Who Can Benefit from Mental Skills Sessions?
For athletes, whether competitive or amateur who regularly engage in sports competitions and are in Essex, my sessions can be tailored for you.
Overcoming performance anxiety in sports
Maybe you have mental blocks in gymnastics or you can’t quite reach the level you keep striving for in athletics. Whatever the sport or issue together we’ll focus on acquiring long-lasting mental skills and performance techniques. This involves developing strategies, setting tactical goals, establishing targets, and maintaining a season-long focus. We’ll also identify specific mental skills to address and conquer existing performance challenges.
People in business wanting to increase their performance or who have performance-related issues that significantly impact their ability to succeed can also benefit greatly. These issues often revolve around anxiety, emotional control, perfectionism, or social comparison. My coaching is dedicated to helping you address and conquer these specific challenges.
Sessions for individuals can be face to face in my comfortable therapy room near Essex or online depending on your preference.
How It Works
I typically recommend a series of 5 or 6 sessions. These sessions are strategically spaced out over fortnightly intervals, allowing ample time for practice and the completion of any assigned homework. Or if an elite athlete, I provide ongoing support, stepping in when needed, especially in response to specific issues or upcoming competitive events.
My Approach
In my role as a mental skills coach, I employ an extensive approach, drawing from a diverse range of theories and techniques from various areas of psychology. This approach enables me to create a personalised and holistic strategy to enhance mental performance.
Cost: £75 - £85 per session (packages available).
Your journey to achieving performance excellence in business and sport begins here in Essex, where mental skills are the key to unlocking your true potential. Don’t let mental barriers hold you back from achieving your performance goals. Join me in this transformative journey, where victory is not just about physical prowess but also the mastery of your own mind.

Beth Redfern2024-01-29I highly recommend working with Jon of Balance Your Brain. I found his combination of coaching and hypnotherapy hugely helpful in dealing with some unexpected stressful events and was really impressed at just how quickly things changed with his help. As well as being great at what he does, he’s also really professional and very nice. He immediately put me at my ease and I felt very comfortable talking to him. Thank you Jon!
Finn Hewlett2024-01-02I went to Jon when I was in a bad place. And I have suffered from anxiety in the past. I think opening up as much as possible is the best way to achieve the best results in therapy. In the first couple of sessions i wasn’t being completely honest with Jon or myself. But as soon as I began to open up and be completely honest I then started to receive the information that was needed in order for me get over these negative thoughts and emotions. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone who is going through a bad period, or even if they feel they may be going down the wrong path in life. Jon helped me to understand my brain and the processes it can go through that can either send you down a negative spiral of thoughts and emotions. But the same way it can do this, it can be done in a positive way as well. Highly recommend.
Caroline2023-10-30We went to Jon as my daughter age 9 has been battling some fears/mental blocks in gymnastics with backwards tumbling. My daughter felt at ease with Jon and could talk and explain her feelings even though she struggles with communicating. Jon has built up her confidence, she is now believing in herself and backward tumbling is making progress.
Jane Harden2023-10-28Jon was brilliant can not praise enough, been a smoker for 30 years and tried many time to stop, this time with Jon's help it has worked 7 weeks now ! 😀
Jessica Easley2023-09-30I searched up hypnotherapy and anxiety to look for help for my son. Up came Jon! My son hated school and was starting GCSEs and I thought Jon may help to get him through the last few months. He was amazing! He totally understood a 16 yr old mind and how he felt. My son could really open up and talk to Jon, he looked forward to every session and came out a more positive happier child. Jon taught him to turn situations around and override the negative thoughts. His advice has now helped him pass 8 GCSEs and has settled into 6th form so easily and made new friends with his new found confidence. I can’t thank Jon enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. If you need help contact him you won’t regret it!
Rich Brassett2023-09-06My sessions with Jon were always really insightful and his thoroughness and way of explaining things helped me to really uncover certain issues that we then worked on. I would highly recommend speaking with Jon, i've seen significant growth in myself.
James2023-06-22I have struggled a lot over the years with negative thinking and severe anxiety. Jonn has really helped me deal with these issues and re train my way of thinking to the point were I now no longer feel the aniexty at all. His a true gentleman and can't thank him enough.
Alex Green2023-06-14Jon has helped me immensely with my career and performance. I can't thank him enough for all his help so far.
april clarke2023-06-06Jon was an amazing Hypnotherapist. He helped massively with my anxiety and allowed me to think positively about situations which made me more motivated and overall happier. Thank you so much Jon, I very much recommend Jon to anyone struggling.
Lucy Skelton2023-05-26Client testimonial. “Full disclosure, I’m Jon’s wife. But as anyone knows, your family can give you a much harder time than anyone else, so my husband really had his work cut out with me! Anyone who knows me, will tell you that I hate flying. Since I was a kid, I’ve hated flying. I’ve tried so many ways to cope; medication, copious amounts of alcohol, fear-of-flying courses, clinging to aircraft staff & family for dear life and shear avoidance…it’s safe to say, I’ve got the t-shirt. And Jon’s had to put up with my vast array of ‘techniques’ for the past 20 years! Jon suggested trying out some hypnotherapy on me. I’ll hold my hands up, I was sceptical; not because I didn’t he was good at what he does or that hypnotherapy doesn’t work, I just thought…it’s weird, you’re my husband…and I’ve tried everything already! This is just me, it’ll never go away. So fast forward to this photo. This is me on a plane during take off, returning from Edinburgh this weekend. I’m listening to my hypnotherapy recording (my husband is in my ear!) and I’m in happy-land. I never thought this would be possible. I’ve gone from being unable to sleep before a flight and stressing about every tiny detail of the journey (the packing, the ride to the airport, literally everything)…to gliding through security, browsing the shops and even sleeping on a plane! I couldn’t eat 24hrs before I flew (regularly vomiting in the toilets before boarding, through nerves). I can now can eat on a plane. Yesterday I even ate lunch before I got on the plane. That’s huge! My longest running coping strategy was alcohol. Although I felt like it worked, it really didn’t. I would be anxious & stressed about getting drunk enough before my flight (speeding everyone through security as quickly as possible to get to a bar). Trust me there’s nothing glamorous about drinking vodka at 8am with your kids in tow. It also ruined the beginning of my holiday; I’d often not remember the landing airport, left bags on planes and spent the first day of my holiday in bed royally hungover. My fear of flying genuinely stopped me from living my life how I wanted to. I would turn down trips or change the destination to avoid a long flight or a flight at all. I now can’t wait for my next holiday. It’s safe to say, it’s changed my life and my family’s. If you feel how I used to about flying (or any fear for that matter), give Jon a try…it could change everything for you.”
