My Story
One of only a very small number of hypnotherapists in the UK (and probably Europe) to hold an MSc in Clinical Hypnotherapy.
Garry has helped in excess of 2,000 cancer patients over fourteen years of hypnotherapy experience in an oncological setting where he is the resident hypnotherapist in a major hospital offering hypnotherapy treatment for a myriad of cancer related issues. He has received specialist cancer hospital training. He also spent a year imbedded in the hospital’s Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Team attending weekly meetings with the surgeons and oncology team to discuss cases and treatments. Garry carried out the first ground breaking UK clinical research project into the effects of pre-surgical hypnotherapy on the recovery quality in breast cancer biopsies. The results were acclaimed and are awaiting publication.
Referred to in the industry as ‘The Hypnotherapist’s Hypnotherapist’ due to the number of hypnotherapists Garry offers treatment, training and mentoring for, Garry also counts numerous Doctors, Psychologists, Psychotherapists and Counsellors amongst his patients (and has taught many of them hypnotherapy) and is seen as the ‘Go To’ hypnotherapist for the more challenging cases from all over the UK (and abroad).
Garry is also one of the few hypnotherapists contracted to the UK National Health Service (NHS) for hypnotherapeutic work, he consults on a regular basis at a major hospital specialising in oncology-based hypnotherapy work. He also practises from within a local GP surgery, with the GP’s referring many of the patients directly. In addition, he receives hospital referrals and referrals from many other local GPs and health care professionals.
Practising as a full-time therapist for many years, Garry has busy private practices in five locations in the South East of England; Farnham and Guildford in Surrey, Odiham and Fleet in Hampshire and the prestigious Harley Street in central London.
Garry was recently elected, for the second time, (by his peers in the industry) to the Hypnotherapy Profession Specific Board (PSB) for the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) in the UK, where he advises the CNHC on all aspects of hypnotherapy governance and training. He was also part of the team of three who formulated the basic UK curriculum for hypnotherapy training.
In 2016 the UK Hypnosis Convention claimed Garry to be amongst the top 30 hypnotherapists in the world!
Garry is in demand as a regular presenter at conferences and conventions all over the world, in addition to presenting his own highly acclaimed masterclasses.
The only course on working with cancer patients you will ever need. Scripts, techniques and real life case histories backed up by further mentoring via the Facebook Group from an acknowledged expert in the field of Hypno-Oncology and accredited by the Association of Hypno-Oncology Practitioners.

Can I take the opportunity to recommend to anyone that wants to get into hypnotherapy in an oncology setting that I wholeheartedly recommend Garry Coles Hypno-Oncology Masterclass.

I spent a day learning about Hypno-Oncology with Garry Coles. I don’t think there is anyone more knowledgeable than Garry and he’s an excellent trainer, so it was a complete success as far as I was concerned.
