About
Hello, I’m Andrea Massey, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, and I’m deeply committed to helping people navigate life’s challenges with calm, clarity and confidence.
I understand how important it is to feel genuinely supported, when things feel difficult. My work is rooted in compassion and a belief in your ability to move forward, even when old patterns feel deeply ingrained.
My story
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working as a textile designer. This experience gently shaped the way I work, encouraging patience, attention to detail, and an ability to notice patterns, qualities I bring into my therapeutic practice.
I have two grown-up children, one of whom is neurodivergent. Raising my children independently, while navigating unexpected and sometimes challenging changes, has given me a deep understanding of how overwhelming life can feel. These experiences have shaped who I am and influence the way I work.
MY values
I have a love of learning, both personally and professionally, bringing this, alongside my lived experience and solution focused approach, into my work. I aim to support people in moving forward in a way that feels right for them.
At the heart of my practice is a trusted, calm space where you can feel heard, supported and free to move beyond limitations, at your own pace.
My aim is simple: to help you gain a fresh perspective and build a life that feels balanced, grounded and truly your own.
Training and qualifications
I trained with CPHT and hold the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD), awarded by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and NCFE. This nationally recognised qualification reflects a high standard of clinical training and professional practice, so you can feel confident that you're working with a qualified, ethical practitioner.
