About Me

Anthony Ashley

I trained with John Butler at The Hypnotherapy Training Institute of Britain in Analytical/Clinical Hypnotherapy. The company offers, in my opinion, the best in hypnotherapy theories and practical training, taking everything they teach from the late Gil Boyne – a pioneer in the world of therapy. This is my most recent qualification and I endeavour to continue my learning over the coming years to expand my knowledge further still.

Here’s a little on my past:

For as long as I can remember, I have had a very strong interest in magic. I have fond memories of attempting to amaze my family with a few plastic cups and sponge balls (though thinking back now, they probably weren’t as amazed as I imagined).

This interest has stuck with me even today, but throughout its evolution, it turned into a very strong interest in effects that involved psychological elements.

After studying the subject avidly, about 10 years ago, I used hypnosis in an effect. I was hooked instantly.

As my knowledge of the subject grew, I used it more and more, and after helping a friend remove a phobia of dogs she had kept all of her life, I knew I wanted to use my skills for more than magic effects.

In 2007, I trained in hypnotherapy and direct suggestion which served to deepen my interest further. I became interested in the coaching and counselling side of hypnotherapy, which led me to my most recent training in London with John Butler & Gil Boyne.
