Email meAbout me
My name is Andy Smith and I am a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist with experience working in both private and public sector agencies.
Talking therapies are great at giving people the time to explore the issues that they experience daily. By coming here you've already taken your first step toward achieving your goal whatever it may be. Over the years I've worked with people to;
* Help them feel more relaxed
* Increase their confidence
* Release themselves from stress
* Refuse to be ruled by anxiety
* Overcome a fear
* Take control of a habit or addiction (such as over-eating or smoking)
* Feel more motivated to achieve their goals
* Look on life with more positivity
* Improve performance in sporting activities
Each problem a person experiences is unique so please get in touch and let's talk about how we could work together.
In addition to having my own practice I work within the NHS and for the West Surrey and North East Hampshire Youth Counselling Service, part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) meaning I am fully DBS certified.
I am passionate about helping people navigate problems they experience in their lives. I have many years of study and practice and I would love to work with you to help you.
