About Me
I am Andrew I was born in Belfast in 1980. I grew up between Hillsborough and Lisburn. I now live in Bangor with my wife and Daughter. I would describe myself as approachable, friendly and charismatic and I do like to talk a lot.
In my teenage years I played rugby, Hockey, golf and Surfed I also ice skated for a while until injury stopped me (don’t ask it was a phase!) I am keen musician and play guitar and drums I also played in a few bands growing up.
In a professional capacity, I have worked in sales management for over 17 years for some of the worlds biggest and best known fashion brands and have extensive experience of the corporate world. When I”m not working I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my family and friends.
I have always been involved in mindfulness and NLP in some way since my early twenties (I am now 40 ish…) I became obsessed with hypnosis and hypnotherapy about six years ago and decided to start my training with Ali Campbell. I subsequently have gone on to train with Karl Smith of the UK Hypnosis academy, Mike Mandel, Freddy Jacquin and Jason Linett. I am an active member of the Irish Hypnotherapy conference where we regularly hold monthly and weekly CPD trainings with world leading authorities on hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
Increasly in recent years I have seen a huge uplift in the need for my type of work. Having the opportunity to help people with hypnosis near me or across the globe is truly very rewarding.

How I Help PEople
NLP
Is the study of subjective experience – we all filter everything in our dominant representational system through our five senses. Every one of us interprets information by deletion, distortion and generalisation which can often cause confusion, misunderstanding or anxiety.
Through my use of contemporary techniques, I can help create clarity of communication and interpretation to increase happiness and success effortlessly. This is a process everyone should experience and use.
It helps us catch our thoughts and make sure we can create the right emotions, which in turn generates preferable actions and outcomes. I currently work with a number of businesses as well as individual private clients.
Hypnotherapy
I create a very safe, comfortable and relaxing environment where a natural and often quick solution to a problem can be found using the most modern, cutting-edge techniques.
This is done by accessing your own subconscious mind and asking it to find its own way to resolve the issue. We don’t instal or replace any thoughts or ideas, behaviours or actions, instead I guide your subconscious mind to find a new way that is right for you.
With my guidance and expertise you can find your own solution to the problem or issue you face and you can start to feel better quickly. I have helped many people to live happier lives and find contentment.
Stop Smoking
If you are ready to be a non smoker then this session will have you leaving as a non smoker. This habit can be eliminated for good.
Maybe you hold the following beliefs about this smoking habit:-
- I can’t do it – I’ve tried to quit countless times already – it’s too hard
- I’m physically addicted to nicotine, so its going to be difficult to quit.It does something for me eg it relaxes me, it helps me think etc etc
- I will show you how you can walk away from this habit instantly and how it will be easy and painless for you.
Think of how liberating that will be.
You weren’t born a smoker – live your life as a non smoker

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Almost anyone in the world (who has normal cognitive function), can be hypnotized. The depth of the hypnotic state is variable from person to person, but if you can enjoy a good movie, then you can be hypnotized. Anyone who has ever become engrossed in a movie, zoned out on a long journey, or even struggled to open their eyes in the morning, while in that ‘snooze button’ state, is in trance.
Actually, it is just the opposite! You are wide awake! You are very aware, under hypnosis. You are actually in a state of what is called hypersensitivity. All of your senses are enhanced, your sight, hearing, taste, smell, and emotions. It is closer to a state of daydreaming or relaxing. You will be focused on the words of the hypnotherapist, and outside sounds will seem to fade away.
No, the hypnotic state can be terminated at any time you chose. It is your choice to enter the state, and you can always choose to leave it. If you were left in a hypnotic state by your hypnotherapist, or by a hypnotic tape, you would either return to full consciousness on your own, or enter a natural sleep, and awaken after a short pleasant nap.
Not unless you want to. It is not a truth serum! If you have a bag of money hidden in your backyard, the secret will still be safe after your session! In fact, there are many that say that you can even pass a lie detector test under hypnosis.
Hypnosis has been around for thousands of years. Hypnotherapy is simply therapy which uses hypnosis as a powerful tool to facilitate change. It is used worldwide.
No, only the natural power of your own mind is used to relieve symptoms and alter unwanted behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy is non-addictive and safe, with no unwanted or unpleasant side effects.
Yes, all the time. You do not go ‘out’, ‘under’ or ‘to sleep’. You are not unconscious. You are in an alternative state of consciousness, with a very narrow focus of attention. You can hear everything that is being said. Nothing happens without your consent. You have absolute control. However, you are extremely relaxed.
It is entirely possible to suggest to a subject that, ‘When you wake up, you will not be able to remember anything that has happened during this period of hypnosis, no matter how hard you try.’ This works really well, and often, the subject truly won’t remember what happened. But, if you don’t apply a post hypnotic suggestion of amnesia, most people will have at least some hazy recollection of the experience, whereas others will remember the whole thing in minute detail. Everybody reacts to and remembers their hypnosis experience in a slightly different way.
According to the ‘New Catholic Encyclopaedia’, the Catholic Church (the largest Christian organization in the world), feels that the ‘hypnotism is licit if used for licit purposes’. Hypnotherapy is just a tool, albeit a very powerful one, which can help people enlist the power of their own unconscious mind, in order to solve their own problems. In many respects, the effect is similar to prayer or meditation. It was also accepted by the Catholic Church as a proper procedure for its members, in 1958.
No. Normally on tapes and in group sessions, we can only do a session in one specific way. So as a rule, audio CDs and group sessions, have a much lower success ratio, than that of live sessions. This is because everyone is hypnotized a little differently and cannot be tested and individualized when not in person.
No, you will not do anything that you do not think is acceptable, or against your nature. You cannot be ‘made’ to violate your own values or accepted patterns of behaviour. You would either reject the suggestion or come out of the hypnosis. You will hear everything that is said. You are in complete control at all times.
We don’t! There’s nothing ‘magical’ about Hypnosis, but then again, there is nothing magical about magic shows either! It’s all very predictable and deliberate when you know how and what you see (or don’t see), the result is always down to a great deal of practice and skill.
