“This is the most interesting book about therapy I’ve read since Jay Haley’s Uncommon Therapy.”
—Steve Andreas, author of Six Blind Elephants, and co-author of Heart of the Mind.
"Whatever your level or level of interest in NLP this book's a must - as it is for anyone who enjoys Robert Anton Wilson..."
- Amazon.co.uk review"Andy Austins Rainbow Machine will have you laughing, gasping in horror and awe, and wishing like hell that you lived close enough to him to get an appointment. He is the British Milton Erickson."
--Bill O Hanlon, author of Change 101 and many other books about brief therapy."The author tells stories as provocative as Richard Bandler's (NLP cofounder and legend), with the warmth, wisdom, and wit of Mark Twain."
Amazon.com review
Based in Chichester, West Sussex, England, I am a licensed NLP Master Practitioner (Society of NLP, Paul McKenna,
Michael Breen, Richard Bandler), Clinical Hypnotherapist (British
Hypnosis Research, Royal Masonic Hospital, London) with a background
clinical experience of Neurosurgery and Clinical Neurology at the UK's largest teaching hospital as a registered nurse.
Since 1996 I have been teaching Hypnotherapy and Brief Therapy techniques in the Southampton, Portsmouth, Bristol
and Chichester areas and have recently completed my NLP Trainer's Training with the Society of NLP in Florida (March 2007).
In 1994 I formed the popular South Hants Hypnosis and NLP Study Group and have trained with such notables as Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna, Frank Farrelly, Sidney Rosen, Joseph Griffin and Stephen Brooks.
After I moved to Chichester I started The West Sussex Hypnosis and NLP Study Group which meets each month with an array of guest speakers and trainers at Chichester University, Bishop Otter Campus.
"Andrew Austin is clear, original, and outspoken about mental illness, medication, and psychiatry. His skills were honed by years of experience in the "trenches" of psychiatry, so he knows what he is talking about." Steve Andreas, author of "Transforming Your Self" and other books about therapy and personal change.
With many of my articles recommended by a number of leading universities as study material for psychology students, I am regularly consulted by television production and media companies regarding alternative psychology, hypnosis and neurological syndromes.
I can be as controversial as I can be popular, and my services include one-to-one and group or family therapy as well as training/seminars. I am often called on to advise families of clients who are under a compulsory treatment order of The Mental Health Act and I also work with families of such clients in a therapeutic and interventionist role.
Dr. Alan Lush PhD, writes: "Andy is as insightful in person as his website would suggest. Unorthodox, perhaps, but always passionate; his grasp of his chosen subject is, frankly, astonishing and matched only by the single mindedness with which he pursues still deeper understanding."
R.G, writes: "A sincere thank-you to you, you were like a friend who talked a lot of sense…"
R.S, writes: "I'm so glad I rang you! Thank you for your help - it's magic!"
