About Andrew Wills
From early childhood my life was centred on music which became the foundation for my professional career as a classical musician. As the years passed, my path evolved and I transitioned into the realm of personal and professional growth. With over two decades of experience in learning and development, I’ve had the privilege of guiding individuals and teams toward their corporate goals and personal aspirations. I’ve witnessed the transformative power of coaching and training, helping people unlock their true potential and achieve remarkable breakthroughs. My journey has led me to become a co-active coach, where I blend my interest in human behaviour, communication and emotional intelligence to empower others on their own paths to success.
In addition to my coaching abilities, I’ve embraced the world of Clinical Hypnotherapy, delving into the depths of the subconscious mind to facilitate healing, personal growth and self-improvement.
My diverse background as a musician, coach and hypnotherapist has allowed me to explore the profound connections between creativity, mind-set and personal transformation, making me a well-rounded guide for those seeking to uncover their hidden potential and lead more fulfilling lives.
My journey continues to be testament to the limitless possibilities that unfold when one embraces their passions and dedicates themselves to the art of self-discovery and empowerment.

i attend Matthew classes for Hypnotherapy it was lovely warm and i learnt a lot he is so experience in all the field he has thought me it is so amazing how he cares for the groups of students including myself he is just an awesome tutor.
I have attended the Inspiraology weekend format course in Bristol and found it to be very informative, well taught and professionally delivered. I am now completing the additional HPD with Inspiraology to complete my studies. I would recommend Inspiraology to anyone returning to education, wanting to start a new profession in Hypnotherapy, or for those already working in therapy and wanting to add another service to their offerings. I will continue with Inspiraology for my CPD and other short courses which they offer.

Wonderfully constructed course with great content, guest speakers and practical help towards starting your own hypnotherapy career. We at Renewal Mindfulness would fully recommend this course.
I have just completed the 10 month IHT London hypnotherapy training run by Matthew Cahill. I would strongly recommend the course. It was well-structured and paced. The course materials provided really helped to embed the key elements. Matthew's experience was evident throughout, exposing us to the latest thinking. The course also exceeded expectations in providing great business and marketing guidance - not just the pitfalls, but also how best to market yourself to create the sort of practice that you want. Throughout the course and beyond you really feel supported.
Fantastic training, thorough and informative ready to set you up for practise. Highly recommend, You will learn and have fun, in a supportive setting knowing you are learning from the best.
A fantastic course to learn and develop as a person and practitioner. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable and provides a modern and comprehensive training course for today's clinical hypnotherapists. The course was delivered in a nice environment, convenient location and friendly way. I've already begun seeing clients and look forward to my future in this field.
Laura is an extremely knowledgeable and engaging course leader and it's obvious that she has been a School Teacher for many years. Her sessions are always great fun and yet I always feel like I have learnt so much! I really enjoyed the variety of teaching and learning activities, finding the interactive group work particularly useful. The ongoing support through supervision is great and I'm always learning more about a wide variety of therapeutic methods and the science behind it all. Laura has created a real sense of community through our group supervision sessions and I really enjoy the way we support each other. She is brilliant!
I have just completed my course, and yes it was scary starting something new in my 50’s! It was also a great challenge to overcome!I can honestly say, it’s been life changing! What I have taken away from this is not only amazing knowledge to pass on to my clients, but importantly, what I have learnt about myself.This course has given me the skills and motivation to take this forward and build a successful business for myself moving forward, so I am incredibly grateful that I chose IHT to achieve this challenge.I have met some amazing people, made great friends and had a lot of fun along the way. Looking forward to CPD training now.
I had the best time on the hypnotherapy course run by Matthew and Joanna. Very informative with lots of guidance, assistance and encouragement provided. Great atmosphere as well, plenty of fun and laughter. Will recommend to anyone wanting to do hypnotherapy as a career move, it will change your life!

Very knowledgeable teacher. Had such a great time learning from Laura. I often struggle when it comes to classroom work but Laura made it fun whilst also ensuring I was engaged. A great way to learn both the theoretical and practical side of hypnotherapy. You have given me so much confidence. Thank you again Laura 🙌
I have just completed my Hypnotherapy training and I can honestly say it has been life changing for me. Matthew and his team were simply amazing and very supportive! I have already recommended a friend to embark on her journey with IHT, which she will be starting shortly!
Laura uses her broad range of knowledge, personable approach and teaching experience to make the course both fun and engaging. The training is first class and the support throughout was fantastic.

Such a great teacher. I loved being on the course with Laura. She has a way of making the hardest parts digestible! So knowledgeable. I’ve learnt so much through this course. I wish I’d done it years ago.
Excellent training for hypnotherapy, delivered with a very clear and friendly style and all the help and support you could possibly require. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to become a competent and confident hypnotherapist. Thank you, Laura, for your hard work and dedication.

Having recently graduated, I thought it would be great to share my experience of this hypnotherapy training course. It is such an informative course, it has taught me and prepared me for my career in hypnotherapy. Matthew is a fantastic teacher, extremely patient and knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend this course.
I did my clinical hypnotherapy training with Matthew. It was the perfect blend of neuroscience, theory, and practical component. It gives you confidence and prepares you for running your own private practice. Matthew is a great teacher and mentor, who guides you through the whole training journey.
I started my training in April 2022 and was really very skeptical about hypnotherapy. To my surprise its not too dramatic to say the first weekend of training changed my life. I was so enthused and eager to learn more, and Matthew Cahill is so positive and knowledgeable about the subject that you cannot help but be impressed, enthused and eager to learn. I completed my hypnotherapy training in February 2023 and I have seen first hand how I have already helped a number of people to a better way of life without the anxiety, anger etc. If you have any doubts about this course just do it, take it from me it will change you .... for the better.

I studied hypnotherapy under Paul and found him an inspiring and amazing teacher. His stop smoking session was really impressive to see done in the class.
Senior lecturer, Mathew Cahill and his lovely team have put together one amazing, highly enjoyable course worth every penny.His professional approach to modern hypnotherapy has been very valuable, not only as a career but also on a personal level. Highly recommended.
I recently completed my Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Matthew. It was both enjoyable and informative. I firmly believe that you should learn from the best and this course certainly fulfils that. Thank you Matthew.
Thank you Matthew,For truly helping others by giving them the most empowering tool of all - the knowledge how to overcome any obstacle in life with ease; for showing me how I can be a much calmer, focused and confident version of myself; for giving me the opportunity to discover my personal Olympus and conquer my Titans; Thank you for making my life better...and smoke free!
Matthew is an inspiration to all. His knowledge, experience, support and calm demeanour provides a foundation to help those he works with to create positive change. I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to anyone who is looking to build confidence and make positive changes in their lives.
I completed my Diploma in Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy at Mathew's London branch. He's an absolute wealth of knowledge regarding hypnotherapy and has written a book on the topic (Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy: A Practitioners Guide).He genuinely wants his students to do well and is I found him very generous with his time. I highly recommend anyone looking at making the leap into hypnotherapy as a career to consider studying under Matthew.
Matthew is the consummate professional, personal, pleasant interactions leading to great control, coordination and communication. His personal style is tel Ed and leads to great outcomes
Matthew Cahill and his team provide a first-class intensive course at Finsbury Circus in London. Over the 10 months we were made to actively participate and practice a therapist's skills, so that by the end we felt completely confident and ready for practising. There was fanatastic backup and communication between sessions, with questions always comprehensively and promptly answered. All aspects were covered including marketing, the therapeutic relationship, ethical practices, as well as the techniques themselves. For all the tuition and support we got it was excellent value.We were taught that a session of hypnotherapy should be the highlight of the client's week. The tuition days were certainly the highlight of my month.I can't recommend the course highly enough.
Matthew is an inspiration. The hypnotherapy training provided is first class and I’ve learnt so much. His calm professional approach is so supportive and he has really built my confidence and changed the way I work
I was a capsized wreck but now I'm sailing at full mast and Matthew is the steady hand that guided me safely back to port. These 10 sessions with Matthew changed my perspective on everything. A heartfelt and genuine thank you!
Matthew is hugely knowledgeable in his field, something that he shares with both ease and passion. He is able to share a wealth of both theoretical and practical knowledge and I greatly enjoyed working with him. His approach is calm, focused and fun and as he would put it, you can just "enjoy the journey"!
The training was first class! The course was highly enjoyable and informative and upon completion I felt confident both in my ability as a clinical hypnotherapist, but also in my ability to start up a new and very exciting business.

Excellent course content! Course leader Matthew Cahill is an expert on the subject matter and is clearly passionate about improving current practices and taking hypnotherapy to the mainstream.
Matthew's knowledge, skill and professionalism as a trainer of hypnotherapy is extremely motivating. The course is thorough and of a very high quality.

Just qualified in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and it is the best thing I have done this year. The course is well-designed with a good balance between theory and practice, and Matthew draws from 18 years of experience in the field which is absolutely unbeatable.

This course was amazing. If you’re contemplating hypnotherapy training, you’ve most likely been researching lots of courses and trying to make a decision - I can highly recommend this course. Neuroscience underpins this training and it is informed by research. The tutors Matthew and Jo, have years of experience between then and make learning an enjoyable experience. Great venue and our group wasn’t big which I preferred as I got more out of the course.
