About me
I'm Andy, I am a highly experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Edinburgh, specialising in helping people overcome Drug Addiction, especially Nicotine (Smoking and Vaping), Alcohol Abuse and Cocaine Addiction.
Using proven, effective techniques from Hypnotherapy, Nutrition and Addiction Therapy, I can help you stop, simply and easily, and get your life back...fast.
What sets my service apart is that I am also an Addiction Counsellor and Recovery Coach, so I am confident I can help you. With thousands of hours treating these issues, I understand what is causing you to be addicted.
Getting started
I offer a free, no-obligation phone consultation so you can ask any questions you might have. I can explain exactly what is involved and allay any fears you might have, such as dealing with cravings and withdrawal.
From there, I will devise a treatment plan which is unique to you, and this is how I get results - everyone has a unique reason why they use addictive substances, whether it's food, tobacco, alcohol or gambling.
When working with me
Apart from helping you quit your habit, whether it be Alcohol or any other substance, I will also teach you how to deal with any stress and cravings. Cravings are the first thing I address when we meet. Imagine how easy it would be to stop for good if you knew you could get rid of the cravings in 90 seconds? I will show you how.
This seems to be the biggest barrier stopping people from quitting - the fear of not being able to deal with the cravings. I can also help you quit smoking for good. I have been helping people to stop using addictive substances since August 2000, so I know what works and what doesn't.
Everything is conducted under strict confidentiality
To find out if I am the right Hypnotherapist for you, I offer a free phone consultation where you can discuss your condition. I also offer evening/online consultations to save you from having to take time off work, or to help with organising child care. I will explain how I can be of help and what exactly is involved.
