Over the past 17 years he has been developing his gift and experience as a healer and hypnotherapist and normally works in private practice at 'SERENDIPITY', 28 Marischal Street, Aberdeen (01224 – 213808).

He has been featured on a number of radio programmes and appeared in Grampian TV's: 'The Mysterious North' (22.06.1996), BBC1's "Kilroy" (23.02.2001) - repeated on BBC2 (27.07.2001) and 'Faith Without Walls: Mind, Body, Spirit' on STV and Grampian TV on 19.08.2001.

A number of his patients' stories have been reported in the local, national and Sunday papers and national journals - stories including those who had been suffering from:

paralysis and multiple injuries,
rheumatoid arthritis, asthma,
endometriosis, ME/post-viral syndrome,
food intolerances, skin problems, allergies and stress,
brain tumour,
epilepsy,
arms, back and neck problems,
decades of pain,
kidney stones,
anorexia,
cancer.

He has conducted a pilot-study on restricted neck movement (RNM) with a paper published in the Journal of the Hypnotherapy Research Society (1999), described as, “an exciting clinical piece, ... albeit only tangentially related to hypnotherapy: he has produced clinical data on some physical effects of spiritual healing - something which is very hard to come by”.

His pilot-study on RNM has been followed-up by a randomised controlled trial funded by Grampian Primary Care NHS Trust with academic and statistical support by the Department of General Practice and Primary Care, University of Aberdeen.
