Hypnotherapist in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
A Practical, Structured Approach to Change
You may be dealing with anxiety, a phobia, an unwanted habit, low self-worth, or patterns that have been there for years. You might feel stuck, off track, or tired of managing things without real progress.
This work focuses on more than coping. It also looks at why the difficulty is there and what's keeping it going, so that change can happen in a way that actually makes sense for you.
For a lot of people, this shows up in ordinary ways: the worry that quietens, the fear that no longer makes the decisions, sleep that comes a little easier, or simply feeling less like life is something to manage and more like it’s yours again.
People Come to Me With…
People get in touch about all sorts of things — sometimes one clear issue, sometimes a few that have built up over time. Often it's something like:
- Worry or "what if" thinking that won't switch off
- Health worries that are hard to put down
- Panic that seems to come from nowhere
- A specific fear or phobia — flying, driving, the dentist, needles, or being sick
- Low confidence, or a sense of not being good enough
- Trouble sleeping
- Stress that's tipped over into feeling burnt out
- The physical side of stress — IBS, a churning stomach, a clenched jaw, or needing the loo constantly
- A habit that feels hard to stop on your own
- The weight of difficult or painful past experiences, including from childhood
If what's bothering you isn't on this list, that's fine — these are just some of the more common reasons people get in touch. If it's affecting how you live, it's worth a conversation.
How I Work
Sessions are tailored for you—your goals, your pace, and your experiences—within a clear and thoughtful way of working.

I work in a practical and structured way, helping you make sense of what’s happening and identify where change is most likely to come from. The approach is collaborative, with space to go at a pace that feels manageable.
The aim isn’t just to understand the problem, but to change how it actually feels to live with day to day.
Sessions are available online or in person (Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire).
With over two decades in practice, the way I work has been shaped by ongoing training and, importantly, by what has consistently been helpful for clients in real situations.
What I Offer
I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by patterns that haven’t budged no matter what they’ve tried.
My approach brings together:
- Hypnotherapy – working with underlying patterns and responses
- Psychotherapy – making sense of thoughts, emotions, and past experiences
- Coaching – creating direction, structure, and forward movement
- Trauma-informed approaches – working in a way that prioritises emotional safety, pace, and what is appropriate for you
Sessions are adapted to what’s needed at the time, while maintaining a clear focus on where change is most likely to come from. This is particularly important when working with more complex or long-standing difficulties - such as childhood trauma - where flexibility and attention to detail matter.
A Note on Hypnotherapy
If you've never tried hypnotherapy before, it's worth knowing what it actually involves — because it's often not what people expect.
Hypnosis is a natural, focused state — similar to being deeply absorbed in something. You remain aware and in control throughout. Nothing happens without your agreement, and you can't be made to say or do anything you wouldn't choose to.
It has nothing to do with stage hypnosis or what you might have seen on television. Clinical hypnotherapy is a calm, collaborative process — and most people find it surprisingly straightforward, and also very relaxing once they experience it.
Sessions are confidential and take place in a quiet, private setting. If you're attending online, the same applies — the space is yours.
If you have questions before you decide, the free consultation is a good place to ask them.

Experience shows in the detail — in recognising patterns quickly, knowing when to adjust the approach, and taking seriously that some difficulties are heavy or long-standing. You won't get theory for its own sake. You'll get someone who pays attention to what's actually in front of them, and who works with care and responsibility.
"Jason is fantastic at what he does and has the required amount of empathy to help you work through the issues you are dealing with" Annemarie T.
"I'd been scared to leave the house and in constant fight-or-flight mode — driving anxiety, not sleeping, IBS triggered by anxiety. My symptoms have significantly reduced. I'm going out more and even drove home in the dark and felt calm… I have got my life back and can't thank him enough."
