About Me

Darren Stamford is an experienced Cognitive and Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Clerkenwell, Central London, with approximately 20 years’ experience working with clients seeking psychological and behavioural change.

He practises at The Clerkenwell Group – City of London Hypnotherapy, providing face-to-face Cognitive Hypnotherapy from an established Central London practice.

Darren is Enhanced DBS checked and places a strong emphasis on professionalism, safeguarding, confidentiality and creating a safe and supportive environment for clients.

Over the past two decades, Darren has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and has developed an individualised approach that focuses on understanding each client’s own experience, language, goals and way of processing the world.

His work is supported by numerous five-star Google reviews, with clients frequently commenting on his professional, warm and reassuring manner and the calm environment of the practice.

Healthcare and Laboratory Experience

Before and alongside my therapeutic work, I developed extensive professional experience within the healthcare and laboratory sector, including approximately 15 years in senior account management.
This involved working with healthcare professionals and organisations, managing senior client relationships and communicating clinical, healthcare and product information clearly and responsibly.
That background has contributed to my understanding of the human impact of illness, treatment and significant changes in health.

Specialist Interests

I have a particular professional interest in:
  • The emotional and psychological effects of stroke
  • Neuroplasticity and post-stroke adaptation
  • Confidence and motivation during rehabilitation
  • Persistent pain and fear associated with movement
  • Emotional adjustment to illness, dialysis and major life events
  • The potential role of subconscious processes in supporting new patterns of thought and response
My aim is to help clients adapt, reconnect with their own resources and improve quality of life while working alongside appropriate medical and rehabilitation care.
