John Thornley PhD ADHP(NC) MNRHP FNCSAG UKCP(H)
John has also been a full practicing member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) since 1998 and in other registers since 1994.
John's original training and first degree was in physics and the engineering sciences, having been a designer in electronic systems and an engineering physicist for over ten years. He has had extensive experience of thriving in both the corporate and academic worlds and frequently adds these perspectives and his extensive experience to help those in similar environments right now. In late 1989 John began studying for his doctorate at Loughborough University in AI and intelligent design in mechatronics, which he attained early in March 1993.
A major change in direction lead to John retraining extensively with the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy to DHP level between 1994 and 1996 and was a fully registered member of the National Register of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists (NRHP) from early 1996 until December 2004. In 2001 he attained ADHP. John has also served on the then Governing Council of the NRHP.
Since 1996, John began training in other modalities including Rational Emotive Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K), psychoanalysis, hypnoanalysis & regression. He continues to add to his knowledge through “Continuing Professional Development”; something which is expected of UKCP and NRHP therapists. John practices to the NRHP, NCSAG and UKCP guidelines andn supervises therapists to the same guidelines.

In 2004 John left the NRHP to join the now sadly non-existent National Hypnopsychotherapy Council, and served as a member of their Executive Committee.
John is an experienced and effective therapist, and has completed extensive training and accrued the experience which leads to registration as a psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). He has extended his competence into a broader integrative approach which results in a therapeutic toolbox much more adaptable to the client than only a single axis of therapy can offer.
As a Full Member of the NRHP, a fellow of NCSAG, John adheres to the NRHP’s and NCSAG's Code of Ethics and Practice. He offers both short-term, solution focussed and long-term work, and accepts both GP and self-referrals. He also offers professional supervision and employee assistance support (EAP).
