How RTT® Supports Lasting Change
​
RTT® (Rapid Transformational Therapy®) is a powerful hybrid of hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP, and psychotherapy. By working at the subconscious level, RTT helps us uncover and reframe emotional triggers that drive addictive behaviour. You also receive a hypnosis audio, which you’ll listen to daily for 3-4 weeks, reinforcing new, healthier beliefs.
We are honest: while RTT® is a powerful tool to support change, we don’t claim it’s a “cure”, our approach works as part of a fully integrated therapy programme, treating both the conscious and subconscious mind.
​
The Benefits of Our Integrated Approach

-
Root-cause healing, not just symptom and behavioural management.

-
Aftercare support to help you sustain momentum even when the formal programme ends.

So what do the people we've helped say about us .......
"Please if you are looking at this page wondering to make the step absolutely reach out. John does not judge - HE UNDERSTANDS, HE GETS IT! HE IS PROUD OF YOUR FIRST STEPS!! I was so scared I almost lost everything but those first steps are the biggest and the hardest. My hardest step was admitting the problem, John helped me find out the cause which was work and I made changes by getting a new job whilst addressing alcoholism. You also need to talk - don't keep a secret - my friends and family have all been so supportive!! The new job led to even more positive things and I am now working for my life long loved Company. Dr Shyra led me down this path for sure - if you believe in yourself a positive journey not only will make you feel better than the old you but dreams really do come true!! Stop doubting yourself and reach out to John and Dr Shyra. Please ask for my contact details if you want to chat - I know how hard it is but its so worth it - life is too short - Alcohol is the enemy - FAMILY is EVERYTHING". Rach xx (Sept 2024)
