I recently had a hypnotherapy session with John to help overcome my fear of public speaking, and it was an amazing experience. The session was incredibly calming, and I have felt some real shifts happening since. I left, feeling much more confident and, most importantly, no longer frightened of speaking in front of others. I highly recommend John to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life. His approach is professional, effective, and truly life-changing.

I really appreciated the extra insights John shared and support around my expressed personal limiting beliefs.
His Hypnotherapy style was warm, welcoming, joyous and therapeutic.
I will be leaving space today to allow that amazing journey you took me on, to percolate and facilitate change 🙂
With gratitude for your knowledge, intuition and time,
Fiona

John is AMAZING! Our session was brilliant, i felt safe and heard which is sometimes a struggle for me but I felt beyond safe and and supported to allow myself to follow John’s lead on where we needed to go with my therapy. As i am typing this i feel light, calm and free of a lot of negativity I had been carrying. If you are ready to face some parts of you or your life that are holding you back from any of your goals and all round wellbeing then sessions with John are highly recommended! 💚

I went to see John as an interest of mine to give something a try. John had a great intro conversation with me and allowed a lot of trust to come through me and gave me comfort knowing to just sit back and enjoy the process. In the hypnosis he spoke with so much clarity and intent that the words hit you in a deep and relaxing way with maximum effect. After leaving the appointment I had left with better energy, mood had shifted and he left me with something positive to walk away with. I appreciated this experience because it allowed me to soak in the experience and just be present and enjoy myself so thankyou John

Fantastic service! My sessions with John were perfect for my anxiety. I feel as though a weight has been lifted off of me since our sessions. I found the sessions to be professional, calming, and super productive. I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know.

What Is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress can develop after someone experiences or witnesses a deeply distressing event. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s the mind’s natural response to an event that felt unsafe or overwhelming.

People with PTSD may experience:

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks
  • Nightmares or sleep difficulties
  • Sudden panic or anxiety
  • Avoidance of certain people, places, or situations
  • Changes in mood, focus, or energy levels

These symptoms can be intense and unpredictable, often making life feel difficult to manage.

How Hypnotherapy Supports PTSD

Hypnotherapy offers a unique way to gently address trauma-related responses. It helps you access the part of your mind that reacts automatically—where triggers, fears, and emotional patterns are often held.

Many clients come to us after trying other forms of support. Through a safe and structured approach, hypnotherapy allows you to explore those reactions calmly and start building new responses.

Some clients say they experience more clarity, reduced emotional overwhelm, and an increased sense of calm after just a few sessions.

Pemberton Therapy

Our Approach to Supporting PTSD

Every session is adapted to your pace and comfort level. We never force you to revisit events or share anything you’re not ready to. Your safety, privacy, and consent are always prioritised.

Here’s what our process may include:

  • A gentle conversation to understand how trauma has affected you
  • Hypnotherapy techniques to support new emotional responses
  • Learning self-hypnosis for support between sessions
  • Working together to reduce the emotional intensity of triggers

We work alongside you, not above you—always with care and understanding.

Pemberton Therapy

What to Expect from Your Sessions

We begin with a free 15-minute phone conversation, where we listen without pressure. If you choose to proceed, you’ll attend calm, one-on-one sessions where:

  • You remain in full control at all times
  • We focus on comfort, connection, and your goals
  • You learn practical techniques to manage responses between sessions

There’s no need to “go back” or retell the trauma unless you want to. Our sessions are gentle and always guided by you.
