My Soul Coach

Neil Sunley is a UK performance psychology consultant, clinical hypnotherapist and working actor. He specialises in helping performers handle pressure, control anxiety and deliver when they’re being watched, judged and recorded.

Neil’s background is rooted in real pressure environments. He is a former martial arts school owner, head coach and competitor, and has spent more than 20 years in professional hypnotherapy, running a private therapy practice that supports clients with anxiety, trauma recovery and confidence. That work led him into performance psychology and, ultimately, into film and television work himself.

Neil created the MSC Method, a practical system that blends sports psychology, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and targeted hypnosis to build repeatable mental routines for auditions, recalls, self-tapes and set days. The focus is not “think positive,” it’s controlled state, presence on demand and the ability to recover fast between takes.

He now works 1-to-1 with actors, athletes and other high-stakes performers. His approach is direct, evidence-based and built for high-stakes environments.
