Hypnotherapy is all about helping people think, see and experience life in ways that are preferable to them. During the sessions we will help you feel safe and calm and reimagine your best hopes and how you want life to be. We'll then use solution focused techniques and hypnosis to help you reconnect with the amazing, nurturing power of your mind and take those initial steps forward. Many people I have seen have said that hypnotherapy was enjoyable and life changing. Why not get in touch, let's have a conversation, never any pressure. You are unique and important and very capable of making positive change. Take good care. Andy Hill

About Behypnotherapy
Thank you for reading my profile
My name is Andy Hill, I am 53 years old and have been practising solution focused hypnotherapy since qualifying in 2020. In that time I've seen over 70 people ranging in ages from 10 to nearly 80 years old, from all sorts of backgrounds with all sorts of issues.
I absolutely love this work and feel alive when I am working with people and following the methods we were taught. There are four main reasons why I feel so motivated about being a hypnotherapist:
Firstly, people keep telling me that they feel so much better about themselves and their lives after having hypnotherapy. To me this feels remarkable, inspiring, and humbling every single time – it really does.
Secondly, the therapy is completely authentic and it is continually validated by neuroscientific findings. There is no psychobabble. There are no gimmicks, there is nothing to sell or persuade a person to do. We just help people connect back with the incredible power of their own mind.
Thirdly, people are fascinating. Everyone has their story and everyone has many more strengths and resources than they realise. In this therapy we believe in the person in front of us and know that in their heart of hearts, they do know what they need, how they want to feel and the steps they can take to get there.
Last but not least, the techniques we use have shown me that therapy and change doesn’t need to be painful or never ending. On the contrary, most people are seeing benefits within about 6 sessions and although we are dealing with very important issues, the sessions themselves are positive, often upbeat and we sometimes even laugh lightly at ourselves.
If the above resonates with you, why not get in touch. Let’s have a conversation.

Training & Accreditation
Essential credentials
My essential credentilas are:
- 53 years of life...with all it's ups and downs, mistakes, learning, highs and lows, colours and textures
- My two boys and my partner - my constant educators
- A Diploma in Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy - awarded by the Clifton Practice of Hypnotherapy https://cphtplymouth.co.uk/
- A Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) - awarded by the National Council of Hypnotherapy. This was a herculean task and involved hundreds of hours of study. It was a fanstastic achievement and so worthwhile as it broadened and deepened my knowledge: https://www.hypnotherapists.org.uk/
Continuing Professional Development
My Continual Professional Development has so far included in-depth training days on:
- Hypnotherapy and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Hypnotherapy and Weight Loss - A mind set approach
- Hypnotherapy and working with Young People
Supervision
As with all members of the AfSFH, I have regular supervision with a highly experienced therapist together with a group of other qualified practitioners. These are an amazing way to keep connected, updated and ask for advice and guidance.
Reading
I am an avid reader of anything related to hynotherapy, the brain and the mind. This ranges from early influencers like Emile Coue, Dave Elman, MIlton Erickson right through to modern day neuroscientists like John Ratey, David Eagleman and Ethan Kross. It also includes related subjects like moitivation and habit change.
Hypnotherapy myself
As a personal choice, I have hypnotherapy myself about once every two months, or more frequently if needed. This is always a great boost, an opportunity to experience the therapy from the other side and benefit from solution focused conversation and hypnosis.
20 years in the NHS
Previously I worked for 20 years as a manager in the NHS in Somerset and although this was demanding it gave me a thorough grounding in health related matters plus a masters degree, management training, project management, group work and meeting management skills and annual mandatory training including: data protection, safeguarding, health inequalities.
