About Me

I’m Jake Ford, a depth psychology coach and clinical hypnotherapist based in York, UK, working online with clients worldwide. I work with people who may be struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, inner conflict, relationship difficulties, blocked creativity, or a sense that something in them wants to change but they can’t quite find the way through. My work is also for people drawn to personal development, self-understanding, and a deeper relationship with their own inner and outer life.

My approach is grounded in Psycho-Systems Analysis and Neurohypnoanalysis, a therapeutic model rooted in the traditions of depth psychology, hypnosis, and info-dynamic/psychodynamic work. I hold a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (Neurohypnoanalysis) from the Institute for Psycho-Systems Analysis (IPSA), where I trained under Steve and Pauline Richards, co-founders of Psycho-Systems Analysis and Neurohypnoanalysis. The model draws on the work of Carl Jung, Pierre Janet, Milton Erickson, Ernest Rossi, Anthony Stevens and others, while also developing its own original clinical approach.

I am also a registered member of the International Renaissance Psychotherapy Association (IRPA) in Psychodynamics, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Neurohypnoanalysis.

Before moving into this work, I spent years in very different settings: youth development work in the Sierra Nevada mountains, time living in New Zealand, and frontline NHS roles across surgical, medical, and emergency care. Those experiences continue to shape how I work: with groundedness, humanity, and respect for the reality of people’s lives and experiences.

Sessions are 90 minutes and held via Zoom. I offer one free introductory session, along with flexible payment options including a sliding scale and donation-based arrangements depending on your circumstances. The first step is simply a conversation or email. You don’t need to have everything neatly worked out before getting in touch. You can come as you are, and we can begin there.
