Chris Harrison

You don't have to be falling apart for something to be wrong.

You may still be going to work, running your business, looking after your family and doing everything everyone expects of you.

From the outside, you look like you're coping.

But underneath?

Maybe you're exhausted. Constantly overthinking. Anxious. Irritable. Unable to switch off. Something from your past still has a grip on you. Or perhaps you've reached the point where you simply don't feel like yourself anymore.

That's the work I specialise in.

I'm Chris Harrison — The Mindset Maintenance Guy, Hypnotherapist & Coach and creator of Self-Care Focused Therapy.

I specialise in helping adults overcome:

• Burnout and chronic stress

• Trauma and PTSD

• Anxiety and panic

• Phobias and fears

• Confidence and performance issues

My approach is direct, practical and focused on helping you create change rather than keeping you in therapy indefinitely.

My aim is simple:

Help you get back in the driving seat of your own life.

I understand it from both sides of the chair

Before becoming a therapist and coach, I was a business owner myself.

Following my dad's death, PTSD and burnout eventually contributed to me losing my business, my marriage and much of the life I'd built.

For years, I was functioning — but I wasn't really living.

Getting the right help changed the direction of my life and eventually led me to train in therapy and coaching myself.

That experience influences the way I work today.

I understand how somebody can look perfectly capable from the outside while privately struggling underneath.

And I also understand something else:

You don't necessarily want to spend years talking about what's wrong. You want something to change.

What is Self-Care Focused Therapy?

I created Self-Care Focused Therapy (SFT) because I don't believe every person should be forced through exactly the same therapeutic process.

You're an individual.

Your therapy should be too.

SFT allows me to draw upon hypnotherapy, coaching and other change-work techniques according to the individual sitting in front of me and what we're actually trying to change.

Rather than simply managing how you feel, we look at the patterns and responses that are keeping the problem going and work towards changing them.

The method serves the person — not the other way around.

Is this you?

You might benefit from working with me if:

• You're successful or capable on paper but privately running on empty.

• You can't switch your brain off.

• Anxiety or overthinking is starting to control what you do.

• Something that happened months or even years ago still creates a powerful emotional response.

• A fear or phobia is restricting your life.

• You're becoming irritable, detached or exhausted and don't recognise yourself anymore.

• You've spent so long looking after everybody else that you've lost sight of yourself.

Or perhaps you're simply thinking:

"I can't carry on like this."

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before contacting me.

That's part of my job.

Where I work

I work face-to-face from Cannock, Staffordshire, with clients from Cannock, Hednesford and surrounding areas including Lichfield, Burntwood, Rugeley, Stafford and Wolverhampton.

I also work online with clients throughout the UK.

Start with a Complimentary Breakthrough Session

If you're unsure whether I can help, you don't need to commit to therapy to find out.

Start with a Complimentary Breakthrough Session.

It's approximately 30 minutes and gives us an opportunity to look at what's happening, what you'd like to change and whether I'm the right person to help you.

If I believe I can help, I'll explain what I'd recommend and why.

If I don't believe I'm the right person for you, I'll tell you that too.

No pressure. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about what needs to change and whether I can help you change it.

Complimentary Breakthrough Session — FREE

Not sure what you need or whether I'm the right person to help?

Start with a complimentary approximately 30-minute Breakthrough Session. We'll look at what's happening, what you'd like to change and whether I believe I can help.

Mindset Overhaul Programme — £699

My main programme for people who need more comprehensive support. This combines therapy and coaching to address what's keeping you stuck and help you create lasting change.

Focused Individual Sessions — £150

Not everybody needs the full programme. Where I believe a focused individual session is more appropriate, I'll recommend that instead.

I won't recommend more therapy than I believe you need. The Breakthrough Session allows us to work out the most appropriate way forward before you commit to anything.
