In view of the intense amount of international interest in Energy Psychology, the Institute for Meridian Psychotherapy has been launched in order, as it develops, to provide the public with a register of well qualified practitioners and to provide a forum for those Meridian Psychotherapy practitioners who have been trained to integrate the various techniques of meridian energy treatments into a coherent, integral psychotherapy.

At present the Institute is privately sponsored and funded, however, as this practitioner's register grows, it is intended to develop the Institute into a completely stand-alone body run by its members.

Details of how a suitably qualified person may be entered onto the register may be found on the Institute's website: http://www.meridianpsychotherapy.co.uk .
