This approach is all about finding solutions instead of dwelling on the problem. By blending hypnosis with positivity, it helps by focusing on present and future goals rather than past problems.
The good news is that you don’t have to accept anxiety as a permanent part of your life. Hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool to help you effectively manage anxiety and foster positive changes from within.
Anxiety is a completely normal reaction that our body experiences when it perceives a threat to our survival. It’s actually a useful mechanism to keep us safe. When our brain detects a threat, it triggers the release of hormones that prepare us to either fight, flee, or freeze.
This response is great in situations where we are truly in danger, but it becomes problematic when anxiety starts interfering with our daily lives, preventing us from living the life we desire. Long-term stress can often lead to anxiety, and we might start labelling ourselves as “anxious individuals” or “chronic worriers.”
But it’s important to remember that anxiety is not who we are; it’s merely a survival mechanism. So, if you’re looking for help with anxiety and stress, solution-focused hypnotherapy may be the breakthrough you’re seeking.
You may approach hypnotherapy for driving anxiety, or think about hypnosis for fear of flying. A sports hypnotherapist may help you with performance related issues, or perhaps you need to seek hypnotherapy for an eating disorder?
The strength of working with a solution focused hypnotherapist is that we will work together to empower you to tap into your own resources and solutions, guiding your mind to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. With gentle relaxation and visualization, we will unlock your subconscious strength and make lasting, positive changes. It’s your journey, rediscover your own strength within.
Sessions for individuals can be face to face in my comfortable therapy room near Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire or online depending on your preference.
I am Jon Skelton, a Mental Skills Coach & Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with mission to empower individuals, young and old, and I invite you to join me on this incredible journey toward realising your potential. Your success story begins right here, right now.

I've been working with Jon for several months now and it has led to a significant improvement on the quality of my thoughts, my interactions and my activity levels. Jon is patient, encouraging and understanding. I see Jon's mind coaching as a long term strategy to be where I want in my business and personal life and look forward to working with him for years to come.

Asking for help from a therapist could be embarrassing.You feel like you are not like the rest of the people because there is something “wrong” with you, but Jonathan’s non-judgmental attitude and joyful nature puts you at ease. I had a mice and rats phobia which was seriously affecting my life.After each encounter with those little creatures my phobia grew to the point that I was crying out loud for half an hour, shaking uncontrollably , heart racing like crazy, straggling for air and nearly losing consciousness. I felt that if I don’t do something I will die from a heart attack or suffocation in my next encounter with the furry creatures. Someone suggested that I get a rat for a pet and that way I would start even like them. Even the thought of being in close proximity to them made me feel shaky. So I started looking for some kind of therapy to make me cope with that situation and I found Jonathan. To be honest I was skeptical at first, but by our second or third session I wasn’t feeling scared anymore when seeing a mice or rats on TV. And even after we finish the therapy I felt like everything will go back to the way it was in the moment I have an encounter with them. One month after the therapy a saw a big rat jumping around the yard.To my surprise I didn’t run away with uncontrollable crying and shaking.I just sat were I was and felt disgusted by it, but also curious - is it a male or female, is it browsing around for a food to feed the little ones or looking for a new home for the winter. Then I cried, but this time feeling relieved, feeling gratitude towards that wonderful therapist who helped me overcome that phobia and saved my life( if not literally at list the quality of it). My only regret is that I waited too long to look for a help.If I knew it would be that easy to get rid of my phobia I would have done it sooner. Thank you Jonathan! May God grant you a long and happy life, so you can help many more people like me. Georgina Baker2024-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. To put this bluntly Jon is an absolute legend! I want to say thank you first before giving my review as it is entirely necessary to thank you for everything. The positivity that you have helped me, help myself to put into my life is more than I could have asked for. The learning and invaluable time and effort we have both put in over the last few months has been essential to help me to control my own thinking. This is entirely down to your kindness, patience, depth of knowledge and down to earth attitude. If you didn’t question me every session and push me to rethink my negative approach it wouldn't have happened! If you are thinking of calling or messaging this man for help please do it.. reaching for the phone is the hardest part, as he told me right at the beginning of my journey! I am now taking everything I have learned, methods taught and learned from Jon into practise in my daily life and I am a much happier person for it. I genuinely can say I will be recommending to anyone I may come across who may need his help in the future. Thank you so much again! James H2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Jon has not only been transformative for my mental health, it equipped me with the tools I needed to see things from a fresh perspective and reprioritise in life. If like me you have no experience with hypnotherapy, don’t let the “hypno” put you off. Jon is a lovely, normal down-to-earth bloke, who cultivates a calm and safe space. I had some initial apprehension and skepticism, but it was nothing but a positive experience. No weirdness and no woo. Thoroughly recommend. emily jones2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed my sessions with Jon, as they really helped me understand my anxiety more and therefore I was able to control it. This has led to me feeling happier within myself and has enabled me to accomplish more with my time so thankyou Jon! Robert Scott2024-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Jon at Balance your Brain for help after two unsuccessful job interviews. Through a combination of coaching and hypnotherapy, Jon's positive and patient approach has awoken my self belief. I am confident for the next job interview but, not only that, I am now facing up positively to other challenges in my personal and professional life. This has been a game changer! Thanks to Balance your Brain, I have learnt to fight back against the negative thoughts and I am happier and healthier as a result. I now have great strategies for future success. Thank you!

Changed my life as to how I look at it in my previous mind Fully recommend, he is an absolute inspiration in redirecting what you THINK is correct !! Chloe Head2024-03-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been vaping for the last 2 years and over that period I have periodically tried everything that I could possibly think of to try and stop but nothing worked and invariably I would start up again. A friend had recommended Jonathan to me, so out of sheer desperation I thought I would give it a shot. Frankly it was the best thing I could have done, my appointment was three weeks ago today and thankfully I have not touched a vape since, which is all down to the session I had with Jonathan. He is a calming, caring, personable chap, who is clearly very good at his job and I would highly recommend that anyone goes to see him if they are struggling with addiction or mental health issues as he has helped me enormously and I am throughly grateful to him for that. Lynsey Cook2024-02-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jon helped me so much with managing stress levels. He is extremely professional and put me at ease. After our sessions I felt like a weight was lifted 😊 I highly recommend Jon! Beth Redfern2024-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
