Worry, sleep and confidence
Space to explore overthinking, unsettled nights, self-doubt and the patterns that make everyday life feel harder than it needs to be.
Private work with Andrea Gardner
Your Homecoming
What do you know when you stop asking everyone else?
Perhaps worry is keeping you awake, your confidence has become quieter, or you are finding it difficult to hear what you need beneath all the other demands on you. Perhaps life has changed, and you are ready for a little space to discover what comes next.
I offer personalised hypnotherapy and coaching for sensitive people navigating anxiety, sleep difficulties, self-doubt and life transitions, alongside the deeper work of learning to trust yourself again.

Presence and time to hear yourself more clearly
I don’t believe I’m the expert on your life. You are. My role is to listen closely, ask useful questions and help create the conditions necessary for your own answers to surface.
Our work may include conversation, clinical hypnotherapy, imagineering, energy work or silent reflection. We choose together according to what you need and feel comfortable with; you do not have to know which approach to ask for before we begin.
Homecoming gives this work its thread: noticing where you lose touch with yourself, pausing, and finding a response that honours the life you want to live.
Where we might begin
Boundaries and belonging
Support when an old identity no longer fits, your needs always come last, or you are ready to make choices that feel more like your own.
Where we meet
In person in Edinburgh
I offer appointments by arrangement at Mulberry House on Thursdays and The Whole Works on Friday afternoons, with space to settle, talk and pause.
Please contact me to discuss availability and a suitable time.
Online, wherever you are
I’m based in East Lothian and also work via Zoom with clients across the UK, Switzerland and elsewhere.
For online sessions, you’ll need a comfortable, private space where you can speak freely and remain undisturbed.
Enquire about an appointmentWorking together
Your first session
We take time to understand what brings you here, what you would like to change and how we might work together. There is room for conversation and, where appropriate, a guided experience.
£120 · 90 minutes
Continuing sessions
We build on what emerges and explore how it translates into your daily life. You may want a single follow-up, or regular support weekly, fortnightly or monthly for a while.
£90 · 60 minutes
For 60-minute online sessions: CHF 150 for clients in Switzerland; €150 for clients elsewhere in Europe. Please enquire about arrangements for an initial appointment.
Support between sessions
If you would like steadier support while you practise new ways of responding in everyday life, we can discuss an ongoing arrangement with online sessions and agreed text or voice-note check-ins between them.
We would agree the session rhythm, fee and messaging arrangements before starting, so you know what support to expect.
A few questions
Do I need to know what I want to work on?
No. You can begin with a feeling, a difficulty or a sense that something needs to change. We can explore it together.
Can we work online?
Yes, sessions are available via Zoom. If you prefer to meet in person, appointments are available by arrangement at Mulberry House on Thursdays and The Whole Works on Friday afternoons in Edinburgh. We will confirm the practical arrangements before you book.
Will every session include hypnotherapy?
No. We choose the approach together. Conversation, imagination, guided work and reflection can all have a place.
What is LIFT?
LIFT — Loving Intentional Field Therapy — is my complementary, energy-based approach. Where it is relevant and welcome, we can include it within our work. You are equally welcome to come for hypnotherapy or coaching.
