I think a lot of these are just membership of..........

not necessarily qualifications themselves.

micht is member of international council of holistic therapists. You join this as a member before getting insured by FHT. Don't know the other ones.

the first 3 are all membership initials for Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). You obtain these when you complete VTCT qualifications and then join the FHT.

AICHT is an Associate of the International Council of Holistic Therapists - also connected with FHT, although not a full member and not obliged to do CPD, I understand.

Have a look at http://www.mindtec.co.uk/hyp-art/members.html.

They seem to have most professional bodies on there. (Actually almost all to do with hypnosis, but the ICHT is definitely there)
