As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I provide hypnotherapy to adults and children (young people / teenagers, aged 15+ years). 

What is my hypnotherapy approach and what tools do I use to support this change?

I use an integrated, solution focused approach, which is based on the latest evidence-based research from neuroscience and incorporates the very best elements of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with clinical hypnotherapy. 

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines a non-invasive form of ‘talking therapy' / psychotherapy (SFBT) with a gentle trance-like state (hypnosis) that puts you in control, replacing negative, anxious thoughts, allowing your mind to be open to positive changes.

This allows you to reshape your thought patterns, emotions (i.e Anxiety) and behaviours towards a desired outcome (feeling better and coping better). We focus on the solution, rather than the problem.  Whether this be personal, relationships or even your career. 

At this point you're likely feeling a bit overwhelmed and I know reaching out to a therapist can be a bit daunting, let alone reading everyone's profiles on here 🤯

Does any of this sound familiar?

• Has anxiety, worry taken control of your life? Are you constantly feeling stressed?
• Have you lost your confidence, have low self-esteem and/or lost motivation?
• Do you feel like you’re stuck in a not very helpful cycle (a funk, a rut?)
• Is fear or a phobia holding you back from living the life you want?
• Does life feel really overwhelming right now and you're just plain tired of feeling the stress?
• Are you stuck in a never ending procrastination cycle, lost your motivation, direction and drive, feeling lost either in your personal or professional life?
• Do you wish you could find a way to cope better with anxiety, worry and fear and know things shouldn't be as hard as this?
• Do you feel you are standing on the sideline of your own life right now?
• You are not the person you want to be (and know you can be), whether that's how you feel about life, or even yourself around self-image, your weight, confidence at home or at work /career.

If you're like "uh huh, uh huh.. to any of these." - the good news is, I can help you! 💪 

What is your first step to change?

I offer a FREE (no obligation) 45 Minute Hypnotherapy Discovery Session /  Initial Consultation /   (no ½ measures here!) - in-person (Upper Heyford, nr Bicester, Oxfordshire, or online.

This gives you the opportunity to be heard in a secure, non-judgemental and therapeutic space and together we can explore what you would like support with/or to work on, what you want to achieve, how I work and the process and for you to ask me any questions you like. With absolutely know obligation to continue. Therapy is very personal choice.

How many sessions do people need on average?

It's a quick therapy, usually 6-12 sessions (but can vary) and doesn't involve talking about the past. Simple phobias are usually around 4 sessions. 

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy harnesses the principles of neuroplasticity to facilitate positive neural pathway changes, allowing you to reshape your thought patterns, emotions and behaviours towards a desired outcome (feeling better and coping better).  

It's perfectly normal to feel a bit apprehensive when reaching out to a therapist for more information. Taking this step is a powerful choice, and I want you to know that it's absolutely okay to feel that way. I’m here to provide support and guidance every step of the way and to make you feel totally at ease. 🤗

I have a cosy and comfortable therapy room in Upper Heyford, nr Bicester, Oxfordshire, OX25 (with easy, off-street parking), and therefore easy driving distance from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, but I also work online nationally. 

I look forward to connecting with you soon! 

All the best!

Andy :)
