Choosing a practitioner

How to choose a regression specialist

The right practitioner is not simply the person with the biggest claims. Look for clarity, boundaries, training, language fit and a calm explanation of what the session can and cannot do.

Questions to ask

Ask how long the session lasts, whether it is recorded, what training the practitioner has, what they do if strong emotions arise, and whether they work online. For English-speaking clients, confirm the session language directly. Do not rely on a translated website alone.

Signals of reliability

Good signs include transparent scope, no medical promises, clear fees, consent language, privacy practices and willingness to refer out when the issue is outside their competence. It is reasonable to ask for a short introductory call.

English-language options

The English directory focuses on practical comparison points: language, region, online delivery, training claims and safety boundaries. Listings are informational and do not imply affiliation with, approval by, or certification from the Michael Newton Institute.

Credentials, experience and scope

“Certified” has little meaning without the name of the training provider, course length, supervised practice and date. Ask for specifics and verify them where possible. Training in hypnosis, regression, counselling or trauma-informed communication may each cover different skills. None automatically gives a non-clinician authority to diagnose or treat a mental disorder.

Experience should also be relevant to the format you want. A practitioner may be comfortable with short past-life sessions but have limited experience with longer between-lives work, English-language sessions or remote delivery. Ask how many comparable sessions they have conducted and what happens when a client reports no imagery, becomes distressed or wants to stop.

Red flags

• Guaranteed healing, guaranteed memories or claims that every image is factual.
• Advice to stop medication, therapy or medical care.
• No screening, no consent process or refusal to explain training.
• Leading questions that supply names, abuse, causes or spiritual conclusions.
• Unclear fees, repeated upselling or pressure to book a package.
• Recording or using client stories without specific permission.

A simple decision checklist

After an introductory call, you should be able to answer yes to four questions: Do I understand the scope? Can I stop without pressure? Are data and recordings handled clearly? Would this person refer me elsewhere when the issue exceeds their competence? If any answer is unclear, keep comparing options.

A directory narrows the search; it does not replace your own verification. Availability, credentials, insurance, legal scope and language ability can change, so confirm current details directly before paying.
