A place to talk.
A place to understand.
A place to change.
John Taylor — Psychotherapist & Clinical Hypnotherapist
Helping people understand what is happening, change unhelpful patterns and feel more at ease in themselves.
You don’t have to be in crisis to come to therapy.
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there’s a clear problem you want help with. Sometimes something has happened and you’re struggling to move beyond it. And sometimes it’s simply a feeling that life isn’t quite how you’d like it to be.
You don’t need to arrive knowing what kind of therapy you need. You don’t even have to have everything figured out.
We can start with a conversation.

Hello, I’m John.
I’m a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist, and I’ve been working therapeutically with people for more than a decade.
My approach is warm, practical and down-to-earth. Therapy with me is a conversation. We can explore what is happening, understand how you got here and look for practical ways of helping things become different.
I don’t believe in forcing everybody through the same therapeutic method. Different problems — and different people — need different things.

Initial conversation
We’ll talk briefly about what is happening, what you would like to change and whether I’m the right person to help.
A tailored approach
We agree an approach based around you rather than trying to fit you into a predetermined programme.
Start making change
We work at a pace that feels appropriate, reviewing what is changing and adapting our work where necessary.
“I felt very safe and relaxed during my sessions with John — he has a very soothing voice — and would have no hesitation in booking more sessions with him if I needed to.”
