Hi, I’m Dr John Kenneth Pates. I am a hypnotherapist who uses Ericksonian hypnosis, performance psychology, and advanced psychotherapy.
I specialise in working with high-performing professionals, but I am also deeply committed to helping individuals from all walks of life. Whether you’re struggling with stress and anxiety, low confidence, depression, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I’m here to support you. Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful approach that can help you build resilience, reduce overwhelming emotions, and unlock your inner potential. Combined with advanced psychotherapy techniques, it’s also effective for improving sleep, overcoming fears, breaking unwanted habits, managing pain, and cultivating focus and motivation. As a PhD holder with extensive research in hypnosis and numerous publications in the field, I bring a deep understanding of its transformative potential. My methods are grounded in science and backed by years of experience, ensuring you receive a safe, supportive, and effective pathway to meaningful and lasting change.
My work is centred on creating a compassionate space where you feel truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of your challenges and empower you to achieve greater balance, confidence, and well-being. Whatever your goals, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. By combining hypnotherapy with advanced psychotherapy, I provide powerful, customised solutions to address a broad range of issues, empowering people from all walks of life to overcome their challenges.
Hypnotherapy is a versatile therapeutic approach that utilises guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic tool that harnesses the subconscious mind to address psychological, emotional, and behavioural challenges. The subconscious mind, which governs up to 95% of human behaviour, plays a crucial role in shaping thoughts, emotions, habits, and decision-making. By working directly with the subconscious, hypnotherapy enables profound and lasting changes in ways that traditional therapies alone may not achieve.
When integrated with psychotherapy, hypnotherapy becomes even more impactful, addressing deep-seated patterns that affect well-being and daily functioning. At Dr John’s Hypnotherapy Clinic, clients experience a powerful combination of hypnotherapy and advanced psychotherapy designed to create lasting transformations.
At Dr John’s Hypnotherapy Clinic, he will empower you to overcome your challenges and live a life more fulfilling.
