About Andy
Bicester-Based Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, Oxfordshire
I’m Andrew (Andy), a qualified and insured Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist offering in-person and online hypnotherapy in Bicester, Oxfordshire. I work with adults and young people aged 16+ to support emotional wellbeing, confidence, and managing life pressures.
My approach is collaborative, calm, and forward-focused. I work using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, combining therapeutic conversation with gentle hypnotic relaxation and focused attention. Rather than spending extended time analysing problems or repeatedly revisiting the past, sessions focus on what you would like to be different and how you might move towards that in a practical and supportive way.
I aim to provide a respectful, inclusive, and non-judgemental space for people of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. Hypnotherapy is always offered following an Initial Consultation to explore suitability and ensure the approach feels appropriate.
If you’re considering hypnotherapy and would like to explore whether this approach feels right for you, you’re welcome to get in touch or visit my website for further information.

My Experience
I work with adults and young people aged 16+ seeking support with emotional wellbeing, confidence, and managing internal pressure. My experience includes supporting clients with anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, low mood, confidence challenges, performance-related concerns, and navigating significant life events and transitions.
My work is informed by Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, a gentle, future-focused and collaborative approach. Rather than spending extended time analysing problems or repeatedly revisiting the past, sessions focus on what you would like to be different and how you might move towards that in a practical, supportive way.
My work blends:
-
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
-
Clinical Hypnotherapy
-
Elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
-
Mindfulness-based awareness
Sessions combine solution-focused conversation with gentle hypnotic relaxation and focused attention, offering a calm and structured space to explore goals, notice progress, and develop more balanced emotional responses over time.
I also have particular experience and an interest in working with:
Men’s emotional and non-medical psychosexual wellbeing (over 18s)
Supporting men in a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore areas such as stress, emotional regulation, confidence, performance anxiety, intimacy concerns, and sexual confidence challenges. This work is psychological and emotional in focus and does not replace medical assessment where required.
LGBTQIA+-affirmative support
Providing inclusive, respectful, and non-judgemental hypnotherapy support around self-esteem, confidence, identity, relationships, anxiety, stress, and navigating life pressures in a way that feels safe and affirming.
Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals
Supporting individuals experiencing overthinking, decision fatigue, confidence issues, stress, and performance pressure in high-responsibility roles, using a practical, solution-focused approach to reduce overwhelm and gain clearer direction.
My work is structured yet flexible, with sessions paced to the individual and reviewed collaboratively. I support clients locally across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Northamptonshire, as well as online across the UK.
