Welcome to The Thriving Mind


Hypnotherapist & Life Coaching in Gosport, Hampshire

I'm Stuart McIndoe, the founder of The Thriving Mind, a successful and results driven coaching and hypnotherapy practice based in Gosport, Hampshire.  My journey into the realms of coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy stems from a deeply personal connection to mental health challenges. 

Having navigated my own struggles and setbacks, I understand the profound impact that mental health can have on every aspect of life. Through my personal exploration, commitment to continuous self-improvement, and the practice of disciplined techniques, I have not only overcome obstacles but have also discovered the incredible capacity of the mind to not only survive but to thrive.
