Ted is a seasoned airline pilot and a qualified Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist, with over 10 years of professional flying experience across four airlines and multiple aircraft types. His aviation career has taken him around the world, piloting both short and long haul flights to diverse destinations including China, India, and the USA and almost everywhere in between.

Ted’s approach is grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, allowing him to design highly effective, targeted sessions that replace unwanted thoughts and behaviours with empowering alternatives. With Ted’s guidance, you can embark on a focused and transformative journey toward lasting wellbeing and personal freedom.
