He worked with young children and teenagers (including children and teens diagnosed with conditions like ADHD and Autism) in residential children’s homes between 2000 and 2005 including helping to set up a therapeutic children’s home (involved in staff training and writing many of the companies policies and procedures, linking them with The Children’s Act and National Minimum Care Standards, and between 2007 and 2015 he worked extensively with parents and families including looking at the efficacy of using a Human Givens Approach to supporting parents to reduce their teens youth offending and anti-social behaviour. He has worked closely with and trained Social Workers, Troubled Families Workers, Family Link Workers, Family Intervention Project Workers, Parenting Support Workers, Family Resource Team Workers and Children’s Homes Staff. Dan focused heavily over these years on teaching and developing a programme (which he taught to other staff to be trainers of the programme and ran the programme with families) about teen to parent violence which is a rarely discussed yet common issue, and has trained staff in a variety of settings about managing challenging behaviour and conflict, breakaway techniques and stress management as well as holding classes for parents and families around parenting techniques and family relationships.

Hypnosis Bio:
Hypnosis is Dan Jones main passion, his mission is to demystify and advance the field of hypnosis and help hypnosis go mainstream and gain the acceptance it deserves.

Dan Jones set up the Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre in 2002 offering one to one hypnotherapy. By 2004 he was offering training in traditional hypnosis and indirect ‘covert’ conversational hypnosis based primarily on the works of Milton H Erickson MD.

By 2007 Dan was offering unique training and personal development courses and a diploma course, quickly these spread internationally and were also being held on-line as live interactive webinars. Dan was also offering Hypnotherapy via his Playstation 3 on Playstation Home using an avatar (virtual version of himself) and had been offering telephone therapy, but as internet speeds and connections increased he started to offer on-line hypnotic therapy via email, audio and video calls. As technology progressed, Dan also progressed, he created PsyEnTech (Psychological Enhancement Technologies) where he offered streaming webinars before the term had really become known or popular, he has created hundreds of hours of self-help products, written over 30 books and made hundreds of hours of videos for self-help and training. Dan Jones is highly knowledgeable on the works of Milton H Erickson MD and has an extensive library of Erickson’s works, his students works, and therapeutic approaches based on aspects of Erickson’s work.

Dan Jones has written a number of books on Hypnotherapy including Hypnotherapy Revealed: Introduction to Hypnotherapy, Hypnotherapy Revealed: The Ericksonian Approach and Hypnotherapy Revealed: Hypnotherapy Trance Scripts and contributed a chapter to the third edition of Professor Ursula James book Clinical Hypnosis Textbook.

Dan Jones has also created two Hypnotherapy tools Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Training Tool which is essentially a client profile generator so that students can practice how they would treat a range of random clients, and Hypnotherapy Script Creator which is a tool that allows a hypnotherapist to tick from a selection of options what comments best match their client and they then get a hypnotherapy script and treatment plan created tailored to the options they selected.

*’Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts’ book (paperback and Kindle versions) has been Amazon.co.uk number one best-seller in the categories of Hypnosis and of Hypnotherapy on many occasions.
