‘The healer has to heal’

‘Hi, I'm Andrew Robert Brash Brackenfield, thank you for potentially choosing me as your hypnotherapist and guide to a better you.

There is a saying in the health and well being community that ‘a healer has to heal’, and I take this to mean that in order to fully understand and have genuine heartfelt compassion for our clients' issues, then the healer has to have faced and successfully overcome, some kind of deeply troubling issue or issues of their own. 

I was adopted from birth, told when I was four years old and this disconnect within myself and my surroundings, produced in me a very profound understanding of a person's pain and the sufferings we can all go through and a very strong desire to help. I don't believe this would have been the case had I stayed with my birth mother and been brought up by her. 

To this day being adopted remains my biggest wound, but also my greatest ever teacher. It has made me the person I am today, yes it nearly broke me, but it didn’t and I'm thankful for the insights and self reliance it has taught me. 

In my therapeutic approach, that I first started over twenty five years ago, I combine my knowledge of self with a very solid understanding of how our minds respond with hypnosis and the healing benefits it brings.

I also use an instinctual side of myself that helps me to guide a client when looking at issues to be faced. Interestingly enough I recently discovered that my blood relative Grandparents were both Spiritual Mediums and ran a successful practice helping people to contact recently deceased loved ones, so I often wonder if I’ve inherited some of their powers of sight?

Another thing I must add is that I absolutely love to inspire people to be their best selves, so expect me to be able to help you and then push you on to becoming the very best version of yourself! :)
