Glenn Harrold

Glenn Harrold is a bestselling author, musician, and one of the UK's most respected clinical hypnotherapists.

With over two decades of one-to-one therapy experience and a rare gift for blending hypnotherapy with world-class audio production, Glenn has built a catalogue of recordings that have sold over 10 million copies, earning their place as the UK's best-selling self-help audio titles of all time.

His titles have also been streamed over 50 million times on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Insight Timer. 

Previously, his Complete Relaxation title held the Number 1 spot in the self-help audio chart for seven consecutive years and was awarded a Gold Disc from Nielsen Book Data for sales exceeding £250,000 - a testament to how deeply his work resonates with listeners.

In May 2011, Glenn was made a Fellow of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field.

From Punk Rocker to Pioneer

Glenn's path to hypnotherapy is anything but conventional. As a teenager, he played bass in a punk band, and in 1983, his group won £10,000 in the BBC1 Battle of the Bands, landing a major-label deal and TV appearances shortly after.

When the rock-and-roll lifestyle lost its shine, Glenn went searching for something more meaningful - and found his true calling in hypnotherapy. He began producing his first hypnosis tapes in the late 1990s, initially to support his therapy clients. Word spread fast.

"When I released my first tapes in 1997, I had no master plan other than a genuine desire to make the most effective tapes possible. Much to my delight and amazement, they sold well from the first day I put them into a local chemist store - I literally used to drive round selling them for a fiver a piece on sale or return!"

A Global Reach

Today, Glenn's work reaches millions of people worldwide through multiple platforms. His pay-as-you-go app, Relax & Sleep Well, has been downloaded over 5 million times, hit Number 1 in the lifestyle chart in over 50 countries, and has reached the top 5 in the USA.

Latest Book: Awaken and Ascend

Released in January 2026, Glenn's eighth book, Awaken and Ascend, is available now on Amazon. This book is part memoir, in which Glenn shares his personal journey from rebellion and addiction to clarity, purpose, and inner peace. His story reveals how a single moment of awakening can open the door to a completely different way of living. In the second part, he shares the tools that supported his transformation, refined over more than thirty years of spiritual practice and therapeutic experience.

It joins a celebrated back catalogue of titles published with Orion (UK) and McGraw-Hill (USA), including De-Stress Your Life, Look Young Live Longer, Lose Weight Now, Sleep Well Every Night, and The Answer.

"The most rewarding aspect of my work is the emails, phone calls and letters I receive from people all over the world who've been helped by using my recordings. It is an honour and a privilege to be doing this work - and I'm just getting started."
