- At Stephen Therapy, I work with adults experiencing a range of emotional and personal difficulties, using Clinical Hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), alongside techniques drawn from CBT, NLP and mindfulness
- My main areas of work include:
- • **Anxiety & Stress** – Supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, overthinking, stress or persistent tension, and helping them develop more helpful ways of responding
- • **Confidence & Self-Esteem** – Working with people experiencing self-doubt, low confidence, negative self-talk or difficulties believing in themselves
- • **Sleep & Insomnia** – Supporting people who struggle to switch off, have difficulty falling or staying asleep, or find that stress and overthinking interfere with their sleep
- • **Low Mood, Motivation & Feeling Stuck** – Helping people who feel they have lost direction or motivation, are procrastinating, or simply feel stuck and unable to move forward
- • **Workplace & Civil Service Stress** – Supporting people experiencing workplace pressure, stress, burnout, confidence difficulties or challenges associated with demanding working environments
- ### My Experience – 35 Years in the Civil Service
- Alongside my work as a therapist, I have worked within the Civil Service for over 35 years. During that time, I have worked closely with people facing a wide range of personal, employment and workplace challenges
- That experience gives me a particular understanding of the pressures that work can place on our confidence, emotional wellbeing and life outside work. It also led me to develop specialist support for Civil Servants and others experiencing workplace stress
- My approach is warm, practical and individual. Rather than assuming the same approach will work for everyone, I take time to understand what is happening for you and what you would like to change
- Sessions are available face-to-face in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and online throughout the UK. I also offer a free 20–30 minute initial call so you can ask questions, talk through what is happening and decide whether working together feels right for you

- In-Person Sessions

About Stephen James
I’m Stephen Stanton, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Practitioner based in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety and stress, low confidence and self-esteem, sleep and insomnia difficulties, low mood, lack of motivation, or simply feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward.
My approach is personal and collaborative. I combine Clinical Hypnotherapy and RTT with techniques drawn from CBT, NLP, mindfulness and other therapeutic approaches, depending on what is most appropriate for the individual.
Sessions give us time to explore what may be contributing to the way you currently think, feel or respond, and to begin developing healthier and more helpful patterns.
Alongside my therapy work, I have over 35 years’ experience working within the Civil Service. This gives me a particular understanding of workplace pressure, stress, confidence difficulties and burnout, and I offer specialist support in this area.
Sessions are available in person in Stockport and online across the UK.
I offer a free 20–30 minute initial call so that we can talk through what is happening, discuss how I work and decide whether working together feels right for you.
My Experience
I bring a unique blend of experience in mental health support, personal development, and hypnotherapy, shaped by my 34-year career at the Jobcentre (DWP) and my Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practice since 2021.
34 Years at the Jobcentre (DWP)For over three decades, I worked at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), where I supported individuals facing significant life challenges. My role involved:
✔ Helping individuals overcome anxiety, stress, and self-doubt related to employment and financial hardship.
✔ Guiding clients through career transitions, building confidence, and fostering resilience.
✔ Conducting mental health awareness workshops and offering practical solutions for workplace well-being.
✔ Supporting people with disabilities and mental health conditions, ensuring they had the right resources to move forward in their lives.
This experience gave me a deep understanding of human struggles, empowering me to provide compassionate, solution-focused support to my clients today.
RTT Practitioner (Since 2021)In 2021, I trained in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)—a powerful therapeutic approach that combines hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychotherapy to help clients achieve rapid breakthroughs.
✔ Specializing in Anxiety, Confidence, Stress, Phobias, and Personal Growth
✔ Helping clients reprogram limiting beliefs and remove mental barriers to success
✔ Using RTT & Hypnotherapy to create deep, lasting transformation
✔ Empowering individuals to regain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
By combining my DWP experience with RTT and Hypnotherapy, I offer a unique, holistic approach to personal growth, mental resilience, and emotional well-being.
