My name is Jonathan Elliott. I am a professionally qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I had been a school teacher for well over twenty years, before deciding to retrain as a psychotherapist and therapeutic hypnotherapist.

I started teaching within primary education before advancing on to teaching within high schools. I have spent the last 10 years of my teaching-career teaching within the specialised field of ‘alternative provision’ teaching. I have taught within an alternative provision, educational setting where, unfortunately, all the students suffer from stress and anxiety related mental health issues. It was at this point that I realised how important good mental health was, and how the life of a child within education can be so seriously and catastrophically affected by the inability to cope with simple aspects of every-day life!

Within my time in education, I have seen many of my teacher colleagues also succumb to the evils of work-related stress and the anxieties and mental health complexities that can occur, and how these can cause even an educated adult to fail to deal with the rigours of life. Stress in the home and at work can lead to poor life choices which affects mental health.

As a result of my experiences within alternative provision schools, I decided that I had a real interest within the application of mental health. I decided to study and retrain with CPHT – a nationally recognised leader within hypnotherapy training – within the campus at Trinity and All Saints University, Leeds. 

My training was comprehensive and the best at providing hands on practise of practical hypnotherapy. From day one of my training, I was practising trance work with my fellow students. From day two, our tutors encouraged us to do hypnotherapy trance work with friends and family! The result was that we all became confident within our hypnotherapy practice very quickly, and thus very skilled within our interpretation of consultation and diagnosis.

My knowledge of mental health issues is all encompassing, and I can treat a range of complexities that are possibly affecting your life. Whatever the issue is, take that first step towards a more rewarding life - the life you deserve - and contact us so that we can help you make that difference within your life.
