WHCPG Aims and Objectives

Welcome to the website of the Welwyn Hatfield Complementary Practitioners Group. We are a group of complementary therapists practising in Welwyn Hatfield and surrounding areas.

The aims of our website are:

  • to give members of the public access to a wide and growing range of therapists practising in their area. If you are looking for a therapist, or want to find out more about a particular therapy first, click on ‘Find a therapist’ and use the search facility to find details of practitioners and the therapies they practise. We understand completely that finding a therapist to suit you is a very personal choice, which may not be possible by just searching a website. If you need more individual advice, please do contact one of our committee members (click on ‘Committee Members’ for details) who will be glad to help you.

 

  • to encourage qualified therapists and student practitioners to become members of our group. Qualified therapists can apply to become full members and be listed in both our Register of Practitioners and on the website, have access to the members’ area of the website and have free entry to our monthly meetings and have the option, for a small additional cost, of having your own enhanced listing (your own web page). Student practitioners can join as associate members, which entitles them to access to the Members’ Area and free entry to our monthly meetings. Once you are qualified you can apply to upgrade to full membership. For further details on membership, click on ‘Join Us'.

 

  • to raise awareness of complementary health options and their benefits, by encouraging both therapists and members of the public to come to our monthly meetings, which take place at 7.30pm on the second Wednesday of every month at St Bonaventure’s Church Hall, 83 Parkway, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6JF. We have talks and demonstrations on a wide variety of health related topics. Entry for visitors is £3. For details of future meetings, keep checking our 'Events' section.

 

You can find our Code of Ethics on the site. You will see that we regard the care and safety of our clients as a top priority.

If you would like to know more about the Group or have any comments on any of the therapies you have tried then please contact one of the Committee Members.

Wishing you Good Health
