About Danny Start

Hi and here’s a little about me. As this will help you get to know me a bit better, which will hopefully help you relax and let go during our hypnotherapy session.

Why did I become a hypnotherapist?

After reading Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton, I felt a deep calling to do this work — to help others, raise spiritual consciousness and help connect peoples with their soul’s journey.

I also knew firsthand the power of hypnotherapy, having used it personally to create rapid, lasting change. Through several sessions, I was able to overcome patterns and challenges in my own life, including issues around addiction — an experience that deepened my belief in the profound healing potential of this work.

Addiction runs through my family, like in so many others. My mum — the most amazing person I’ve ever known — and my younger brother, a truly brilliant man, both passed away from alcohol-related causes in the past eight years. I did everything I could to help them and was left heartbroken and confused, searching for answers. That loss is still a big part of what drives me today: to help others find freedom and healing.

For a long time, I was caught in the same pattern they were. I had unconsciously copied the programs and behaviours I grew up around. Then, through hypnosis, everything began to change. I had four powerful hypnotherapy sessions that completely freed me from the grip alcohol once had on me. The cravings, the constant mental battle — they simply disappeared. It felt like a weight had lifted that I didn’t even know I was still carrying.

Since then, I’ve developed a healthy, natural relationship with alcohol. I can now take it or leave it — and 95% of the time, I leave it. It’s no longer a craving, a problem, or even something I think about. That’s true freedom.

I must add that I took a year off completely from alcohol first. Then, gradually reintroduced it. 

That moment ignited my purpose: to show others that healing doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle. There is hope.

Since then, I’ve trained extensively — in Hypnotherapy, NLP, EMDR, EFT, Reiki, Acupuncture, Past Life Regression, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), Quantum Consciousness, and with the Michael Newton Institute for Life Between Lives facilitation. I also regularly attend Buddhist meditation retreats (Dhanakosa), where I continue to deepen my understanding of the healing practices taught by the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.

Today, I blend all these approaches — clinical and spiritual — to help people rapidly overcome addictions, fears, self-worth issues, and other emotional challenges. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client return just one week later, feeling free, peaceful, and empowered.

While I continue to help people with addiction and emotional healing, my work has naturally evolved to specialise in spiritual hypnosis — particularly Life Between Lives sessions. These profound experiences often help clients release lifelong struggles with addiction, trauma, fear, or anxiety. When someone truly experiences themselves as an eternal being — radiant, loved, and safe — it changes everything. The sting of life softens, and a deep peace emerges. It’s not for everyone, and many clients simply benefit from clinical hypnosis alone. But for those drawn to explore the spiritual dimension of who they are, these sessions can be profoundly healing — as they were for me, for many of my clients, and for countless others guided through Michael Newton’s pioneering work.

I’ve dedicated my life to helping others find that same freedom — because I know firsthand that real transformation is possible.

So, as well as being a clinical hypnotherapist, I am also a physiotherapist. I have been involved in the medical world for over 20 years. I have a university degree in this medical profession. I believe medical professionals who become hypnotherapists are able to help their clients to an even greater extent. It also gives my clients added confidence in my ability and professionalism to look after them and always have their best interests at heart.

Also being a medical professional, I am able to advise and guide on your physical issues. Sometimes your physical problems can be from emotional issues and vice versa.  My passion in life is to ‘help others’…and I follow the wise words of HH The Dalai Lama “Be kind whenever possible…It is always possible”.

I am also an acupuncture therapist and occasionally combine hypnotherapy with this modality.

As well as being very scientific minded, I am also spiritual minded too. Over the last decade I have become very open-minded and this has greatly helped with my hypnotherapy clients. I truly believe every person is a wonderful miracle with amazing potential.

Our soul is able to self-heal…but we need our conscious mind to move out the way to allow this to happen.

The hard part is often convincing the client…however in hypnosis the unconscious mind is open and will accept these beliefs…if you want them. Contact/Book Appointment – Start Hypnosis

I believe we should live life like the ‘May-Fly’. They only live for 24 hours but do they mope around, worrying about tomorrow…? No, not one bit. In that one magical day they live their life to the fullest…they savor they swoop…savoring every drop of pleasure and fun that is possible. Then after a festive day filled with laughter, they find their soulmate, fall in love and watch the sun set!  (7) Vodafone – Mayfly – YouTube

I love what I do for a living, I love being a hypnotherapist as I am able to help almost every person in some way…and sometimes in a revolutionary life changing way!
