John A O'Connor: Over 12 Years Helping Cork & Beyond
Welcome. If you are reading this, something has probably brought you to a point where you are ready to try something different. I have spent more than twelve years working with people who feel exactly that way: anxious, stuck, or exhausted by a pattern they cannot break on their own. My name is John A O'Connor. I am a clinical hypnotherapist based in Clonakilty, Co. Cork, and helping people move past what is holding them back is the work I find most meaningful.
I am an accredited member of the European Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (EAPH) and hold additional qualifications in cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (CBH) and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). I undertake regular continuing professional development to ensure my practice reflects the latest evidence-based methods.
I work with adults and teenagers on issues ranging from anxiety and phobias to smoking cessation, weight loss (SIMOS), and confidence. Every client I see receives my full attention and a programme built around their unique circumstances.
