I'm Andrew Mercer BA(hons), DHP(adv.),PGCE MNCP, CNHC,

A professionally trained and qualified Analytical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist based in Basildon, Essex

My background 

Following the completion of my degree in philosophy, in which I specialised in the study of the mind and consciousness, I enjoyed a successful career in Sales and Administration, first in the city of London, then at one of the London’s most famous Landmarks. However, I felt that I was not making full use of my qualifications, this led me into the world of Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy in general. Having trained and worked while still living in London I decided to relocate back to Basildon, my former home town, having been away for almost 20 years…

I studied Hypnotherapy, Hypnoanalysis and Psychotherapy at the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis, one of the foremost training institutes in the country, and recognised as such around the world.

I hold the following qualifications

• Advanced Diploma in Hypnosis with Psychotherapy
• Diploma in Hypnoanalysis (Advanced)
• Advanced Analytical Hypno-Psychotherapy (Certificated)
• Certificate of studies in Clinical Hypnotherapy
• Specialist Diploma in Psycho-sexual Disorders
• Zur Institue qualifications in Jungian Psychotherapy
• And BA (Hons) in Philosophy
   

I am also A fully qualified School Teacher holding ‘Qualified Teacher Status’ and therefore have a very clear understanding of children and childhood issues.
I am happy and able to work with children under the age of 18
