Andrew T Austin - founder of IEMT, Neurolinguist, Master NLP and Hypnotherapy

"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."

Dr. Alan Lush PhD

About Andrew T. Austin

Formerly a registered nurse working in clinical neurology and neurosurgery, Andrew began his nursing career in Accident and Emergency. Working in A&E he quickly developed a strong reputation for working with the many psychiatric and mental health related emergencies that were frequently presented to the department.

It was during this period in 1994 that he began training in hypnosis and therapy at the Royal Masonic Hospital in London and his interest in psychotherapy and neurolinguistics grew. Andrew is the founding designer and trainer of Integral Eye Movement Therapy IEMT, and Metaphors of Movement

Please note: Andrew T. Austin is not a registered psychiatric nurse, nor has he worked as a psychiatric nurse as is commonly mentioned on many profiles on the internet. He does not run or host NLP training courses, nor offer certification in NLP.
