I’m Andrea
This is the work I’m living as much as teaching.
I’m an author, clinical hypnotherapist, coach and communications professional. Across these different strands, I keep returning to the same curiosity: how the words we use and the stories we live shape our relationship with ourselves.
The thread through my work
For years, my work centred on communication: shaping messages, writing and speaking about the power of words. Alongside that, I trained as a Reiki Master, clinical hypnotherapist and Heal Your Life coach.
My book, Change Your Words, Change Your World, was published by Hay House. The Power of Words film brought this interest in language to a much wider audience. Today, writing and private work continue to inform each other.
Homecoming brings these experiences together around a question that has become increasingly important to me: how do we remain in relationship with others without losing touch with ourselves?

Coming home to yourself
I’ve had chapters in my life when the familiar answers to “Who am I?” began to unravel. Divorce, changes in work and moving between countries have all asked me to reconsider where I belong, what I value and how I want to live.
Along the way, I’ve begun to notice how easily being useful, understanding and adaptable can become a way of securing our place in other people’s lives. I’m learning to recognise when I’m doing that, to listen more closely to myself, and to make room for what brings me alive—including writing, friendship and making people laugh.
Homecoming is growing out of those experiences. They inform the book I’m writing and the space I offer others who are finding their way through change. There is room here for uncertainty, humour and the wonderfully ordinary business of being human.
How I work
I don’t believe I’m the expert on your life. You are. I can listen, notice patterns, ask questions and offer possibilities, while leaving room for your own understanding to emerge.
Private sessions may include conversation, hypnotherapy, imagineering, energy work or silent reflection. LIFT — Loving Intentional Field Therapy — is my complementary, energy-based approach, which we can include where it is welcome and appropriate.
I’m based in East Lothian and work online with clients across the UK, Switzerland and elsewhere. In-person appointments are available by arrangement at Mulberry House in Edinburgh on Thursdays. Please contact me to discuss availability.
