You know what
you're capable of.
So what's stopping you?
The block isn't fear of failure. It's fear of being seen failing. That distinction, found at the root, not managed at the surface, is exactly where the work begins.

Forged. Not Fixed.
RTT · Conversational Hypnotherapy
No scripts. No fluff. Just real change.
01
Athletes & Active People (Sports)
The physio says healed. The block is still there. Fear of injury recurring. Going in half-hearted. The ceiling that rises exactly when it counts. Training doesn't touch this. Therapy does.
02
Professionals/Business
Executives, salespeople, leaders who've lost their edge. The presentation that falls apart in the boardroom. Sharp people on the wrong floor. Your team is getting a diluted version. That changes.
03
Life & Personal
You can't name what changed. You just know the version of yourself you used to be had more access, to confidence, to connection, to yourself. This isn't a phase. This is a pattern that can be cleared.
The root
It's not what you think it is.
"The block isn't fear of failure.
It's fear of being seen failing."
The threat isn't the performance. It's the exposure. The audience. The room. The panel. The camera. The colleague watching. What if they see me fall short. What if they confirm what I've been afraid is true. What if I'm found out.
That fear, often completely unconscious, will undermine a performance that your skill level could handle with ease. Because the unconscious will do whatever it takes to avoid the threat. Even if the threat isn't real. Even if the audience isn't dangerous.
It learned that visibility is unsafe. And it's been protecting you accordingly, often for years, sometimes for decades.
The work isn't about managing that fear. It's about finding when you learned it. And updating it.
Not transformation into something new. Restoration. Return to what was already there.
Real results
Case studies.
Not testimonials.
These are real people with real blocks. What they had in common: they came in sceptical. They left without the thing that had been running them.
Sport · Rugby
Bobby, 18
"Everything clicked. I was just pure, relaxed playing rugby. I was in my flow state."
Tackled someone and damaged his shoulder. Physio said healed. The fear stayed. He started going in half-hearted to tackles, which in rugby is actually more dangerous. Felt like he was letting his teammates down. Came in thinking it was going to be a waste of his time.
One RTT session · 21-day recording · Making more tackles on his bad shoulder · Teammates say they can rely on him again
Sport · Sea Kayaking
Steve
"It solved an issue that had been affecting me for years."
Fear of capsizing in rough water. Experienced, technically competent. The fear had been affecting him for years. Sceptical going in. He had a six-day expedition in rough weather on the horizon, the expedition he'd trained years to reach.
Two sessions before departure · Confident and present throughout · Enjoyed every day of the expedition
Life · Anxiety
Charlotte, 17
"She just seems a different person."
Fiona, Charlotte's mum
A year of panic attacks. Confidence had dropped severely. Staying in her room. Couldn't stay at work, calling her mum crying, saying she couldn't breathe. Couldn't tell anyone what was wrong because she genuinely didn't know.
She isn't a different person. She's the same person. The block is gone.
One 90-minute RTT session · No panic attacks since · Back at work · Back in the world
The Phoenix Method
Four steps. No scripts. Real change.
01
Find it
RTT goes underneath the presenting block to the root belief. The moment it was formed. The conclusion that was drawn. Not the symptom, the origin.
02
Clear it
Update the belief at the level it was set. In the unconscious mind. Not affirmations. Not willpower. Root cause work, the only thing that lasts.
03
Break the loop
Conversational Hypnotherapy continues in every session after. No formal induction. No scripts. Direct therapeutic conversation that reinforces the new belief and interrupts the old pattern.
04
Return
Not transformation into something new. Restoration. Back to what was always there before the protection was put in place. That's where we're going.

Martial arts
30+ years. Academy owner for 20+
Based
Paisley, Scotland
I spent more than 30 years on the mats. Ran my own martial arts academy for over 20 of them. In that time I watched hundreds of people walk in carrying something they couldn't name, a hesitation, a ceiling, a version of themselves they couldn't quite access, and I watched what happened when they did the work to
shift it.
That's what led me to RTT and Advanced Conversational Hypnotherapy. Not because I was looking for a new career. Because I wanted the most precise tool available for going to the root of what's running a person, and changing it at that level.
Bruce Lee said the individual is more important than any established style. That runs through everything I do. There are no scripts here. No frameworks applied blindly. I go to where your block actually lives — not where the textbook says it should be.
RTT, developed by Marisa Peer, goes directly into the subconscious mind to find the root belief, the moment it was formed, the conclusion drawn. Advanced Conversational Hypnotherapy, trained under Scott Jansen, continues that work in real-time therapeutic conversation. No formal induction. No hypnotic theatre. Just direct, precise work at the level that actually creates change.
If you've tried everything else and nothing has stuck, that's usually because everything else was working at the level of the symptom. The Phoenix Method works at the level of the root. That's the difference.

Success Stories
Just finished my final session with John McKean & honestly guys, for anyone out there who struggles with anxiety, negative mindset, low self esteem or self doubt - I highly recommend getting in touch with him
I initially went to John for RTT hypnosis & it was so powerful. Before I went to session I was just a terrified wee lassie stuck inside a grown woman’s body, which I had been for years. That session really helped me dive deep into past experiences where I felt stuck and changed my perception of them & began healing.............
So i’ve waited nearly two weeks since my session with John to write this review.
I wanted to wait and write a true account of the therapy session i received. i’ve suffered with anxiety, feeling sad, ruminative thoughts and lack of confidence ( although people don’t think that) over a long number of years and have had two different therapies with little change.
i knew John as he was my kick-boxing instructor and i trusted that he would hopefully be able to help me. I had the 90 minute RTT session with hypnotherapy.....
Wow, just wow. Me, being a guy who can’t sit still for more than 2 minutes, never mind, relax for more than an hour. I was very sceptical about whether this was for me or not, and boy, I am glad I went for it! I lacked confidence, and I was a bit apprehensive going into this session, but I’m so glad I did; John was great and so professional from start to finish. After 2 minutes of meeting John and starting my session, I sat down and relaxed...
