About Simon

I'm Simon.
Here's where I'm coming from.

Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Coach and author. A Christian.
Someone who takes the trust people give him seriously.

My story

I haven't taken the straight road.
Most people haven't.

I don't believe people should be reduced to the worst thing that's happened to them, or the habits they've struggled to change. There's more to every story than that, including yours.

My working life has been anything but a straight line. My career has spanned different industries, predominantly financial services and sales, with a spell working abroad in Thailand along the way. Some of those jobs were at the bottom of the ladder. Some were in senior management.

That mix taught me as much as any course. I've sat across the desk from a lot of people under pressure, at every level, and I know how long people can keep going, keep smiling and keep coping before they finally admit something needs to change.

Today I work one-to-one with adults dealing with Anxiety, Overthinking, low Confidence, difficult relationships and habits they can't shift. Clients tend to call me direct. One described me as "a gentle big brother", and I'll take that.

I've never stopped learning. Alongside my qualifications I've studied Ho'oponopono and Chakra Vitality Flow, and before any of that, music technology. I write my own Hypnosis tracks and music, using AI alongside my own experience, and I'm composing Salt, an ambient album for the Salt Room at Pure Salt Therapy in Doncaster. I'm also learning British Sign Language: I've passed Level 1 and Level 2 is next.

I don't have all the answers, and I won't pretend to. What I do promise is to take you seriously and tell you the truth with kindness.

Faith, openly held

I'm a Christian, and I'm not going to hide that part of my story.

I've always believed in God, but if I'm honest, that belief came and went. When I lost my Mum and my Grandad in 2024, it went altogether.

After a divorce and a difficult year, I was in a dark place. Early in 2026, my eldest daughter asked me to go to church with her. I went, and I prayed. I sought the Lord, and He heard, and He answered. I was baptised that same year.

I'm not the finished article. I have flaws, scars and a past I'm not fully proud of, and I still miss the mark every day. But I have a peace now that I've never felt before, and I try to meet every challenge as a chance to trust Him more. It's also why I believe no one should be written off.

You don't need to share my faith to work with me. I'm simply open about who I am. Where it's appropriate, and where you'd welcome it, I'm glad to bring prayer and scripture in alongside the practical tools I've trained in. Where you'd rather not, we leave it there.

Simon Taylor, thinking quietly

How I work

Practical change, made personal.

My BTC Method™ (Blended Therapeutic Change) draws on Hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, DBT, Gestalt, EMDR training and Coaching. The focus is practical: understand what keeps happening, choose a more useful response and practise it in everyday life.
Everyone is different, so no particular outcome is guaranteed.

  1. 01

    We talk first

    A free consultation. You tell me what's going on, I tell you honestly whether I can help. No pressure, no hard sell.

  2. 02

    We find the pattern

    We look at what keeps happening underneath the problem: the trigger, the response and what keeps the loop going.

  3. 03

    We change it

    Then we use the right tools for you. That might be Hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT-informed work, Coaching, or a mix.

  4. 04

    You leave with a plan

    You'll know what to practise between sessions and how to keep it going when real life gets busy.

The Little Book of Big Changes

I wrote it for people who want something they can actually use. Short chapters, plain language and practical ideas about the words we use with ourselves and other people, and how to change them.

Client words

“Really easy to talk with and some very practical easy steps to make big differences.”
Matthew, Doncaster

If you've been carrying this a while, let's talk.

My diary is full at the moment, so free consultations are running as a waiting list for my next intake of clients. Tell me what's going on and I'll be in touch personally as soon as a space opens.
