Paul McKenna
Paul McKenna (born 8 November 1963, in Enfield, Middlesex) is a hypnotist and self-improvement author. According to the Sunday Times he is Britain's best selling non-fiction author and is published in 30 languages.
McKenna has written and produced books and multimedia products, hosted self-improvement television shows and presents seminars in hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming and weight loss.
A hypnotist who guested on his radio show at Capital FM led to a developing interest in the subject, initially for reasons of self-development, although entertainment was later to play a big part. Whilst still working at Capital, he began experimenting with small hypnotic shows, first for the amusement of friends, then for audiences in pubs and clubs. McKenna then started doing regular Sunday night shows at the Duke of York's Theatre, which was owned at the time by Capital. The success of those shows led to his playing other theatres across the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, the US, Australia and Hong Kong.
In 1993, ITV broadcast The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna, which featured audience members volunteering to be hypnotised to act in comedic ways, the show subsequently being aired in 42 countries. During this time, McKenna continued to study hypnosis, and neuro-linguistic programming.
Many of McKenna's one-to-one hypnotherapy clients are celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and David Walliams, who used McKenna to help with his swim across the English Channel.
In the 1990s, McKenna presented a number of TV programmes including The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna, Paul McKenna's Paranormal World and Hyp the Streets. He uses Thought Field Therapy in many of his television demonstrations.
