Meet Darren, My Journey and Why I Understand Your Struggle

After 25 years in mental health, supporting people in community and inpatient settings, I truly recognise how overwhelming life can become. I don't just speak as a therapist; I speak as someone who's been in exactly your shoes.

My name is Darren, and my own experience with chronic pain left me feeling frustrated, exhausted, and at a loss. Like many of my clients at Agile Change Therapy, I cycled through countless treatments, scans and professionals, hoping for a breakthrough. Some things helped, many things didn't and nothing lasted.

These days, I'm fortunate to enjoy a full and healthy life. I spend time training at the gym, kickboxing, and walking my beautiful Cocker Spaniel, Lottie. I cherish time with my family and feel truly privileged to support so many inspiring people as they rediscover their health, balance, and well-being.

 

 

 

 

 

Discovering the Power of Mind-Body Therapies and Creating Agile Change Therapy™

My turning point came when I discovered mind-body therapies, particularly Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). The science behind PRT showed me the astonishing power of the brain in creating and dissolving pain, a realisation that gave me my life back. For the first time, I found real, reliable strategies to retrain my brain and reduce my pain, anxiety, and low mood.

Out of my personal recovery and years of clinical work, I created Agile Change Therapy™: a practical, science-based blend of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Health Coaching, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy. This approach doesn't just chase symptoms; it helps you rewire negative neural patterns and break free from what's holding you back.

Life Beyond Pain: Finding Fulfilment and Helping Others Achieve Relief

Today, I live an active, fulfilling life. My weeks are filled with gym sessions, kickboxing and Thai boxing, learning new things, sharing good meals, and relaxing with my cocker spaniel, Lottie. The path to recovery was never easy or quick, but it was possible. Now, my purpose is to help you achieve the same kind of genuine, sustainable relief.

If you feel like nothing has worked, or you've lost hope, please know that change is possible. I'd be honoured to support you.

 

 

 

 

Why I Do This Work

Every day, I see people move from despair to relief, often when they thought nothing would help. This constant transformation inspires me. I do this work because I know, first-hand, what it's like to be stuck, and I also know the power of evidence-based hypnotherapy and mind-body techniques to provide real, lasting healing.

Answering Your Questions

What is Agile Change Therapy™?

Agile Change Therapy™ is a unique approach I developed after years of working in mental health and overcoming my own chronic pain. It blends three proven methods: Clinical Hypnotherapy, Health Coaching, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to create a powerful mind body program that helps you break free from unhelpful patterns, rewire your brain, and feel like yourself again.

How does Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) work?

PRT is a science backed approach that helps your brain reinterpret pain signals. Many types of chronic pain are caused by misfiring danger signals in the brain rather than structural damage. By teaching your brain to feel safe and calm, PRT can help reduce or even eliminate pain.

Can hypnotherapy really help with anxiety, pain, or low mood?

Yes, hypnotherapy is a proven method for reducing anxiety, managing pain, improving sleep, and boosting overall wellbeing. It works by guiding you into a relaxed, focused state where your subconscious mind is more open to positive change.

What can I expect during a session?

Each session is tailored to you. We start with a relaxed conversation to understand your goals and challenges. Then, depending on your needs, I use a combination of coaching, gentle mind body exercises, and hypnotherapy or PRT techniques to help you move forward. You will always be in control and fully aware during the session.

Do online sessions work as well as in person sessions?

Yes, and many clients find that online sessions are just as effective, if not better, than in person work. Here is why:

  1. Comfort and Relaxation at Home
    Being in your own familiar space often helps you feel more at ease, which is especially important for hypnotherapy or mind body work. When you feel safe and comfortable, you can relax more deeply and get the most out of each session.
  2. No Travel Stress
    You avoid the hassle of commuting, parking, or rushing to an appointment. This means you arrive feeling calm, with more mental energy and focus for the session.
  3. More Flexibility and Consistency
    Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule, wherever you are in the world. This flexibility helps you stay consistent, which is key for lasting change.
  4. Same Tools and Techniques
    Every technique I use, from Pain Reprocessing Therapy and health coaching to hypnosis, works perfectly online. I guide you step by step just as I would in person.
  5. Enhanced Privacy
    For many clients, being able to do a session from the privacy of their own home feels less intimidating and allows them to open up more easily.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your personal goals and challenges. Some clients notice real improvements after just 1 to 3 sessions, while others choose a longer program for deeper change. We will create a plan that suits your needs and pace.

Are your methods evidence based?

Yes. Agile Change Therapy™ combines techniques supported by modern neuroscience, psychology, and clinical studies. Pain Reprocessing Therapy, for example, is backed by research from leading pain experts and universities.

What issues do you help with?

I work with people who feel stuck, whether in their body, mind, or emotions. This includes chronic pain, anxiety, stress, low mood, confidence issues, and habits they want to break. My approach is also ideal for those who feel they have tried everything but have not yet found lasting results.

What if I have tried therapy or treatments before without success?

I understand. I was once in that same place. Agile Change Therapy™ was born out of my frustration with treatments that did not last. This approach combines only the techniques that truly work, giving you a structured yet flexible path to lasting change.

How do I get started?

You can book a free 20 minute discovery call or go straight to booking your first session online. I also offer downloadable hypnosis recordings and self help tools if you prefer to start at your own pace.

Do you offer digital products?

Yes. I have a growing library of hypnosis downloads, guided audio sessions, and PDF guides to help with issues like pain relief, anxiety reduction, better sleep, and confidence building.

Can you guarantee results?

While I cannot guarantee results as every person is unique, I can guarantee that I will use the best evidence based tools and my 25 years of expertise to help you achieve the change you are looking for. Most clients experience noticeable improvements when they commit to the process.
