City Hypnosis was founded to make powerful, lasting change possible by unlocking the hidden potential of the subconscious mind.
The journey began when Aaron Surtees, Founder and Clinical Director, was first introduced to meditation at the age of 11. While most children were learning their times tables, Aaron was learning how the mind could be calmed, trained, and healed. This early experience sparked a lifelong passion for understanding human behaviour and using the mind as a tool for deep and lasting transformation.
Over the past decades, Aaron and his team at City Hypnosis have helped people overcome trauma, addiction, fears, phobias, imposter syndrome, and deeply ingrained limiting beliefs, supporting clients through some of the most challenging and defining periods of their lives.
Aaron Surtees is widely recognised as one of the UK’s most trusted and recommended hypnotherapists, and one of the most frequently featured experts in the media. His work and insights have been showcased across major platforms including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, The Telegraph, and national press, where he is regularly consulted on the future of hypnotherapy and mental wellbeing.
He is the creator of The Surtees Method, a results-driven approach that combines modern hypnotherapy techniques with deep subconscious work to support rapid, lasting change. Aaron is also the author of the best-selling book Subconsciously: Powerful Stories of Lives Changed, which shares real-life transformations drawn directly from his clinical work.
Over the course of his career, Aaron has worked with more than 30,000 clients, including high-profile individuals such as Robert Pattinson, Ant McPartlin, and singer Perrie Edwards, alongside founders, senior executives, international sports stars, and city professionals. His specialist areas include anxiety, depression, phobias, confidence and self-worth issues, addictions, and the many internal challenges that prevent people from reaching their full potential.
Aaron is also the founder of Subconsciously, one of the world’s most personalised and effective hypnosis apps, created during lockdown to make proven hypnotherapy accessible on a global scale. His broader mission is to help establish Subconsciously as a leading digital platform for mental wellbeing, contributing to solutions for what he sees as a growing global mental health crisis.
At the heart of Aaron’s work is a clear and enduring purpose: to help people regain control of their minds, experience lasting emotional freedom, and live calmer, happier, and more fulfilling lives.
