After more than 20 years in senior leadership roles within organisations including Avanade, Fujitsu and Capgemini, I became fascinated by why highly capable people sometimes struggle to perform at their best under pressure.
That question led me to develop Situational Hypnosis™ — a practical methodology designed to help people access confidence, clarity and control in the moments that matter most.
Today, I help professionals, leaders and high performers take control of their state so their performance reflects their true capability.

Client results
How clients perform differently in the moments that matter
“I had been struggling to find a new role at my level. I had lots of experience and was getting interviews for the roles I wanted. However, I wasn’t performing as well as I could in interviews, and after several rejections, my confidence was badly shaken. Working with Situational Hypnosis allowed me to turn up to my next interviews at my very best. I quickly received two great job offers and am now in a new role. I am using Situational Hypnosis for meetings and presentations and getting great feedback on my performance from colleagues and clients alike.”
CT, Fintech Marketing Director. London, UK
“Board meetings and presentations used to trigger a lot of internal pressure for me. Newly promoted and as the only woman on the board, I felt as if I was being judged badly. After working with Jonathan, I felt composed, focused and confident. The difference in how I showed up was immediate — and noticeable to others. I feel like my authority and influence are at a different level now. I can feel comfortable with any audience and can easily say what needs saying. I finally feel like I really am good enough and valued in my role.”
Jane M, VP of Application Delivery, Berkshire, UK
“What stood out was how practical this is. I didn’t just feel better when faced with a high-pressure event. I knew how to control my state in the moment. That changed how I approach high-pressure meetings completely. I am consistently closing deals now with the right clients. The fear has gone, clients react better to me, and I am confident that I will beat my growth targets. I am actually excited to give the next update to my investors!”

FAQ’s
-
No.
Situational Hypnosis™ is not traditional therapy, coaching or hypnotherapy.
It is a practical performance methodology designed to help you access the thoughts, emotions and behaviours required for success in specific situations.
Situational Hypnosis draws on principles from hypnosis, psychology and performance science, but the focus is not on analysing the past or exploring problems in depth.
The focus is on helping you develop greater control over your state so you can think more clearly, communicate more effectively and perform at your best when it matters most.
Whether that is an interview, presentation, negotiation, sales conversation, leadership challenge or difficult discussion, the goal is simple:
To help your performance consistently reflect your true capability.
-
presentations and public speaking
interviews and career progression
leadership situations
sales conversations and negotiations
difficult conversations
performing under pressure generally
-
This is designed so that you can learn this very quickly - in days or weeks, and see results from the first time you use the method.
-
No. The focus is on improving performance in the present and building greater control in key situations.
Some people naturally discuss confidence patterns or previous experiences, but this is not therapy; it is high-performance conditioning
-
Many clients are already highly capable and successful. The issue is not overall competence — it is performing consistently under pressure when the stakes feel high. Some clients are seeking ‘marginal gains’ where they can perform at their best even more often or ‘fine-tune’ certain aspects of how they perform when it matters.
-
Yes. This work is designed specifically for professionals operating in high-pressure environments where communication, confidence and composure directly affect outcomes.
I understand the pressures and needs of people in senior roles from my 20-plus years in senior leadership roles.
Clients can work one-to-one with me or in small, carefully selected groups.
-
Traditional coaching often focuses on strategy, accountability and awareness.
Situational Hypnosis™ focuses on helping you change your internal state and automatic responses in the moments that matter most.
-
That is completely fine.
Many people who work with this approach are analytical, practical and initially sceptical. The focus is not on belief — it is on whether the techniques help you perform more effectively in real situations. This is results oriented work.
-
Yes. Privacy and discretion are taken extremely seriously. This is a trusted relationship for senior people.
-
Yes. Situational Hypnosis™ can be taught to leadership teams, sales teams and professionals operating in high-pressure environments where performance and communication directly affect results.
-
The principles behind Situational Hypnosis™ apply to any environment where pressure affects performance.
That can include:
leadership and business
presentations and interviews
high-stakes conversations
public performance
elite sport and competition
The common factor is not the industry or activity itself, but the ability to remain calm, focused and effective when the pressure increases.
