About Andrew & marvellous Thinking.
Hi, I’m Andrew, founder of marvellous Thinking Hypnotherapy.
My journey into hypnotherapy began with a life-changing moment of my own.
In fact, it happened the first time I stepped into a hypnotherapy practice in Holborn, London, just a few years ago.
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I was a tad cynical about hypnotherapy and whether it would actually work for me. The experience I had proved me wrong, however, and I was completely blown-away, walking out with a sense of lightness, warmth, and clarity I had never felt before.
For the first time, I felt genuinely free, happy, and, well… pretty marvellous.
That single session showed me what was possible when you stop dwelling on the past and start focusing on the present and the future.
I founded marvellous Thinking Hypnotherapy because I wanted to bottle that exact same feeling I got on that day and share it with everyone and I think I've done just that.
Away from hypnotherapy…
I was born in Croydon in the mid-eighties (don’t hold that against me) and moved to East London at 21 to pursue my love of music.
Over the years that followed, I performed hundreds of gigs, played in several bands, toured across Europe and was lucky enough to secure both management and a record deal. Eventually, my creative attention moved from music into writing, although music has never entirely left me.
Since then, I’ve written a collection of darkly comic short stories, a children’s book, a fairytale and The Worry Man; an illustrated self-help poem about over-worrying. More recently, I was fortunate enough to have my debut novel, The Depressed Life Coach, published by Vulpine Press. I’m also a member of the London Comedy Writers.
On the surface, music, writing and hypnotherapy might seem like quite different paths. For me, however, they have always been connected by the same thing: an interest in people, the way we think, the stories we tell ourselves and the things that help us feel less alone.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realise just how valuable genuine human connection can be. That realisation is a large part of why I’m also studying to become a counsellor and why I volunteer with Age UK each week.
All of these experiences naturally find their way into the way I work. I’m warm(ish), down-to-earth, creative and genuinely interested in people. Above all, I want anyone I work with to feel listened to, comfortable and able to be completely themselves.
