About Jeff
Jeff Hutchens is a counsellor who combines hypnosis with talking therapy to help people make change. He uses hypnotherapy alongside conversational approaches to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and strengthen confidence. Jeff works in English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and on discovering personal strengths.
Background and approach
Jeff listens closely and tailors each meeting to the person's goals and pace. His approach blends client-centred techniques with elements from cognitive behavioural work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That mix is used to spot unhelpful thinking, practise new responses, and build acceptance around difficult feelings.
Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool to support relaxation and focused change when appropriate. Jeff draws on seven years of practice in counselling, hypnotherapy, coaching, and related work. He mentions experience with anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction issues, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and other concerns.
He also lists additional areas such as body image, chronic illness, parenting strain and career matters. He holds the credential NCPS and frames his role around helping people release inner resources and continue to grow after therapy. The overall aim is to support practical progress and greater well-being in everyday life.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Jeff offers hypnotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of his online work. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access calmer states and support changes in habits or reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.The right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. Jeff listens to what matters, discusses options and adapts methods to fit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can be combined or adjusted as therapy continues.
Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports shorter, flexible contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a steady therapeutic process.
