Meet Jonathan

Helping you heal, grow, and feel like yourself again

If you have tried to think your way out of stress, pain, or unhelpful habits but nothing seems to stick, you're not alone. I help people who feel stuck break unwanted habits, reduce stress, and sleep better so they can feel calm, clear, and confident again. My work focuses on the subconscious patterns that keep the mind and body in survival mode, using neuroscience-informed hypnotherapy to create real and lasting change.

I am Jonathan, a clinical hypnotherapist and former headteacher, with a background in medical science and psychoneuroimmunology.

I bring a structured, results-focused approach that helps clients create meaningful change safely and effectively.

For almost two decades I worked in education, guiding others through challenge and change, and I saw first-hand how stress and emotional strain affect both body and mind. That experience led me to specialise in hypnotherapy that goes beyond symptom relief to reach the root of the problem and rewire it for good.

My sessions combine the precision of science with the depth of therapeutic insight, helping clients understand what has been driving their issue and how to release it. You will also receive a personalised audio to reinforce the new pathways we create together, supporting continued progress after the session.

Clients describe my sessions as calm, focused, and deeply effective. This work is not about quick fixes. It is about creating genuine, lasting change so you can think clearly, feel lighter, and move through life with confidence.

Why Hypnotherapy?

Because change does not need to take years.

Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious, where beliefs, habits and emotional patterns are formed.

When we work at that level, change becomes natural, meaningful and lasting.

Transformation begins where logic alone cannot reach.

What Shapes My Approach

From Education to Therapy: Calm Under Pressure

For 18 years I taught, led teams, and supported families in real-world pressure. I know how it feels to carry responsibility while trying to stay calm and present.

You get a therapist who understands busy lives, competing demands, and the need for practical tools you can use straight away.

Grounded in Science. Focused on Your Mind and Body.

My approach combines science with subconscious transformation. I hold a degree in Medical Microbiology and Immunology with specialist study in psychoneuroimmunology, the science of how thoughts and emotions affect the body. This knowledge supports practical therapeutic work that calms the nervous system, shifts unhelpful patterns, and brings mind and body back into balance. It is particularly valuable for stress, burnout, chronic pain, and gut-related issues.

I’ve Been There. Now I Help You Through It.

I know what it feels like to appear fine on the surface yet feel disconnected inside. That personal experience ensures my work is grounded, empathetic, and practical. You will feel safe and supported while we address the deeper patterns keeping you stuck. The aim is clear progress you can feel in everyday life; more ease, less noise, and a stronger sense of control.

World-Class Training. Real-World Results.

As a certified RTT® practitioner, trained personally by Marisa Peer, and with further training in intensive CBT, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, I bring together proven methods from several disciplines. The focus is always on what works best for you. We target the root cause, create lasting change, and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Change can be simpler than you think
