Calm Minds Counselling Hypnotherapy Stockport Cheshire, Stockport Cheshire

About me

Hello my name is Jonathan Lloyd and I am a therapist. I am qualified as both a counsellor and a hypnotherapist. I really enjoy working with people to help them get in touch with themselves and let go of some of the labels they have picked up in life. I work with all ages of clients and with a wide range of reasons for coming to see me. I appreciate it can be a bit daunting seeing anyone for the first time so why don’t you check me out on a video, which is on my website at www.calmminds.com. You can see that I am a very perfectly imperfect human too!

My approach & what to expect
I would like to think that you will be meeting a friendly ethical therapist who cares passionately about his profession and helping people. With some issues I will offer purely hypnotherapy ~ smoking and phobias for example, but there is always some ‘counselling’ involved in the initial stages. For other issues, such as depression counselling may be the most appropriate and sometimes I will offer a combination of counselling with some hypnosis for specific issues ~ weight loss and self esteem come to mind here. It’s very much driven by you and what you want out of therapy.

Areas of speciality
As I said above I deal with a wide range of human issues, and quite often the presenting issue isn’t what is underneath. However, with regard to hypnotherapy I do a lot of work with weight loss and phobias. I am recommended by the National Autistic Society as a counsellor. My MA was around how families cope and I also have an autistic son. I do work with the Alzheimers Society and the local MS Therapy centre. I have recently completed a stress management workshop for schools and businesses.

Opening times
I do work a couple of evenings per week, although they get booked up quickly. I am more flexible during the day and I do the occasional Saturday morning clinic. This is my full-time job, so I can usually fit you in without a significant delay.
