What types of therapies are covered by insurance?
Our insurance partners & recommendations cover a wide variety of modalities, including Hypnotherapy, Regression, NLP, Counselling, Coaching, Nutrition, Reflexology, Reiki, Energy Healing, EFT, and more.

Coverage depends on your country of residence, and we’ll guide you to the right provider for your needs once you join us.
