About Dr John Barry
Many people want a therapy that is effective, safe and fast-acting, and those are the three things that first inspired my interest in hypnotherapy.
I qualified as a hypnotherapist in 1999 and have become a chartered psychologist, author and academic researcher since then.
In that time I’ve helped hundreds of people in London – and more recently Suffolk – with issues such as anxiety, relationships, and stopping smoking.
Over the years I have come to specialise in two main areas: men’s mental health and psychological aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and I have authored, co-authored and edited psychology textbooks on these two topics. Much of my research has been published in peer-reviewed academic journal articles, including my hypnotherapy-based treatment for relationship problems, and my deep relaxation therapy for women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
I work with other issues too, and you can contact me for a free initial phone consultation to discuss how I might be able to help you.
What is Hypnotherapy and what problems can it help with?
Hypnotherapy is a safe, rapid and effective way to help with problems. It is also generally a pleasant experience, which people sometimes describe as similar to daydreaming.
I specialise in two areas – men’s mental health and psychological aspects of PCOS – but I take on adults with all kinds of problems. The most common issues people seek my help for these days are stress or anxiety, relationships, and stopping smoking. (You can find further information about hypnotherapy on my website).

Price and length of session
Sessions usually last 55 minutes and most people need only a few sessions to resolve their problems.
To stop smoking takes just one session lasting two hours.
Most sessions are £100, or £250 for the one-stop smoking session (two hours).

Testimonials
“John helped me before a high stakes medical school entry exam, as well as offering insights and strategies regarding hormone management in relation to PCOS and general stress. I have since gained a place at medical school and am thrilled that the process was so much less stressful than I’d anticipated. I would recommend and return to him without hesitation”

“6 months after our hypnotherapy session (well, one day short) and I have not had a cigarette nor, indeed, have I had an inclination for one. I only wish I had come to you years before I did”
Kevin, London
“I have found working with John extremely beneficial to my general well being. I originally got in touch whilst experiencing a period of severe stress and anxiety related issues. I had tried hypnotherapy in the past, to varying degrees of success, but John’s approach to hypnotherapy mixed with talking therapy has been very effective. I feel I have made genuine, sustainable progress and would recommend John’s services highly.”
Nick, London
