Andy is an incredible coach, he has helped me for over 10 years. I love how I come out of his sessions relaxed and my mind is open again to see new solutions. I can highly recommend him!

Andy is a natural at what he does, you can tell he has great experience as a therapist and specifically with NLP. I found him initially at a free meetup group he was running, providing the group with fantastic knowledge and you could instantly tell he was a real purist at what he does, genuinely looking to help people. During my one 2 one with him his help was more subtle, helping me to discover the things I had to work on and I left with a much more positive and less stressed mindset than when I entered, really friendly guy, highly recommend and will use again myself!

This is my second experience with Andy, after great success getting my anxiety under control I went back to see him again, this time to quit vaping. I was getting up to vape in the middle of the night, my chest was really heavy, I couldn't concentrate in lectures. Andy sorted it all out in one hypnosis session I haven't touched it since! Thanks again Andy. 10/10 More...

I found Andy a couple of months while I was in a very delicate stage of my life where alcohol had taken over. I have been on and off therapy for most of my life and I can say with extreme confidence that Andy was the most brilliant person I ever got to work with. His knowledge and empathy were above and beyond the call of duty - he made me feel at ease right the second I stepped in his office. His experience and sympathy makes you feel completely understood and for me, I can say that I had found a safe space. I’ve got a long way to go but I am forever grateful to have found such a fantastic mentor who I know will guide me to the right direction. I could not recommend Andy enough!! More...

Andy is the guy who will unlock doors to you’re problems that you never knew were there , I call him the pathfinder as when I first went to him I was lost and needed someone to guide me through my emotional trauma and Andy has been nothing short of brilliant at this, I can honestly say without him I’d still be lost but I’m not at the end of my journey and I trust Andy to guide me the rest of the way

Andy has been a huge support to me over the last year, helping me work through some difficult issues during a period of massive change in my life. What started with hypnotherapy to quit smoking (now 1 year smoke free!) evolved in to a broader counselling and coaching relationship which has helped me to feel stronger, happier and more confident in life. Looking back its quite extraordinary to think how much has changed for the better over the last 12 months and Andy has played a huge part in helping me to achieve that. He's a lovely guy to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. More...

After hitting a rough patch, I got back in touch with Andy and he has since helped me make a significant amount of positive change in my life. As a trainer and mentor, his approach is refreshingly casual and focuses on what you deem helpful at the time without losing sight of your overall goal. He is supportive and accommodating, while also being happy to challenge your thoughts as and when it is helpful to do so.Andy’s support has been invaluable over the last few months and I’d recommend him to anyone interested in learning more about themselves and how they best function. Thank you Andy! More...

I had help from Andy almost 2 years ago. I thought it best to wait until I had quit a while before posting a review. I will start by saying he makes no outrageous claims about success rates. He was honest from the start and that appealed to me. The service was excellent, his manners impeccable and he cares.Ultimately though he stopped me smoking. I know I will never smoke another cigarette. For 30 years I was 20+ a day and overnight I stopped with Andy. You can't ask for more than that. I am happy to recommend him and ofter do! If you want to, truly want to stop then he is the guy to help you. More...

I love helping people and being able to assist them overcoming the issues they have come to see me with and then getting their lives back .It is a privilege that my clients entrust me in their care and being able to witness and be part of the change.

Sadly my best friend lost his life to mental illness , namely Schizophrenia through misadventure . I was baffled and lost .To try and understand more about mental illness , I became a be-friender with a mental health organisation here in Edinburgh working with Schizophrenics .It was a life changing experience and one that I wanted have more of . The organisation kept putting me on training courses and I found myself gaining more qualifications and experience of working with people in the Mental Health field .At the time I was running my own chemical distribution company in Edinburgh and doing very well but I was not enjoying it ,especially compared to be-friending ! Gradually , I made the transition going from being a volunteer to starting my own therapy business and it has been one of best decisions I have ever made.

Apart from my experience and qualifications , I used to suffer greatly with panic attacks , acute stress and then depression , so I know and can truly empathise with my clients .I also know what really works and what doesn't through personal experience . People who have never suffered from panic attacks or depression just don't understand just how disabling they can be and can effect anyone .I made it my work to find out how to really overcome acute stress and related conditions because I had to ..
