Timeline

1963

Paul McKenna (born 8 November 1963) is a British hypnotist, behavioural scientist, television and radio broadcaster and author of self-help books.

McKenna has hosted self-improvement television shows and presents seminars in hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, weight loss, motivation, the Zen meditation Big Mind, Amygdala Depotentiation Therapy (ADT) and the Havening techniques.

McKenna was born in Enfield, London to a builder and a home economics teacher.

He attended St Ignatius College.

He was routinely bullied by his teachers for his dyslexia.

McKenna started working in Radio Top Shop aged 16, and went on to present for stations including Radio Caroline and Capital London.

1990

After several years presenting at BBC Radio 1 in the early 1990s, McKenna presented a number of TV programmes including The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna (1993–97), The Paranormal World of Paul McKenna (1996–97) and Hyp the Streets (1999).

1994

He won the Television and Radio Industries Club Award for Best TV Newcomer in 1994.

During this time, he continued his studies of hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) with Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP.

1996

In 1996, McKenna was granted a PhD from LaSalle University in Louisiana.

It was legally licensed by the state, but it falsely claimed to be an accredited institution.

The school exempted McKenna from coursework based on his prior work, and his dissertation was producing a series of self-help tapes that eventually became a book, Change Your Life in Seven Days.

1999

In 1999, McKenna successfully sued both the Daily Star and National Enquirer for libel after they published articles that alleged that he had damaged the mental health of a man whom he hypnotised in one of his shows.

Both lawsuits resulted in six-figure settlements.

The man involved had sued McKenna in a previous trial, but the judge dismissed the suit after concluding that there was no evidence that McKenna's stage hypnosis posed any risk to those taking part.

2003

Discovery of this lack of accreditation prompted McKenna to obtain another PhD from Revans University in 2003.

2004

McKenna appeared on series 4, episode 2 of Top Gear to hypnotise presenter Richard Hammond in 2004.

2006

In 2006, McKenna successfully sued the Daily Mirror for libel over claims made by former TV critic Victor Lewis-Smith that McKenna's qualification from LaSalle was a purchased "bogus degree" bought with the intention of deliberately defrauding the public.

McKenna won the case, and the newspaper was ordered to pay £75,000 in costs.

The judge, Justice Eady, said that while the scholarly characterisation of the degree was "another matter", McKenna did not believe the degree was "bogus or that he [had] misled anyone in allowing himself to be referred to as a PhD."

2009

In October 2009 he was a guest on Private Passions, a music discussion programme on BBC Radio 3.

2014

From February 2014 to September 2015, McKenna hosted a talk show called McKenna, broadcast on Hulu and featuring "non-journalistic" interviews with Simon Cowell, Ryan Seacrest, Roger Moore, Rachael Ray, Tony Robbins and Richard Dawkins.

He became interested in hypnotism as a result of a guest who appeared on his show.

He was taught hypnosis by Richard Bandler, with whom he continued to work closely for many years.

While working at Capital Radio, McKenna began experimenting with small hypnosis shows in pubs and clubs, UK military bases and university events.

He then starred in a regular Sunday night show at the Duke of York's Theatre, which was owned at the time by Capital Radio.

The success of those shows led to his playing other theatres across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, the US, Australia and Hong Kong.

McKenna specialises in post-traumatic stress disorder, severe trauma, pain control and emotional overwhelm.

McKenna was also involved in a research study conducted by Neil Greenberg, professor of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, on military veterans’ health.

McKenna is the author of self-help and personal development books.

He has practiced one-to-one hypnotherapy on celebrity clients.

He helped Daryl Hannah cope with stage fright when she starred in The Seven Year Itch.

According to one of McKenna's books, Rob Brydon claimed that McKenna helped alleviate his fear of flying, Stephen Fry advocated for McKenna's weight loss strategies and David Walliams used McKenna to help with his swim across the English Channel.

McKenna focuses on teaching people how to "deprogramme" their sugar cravings, claiming "sugar is the most dangerous drug in the world".
