 Alan Gray is a Hypno-analyst, Integrative Hypnotherapist and Stress Consultant whose expertise is in analytical and clinical hypnotherapy, stress management and life coaching. He takes a practical approach in assisting each person as an individual, since everyone is unique in their own way.
Alan also has an interest in several other aspects of personal development, including Mindfulness, Emotional Freedom and Anti-Ageing Strategies.
He helps clients in complete confidence with a very wide range of problems, many relating to stress, fears and anxiety. Hypnotherapy facilitates change to more desirable states of mind. It resolves unwanted habits and turns negative unconscious influences into positive motivation. As such it is beneficial to health, success and happiness.
Alan’s early interest in hypnosis came from his stage hypnotist uncle, a charismatic theatre performer and a 'Paul Mckenna' of his day. With a fascination for the ‘magic’ of hypnosis, Alan trained with three schools of hypnotherapy and stress management. He has since completed numerous Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes for the benefit of his many clients. These have included: Stopping Smoking, Treating Children with Hypnotherapy, Sports Enhancement with Hypnosis, Advanced Analytical Hypnotherapy, The Unconscious Mind, Corporate Stress Management, Hypnotic Language, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Pain Management.
Alan Gray has also been privileged to train with many international experts in this field including: Gil Boyne PhD of ACHE California (Developer of Transformation Therapy), Steve Andreas MA (Pioneer of NLP), Dr Rumi Peynovska MD MSc Medical Hypnotherapy NHS London, Dr John Butler PhD MA BA BSc (Analytical Hypnotherapy), Andrew Newton (who taught Paul McKenna), Dr Anna Zohrabian MD PhD Medical Principal London College of Hypnosis, Robert Kelly FIAPH (Analytical Hypnotherapy, & Smoking Cessation) and Gladeana McMahon FBACP (UK Founder of Cognitive-Behavioural Coaching).

Alan Gray has previously been a Lecturer in Further & Higher Education, Company Director & Business Consultant, and has experience in sales & marketing within the financial sector. He has a genuine interest in people and the influences that make each person special and unique. Alan has a particular empathy with many client issues having experienced and resolved similar problems himself. He continues to annually complete a level of ongoing personal & professional development which is well beyond that required by any professional hypnotherapy organisation.
Hypnotherapy can be very effective in addressing workplace stress by building resiliance and confidence. In this way it can reduce abstenteeism and sickness, raising productivity and job satisfaction. Equally it can be applied to boost sales and business performance. Alan is experienced in these sectors at individual and corporate levels.
Above all, Alan Gray is one of the most non-judgemental people you could meet. He is understanding, engaging, unassuming, with a sense of humour and commonsense. He will listen carefully and is passionate about assisting people to make the very most of their lives. He simply loves what he does - combining his interests, qualifications and life experience with a strong desire to help people.
Alan is not involved in stage hypnosis, which is entirely different to it's therapeutic use. He is always open and honest & will see clients through therapy in a time-scale which is right for them. You will always receive a warm welcome in his consulting room.
