About Andy – LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist

My name is Andy Selway (he/him) and I run HeadFirst Hypnotherapy, a supportive and future-focused practice based in Oxfordshire. As a gay man, I know how important it is to feel fully seen, heard, and respected in therapy.

I support adults across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum – lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, pansexual, non-binary, gender-fluid, agender, and more – as well as anyone seeking an inclusive and affirming space.

You don’t need to explain or justify your identity here. Instead, you’ll find a safe, affirming environment where you can explore challenges, shift negative thought patterns, and build authentic confidence in your identity, relationships, and wellbeing.

My Experience and Approach

I practise Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, integrating:

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques

  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

  • Mindfulness

This evidence-based, neuroscience-informed approach supports you to rewire unhelpful thoughts, release self-limiting beliefs, and create new patterns of resilience and wellbeing.

I support adults with a wide range of concerns including:

  • Anxiety, stress, and low mood

  • Confidence and self-esteem

  • Phobias and fears

  • Sleep issues and overwhelm

  • Psychosexual and performance concerns

  • Relationships, intimacy, and self-acceptance

  • Compulsive sexual behaviour, Porn reliance and destructive habits

    and much more... see my website for more information

My role is to hold a genuinely affirming, non-judgemental space where every part of your identity is welcomed and respected. Together, we focus on your strengths, your best hopes, and the small steps that lead to meaningful change.
