About me

Before becoming a Hypnotherapist, I was a senior manager in local government where I gained more than 25 years of experience managing, developing and coaching individuals and teams. I am passionate about helping people to help themselves and to improve their well-being and quality of life.

I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Coach, based at Evesham Natural Health Centre in Worcestershire and at Great Alne Park,  near Alcester in Warwickshire. I can also see clients online using Zoom if that is more convenient for them.

I provide hypnotherapy sessions for individual clients and for small groups to help them to live happier and more satisfying lives. You may be a busy professional, a home maker, a student or work in a small business. You may feel anxious, or stressed, or experience unwanted patterns in the way that you think, or feel or behave. You may be aware of the need to change, and importantly have the motivation to do something about it.

If you do, I would love to meet you and work with you, in a confidential, and professional manner, in order to help you to achieve the change that you want. On most occasions, although not every time, our session will involve hypnosis, as well as a number of therapeutic suggestions, techniques and approaches.

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of focussed attention, normally accompanied by feelings of deep relaxation. In hypnosis you are not asleep, just in a different and more receptive state of awareness. You remain fully in control and fully aware and most clients find this to be a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. Your subconscious mind will be able to accept positive thought and ideas more easily.

Training, qualifications & experience

Jo Hand, BA (Hons), D.Hyp, HPD

I trained at Central England College of Clinical Hypnosis where I obtained my Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and I started "Jo Hand - Hypnotherapy & Coaching" in 2014.

I am an Accredited Member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy MNCH (Acc) where I obtained my Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma HPD (NCH).  I also help to run the NCH Local Peer Group in Worcestershire & Warwickshire.

I am an Accredited Member of the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy MAPHP (Acc).

I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

I abide by the standards and codes of ethics of these professional associations, so you can be assured of a confidential and quality service. In addition these associations provide opportunities for Continuing Professional Development and networking. I will always be up to date with the latest developments, for the benefit of my clients.

I am self employed and I normally work from two locations - Evesham Natural Health Centre (ENHC) and The Medical Centre, Great Alne Park (GAP).  I can also see clients online if that is more convenient for them.
