ABOUT

Alan Johnson

Not a guru. Doesn't do corporate. Will tell you if this isn't for you.

I founded Change Working in Northallerton. I'm an NLP Master Practitioner, psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and IEMT practitioner, and before all of that I was a mental health nurse. Around thirty years of sitting opposite people whose brains won't leave them alone.

I wrote Overthunk! Your Brain is Chatting Sh*t to You, which went to number one in NLP on Amazon. I host the That NLP Bloke podcast. I train NLP practitioners, run leadership programmes for organisations across the North, and still do the one-to-one work, because that's the bit that matters.

How I work

Direct. I'll tell you what I think rather than reflect your own words back at you for an hour. If I can't help, I'll say so on the first call rather than the fifth.

Nothing here requires you to believe in anything. You don't need to have done therapy before, or to be in crisis, or to know what's wrong. Most people arrive knowing only that something isn't right.
