Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling in Skipton and surrounding areas

Please visit the main website at thinkingfree.co.uk for information on full range of services and therapies.

My Skipton Clinic is based at the Craven Clinic, ideally situated just off the High Street in the town centre.

The Wellness Centre is located towards the northern end of the High Street just off the roundabout by Holy Trinity Church. I recommend parking at the Skipton High Street car park and walking the short walk back to the clinic. The Clinic is easily accessible by foot from Skipton, within easy driving distance from Ilkley, Keighley, Settle and Colne areas, and from further afield by train. The clinic and consultation room here is accessible for wheelchairs.

Anxiety & Stress

Stress and anxiety are a completely natural part of us, but when left unchecked can cause significant distress and health problems. Through hypnotherapy, we can explore stress triggers and help develop new responses.

Addictive Behaviour

Addictive behaviours (drinking, binge-eating, substance abuse, etc.) can be an attempt to cope with distressing events or feelings. Hypnotherapy can explore the roots of such behaviours and find less harmful of coping.

Depression

Hypnotherapy for depression can help you to understand and reframe the impact of past events, helping a person to understand the underlying causes of depression and work towards developing effective coping behaviours.

Smoking Cessation

We are all aware of the dangers of smoking, yet it can sometimes be difficult to stop through willpower alone. A single session of hypnotherapy is usually enough, although in some cases a few sessions will be necessary.

Weight Loss

Although I do not have a magic wand to make you lose weight, hypnotherapy could help you to make significant changes in your eating habits and relationship with food to achieve long-term weight loss and achieve your goals.

Virtual Gastric Band

Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy 'suggests' to your subconscious that an actual gastric band has been fitted. This is of course totally pain free and followed by further sessions to reinforce positive habits and behaviours.

Who I Am & What I Do

My name is John Taylor. I am a CNHC registered hypnotherapist, psychotherapist and counsellor working from clinics in Skipton, and also online. I run THINKING FREE which contains much more information about hypnotherapy and the various conditions it could help you with. If you have never had hypnotherapy before, it is probably not what you think! There is no mind control involved and I cannot make you do anything you do not want to do. Hypnotherapy is not magic and cannot promise a quick fix - but it can and often does provide surprisingly fast results.

Therapy works differently for each person, so number of sessions can vary depending on the issue and individual. My promise to you is to help you to achieve those changes you want to make as quickly as possible, in an environment of respect and safety. If you live in Skipton or the surrounding areas and are interested in hypnotherapy, please get in touch with me to find out more.

Client Testimonials

A selection of recent client feedback, shared with permission.

  • "I said l wouldn't shout from the rooftops until I'm sure...I'm sure and shouting from the rooftops!!! I had BWRT in January and although I felt as if something had happened,l couldn't know until now. I have just stood in a neighbours garden while dozens of pigeons were called into their hut. I didn't flinch.l didn't feel anxious. In fact l didn't feel anything!!! In the past,l have jumped into roads as a bird flew out from under a bridge, l have slammed my brakes on when a moth woke up as l set off in the car...and many more stories of 'freaking out' Sorry for the long speech...but l am so excited...l am cured of a lifelong phobia!!!!!"

    K.W., Skipton

  • "I have had several amazing Skype therapy sessions with John and each time I have felt a significant shift and change for the better. 12 years ago I experienced a traumatic birth of my son and had not slept as well as I used to since. Always feeling on "alert". After BWRT for the issue with John I can now relax more easily and sleep more peacefully. Thank you John you're a great therapist."

    M.G., Lancashire

  • "Thanks again for the session last week, I can't tell you how much more relaxed and calm I'm feeling."

    J., Yorkshire

  • "I visited hypnotherapist John Taylor. With no specific requirements but keen to find out more, I had a hypnotherapy relaxation session. In a chair opposite John, I closed my eyes and drifted away as his gentle voice lulled me into a very relaxed state during which he encouraged me to visualise myself in a happy and reaffirming place- the beach! It was indeed deeply relaxing and I felt serene and uplifted afterwards."

    Lizzy, Aspire Magazine

  • "Hi John, Just thought I'd email to let you know how I'm getting on. Everything's going really well! All the anxiety I had has gone it's been amazing. Thanks so much for all your help, I feel like a new person."

    D.W., Skipton

  • "I felt very safe and relaxed during my sessions with John - he has a very soothing voice - and would have no hesitation in booking more sessions with him if I needed to."

    P.C., Skipton

  • "I was very lucky to find John up in the Yorkshire Dales. During my weekly sessions, he was able to encourage me to relax and think about how I managed my life. Afterwards, I felt refreshed and fully equipped to respond to day to day challenges that I faced. I found John to be very polite and professional at all times."

    S.B., Skipton
