Hypnotherapy Counselling in Southwark, London
John uses brief solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy, and his daily practice is informed by the Human Givens approach to mental health and wellbeing.
How long would you like to be in the dark, telling me how dark it is? When shall we look for the light? Each of us is born with a powerful set of tools which we use to seek out and satisfy our needs for emotional nourishment. If those needs are being met in healthy, balanced and sustainable ways it is very much easier to maintain good emotional health. However, if that guidance system is not properly programmed, or if it has been damaged in some way, perhaps through trauma or poor skills development, it will be difficult to build a firm foundation for emotional well-being. Really good therapy will address those issues, quickly.

Therapy offers an important step in discovering the world around us and finding our place in it. For some people, coming to therapy is a big step. It can take courage to identify a need to heal, recover or progress. My approach aims to ensure that you feel safe in the knowledge that you can trust the therapeutic process. Maintaining the core values of empathy, unconditional positive regard for you as well as congruence (being authentic), I also use other modes of therapy.

I studied for over 15 years in Bioenergetics, Counselling, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), Relational and Psychosexual relationship therapies and run a private practice in South London.
It is not uncommon at some point in our lives to feel stuck or disempowered and to experience a sense of uncertainty, loss or despair with emotions that seem difficult to process. It is part of the therapeutic process to help us understand why events and emotions impact the way we see and experience life, affecting our relationships with others and with ourselves. Therapy provides a safe and grounding space to explore behaviours or beliefs, possibly rooted in early life experiences, and how these may still affect how we feel, think and react today.

I offer a warm, integrative approach that blends emotional exploration, nervous system regulation, and hypnotherapy.
Life looks fine on the outside, but inside, something feels unsettled-like you're quietly unravelling. Maybe you feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or weighed down by a sense that something isn’t quite right. You've coped for a long time, but part of you knows there’s more beneath the surface. You long to feel calm, clear, and connected to yourself again-to feel safe enough to slow down, make space for your emotions, and begin to understand what they’re trying to tell you. In fact you're ready for meaningful change-something that lasts. So you can stop just getting by.. and start building a life that actually feels like yours.

Hypnotherapy Counsellors
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a film, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behaviour change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognising a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself, so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotised. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotised may not respond to the technique because of their scepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviours like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
