About us

My name is Robert Finlayson. For much of my adult life, I was an actor and singer, performing principal roles in London’s West End and internationally. My interest in holistic therapies began through my own experiences as a performer, which led me to qualify as a deep tissue masseur in 2003. In 2011, I undertook professional training in hypnotherapy with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH), in collaboration with the University of West London. Over the course of three years, I developed my expertise in hypnosis to support individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress. More recently, I completed Level 2 and 3 certificates in person-centred counselling and continue to engage in regular short courses to further expand my knowledge and clinical practice. At Finlayson Hypnosis, we pride ourselves on being a trusted hypnotherapy centre in Central London, offering evidence-based and compassionate care.

My private clinic is located at Brighter Spaces in Islington, North London. Since the pandemic lockdowns, I have increasingly seen clients online. This approach has proven highly effective, allowing for more accessible and cost-efficient health care. It also means I can now work with clients across the globe. Since 2016, I have been part of the team at Livingwell CIC, a not-for-profit organisation that supports people living with long-term health conditions. This experience continues to enrich my practice and deepen my commitment to person-centred therapeutic work. At Finlayson Hypnosis, we are proud to be recognised as a leading hypnotherapy centre in Central London, specialising in hypnosis in Central London and offering support for a wide range of emotional and psychological issues.

I am fully insured and an accredited member of both The National Hypnotherapy Society and the Complementary Therapists Association (CThA), which underscores my commitment to professional standards and client safety.
