Henry Johnstone

Henry Johnstone is a trauma-informed hypnotherapist whose clinical work centres on narcissistic abuse recovery, CPTSD, shadow work, and helping clients navigate the complex world of their subconscious mind and trauma with clarity and ease.

His practice is grounded in deep psychological understanding and the transformative power of reframing internal narratives  a foundation that shapes everything he brings to the stage as a mental health keynote speaker, podcaster, and author.

Known for his powerful lived experience and his ability to make complex inner worlds feel relatable, Henry’s talks explore how the subconscious mind holds the stories we haven’t yet been able to tell  and how those stories can be rewritten into strength, agency, and self-respect. He blends therapeutic insight with a rare honesty, inviting audiences into a deeper understanding of trauma, identity, neurodiversity, and emotional resilience.

Lived Experience as Expertise

Henry’s credibility comes not only from his training but from surviving the realities he now helps others understand. His lived experience includes ADHD, bipolar, OCD, anxiety, addiction, narcissistic abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm. He knows what it means to be sectioned, homeless, addicted, overwhelmed, and at war with himself  and he uses this history as a source of compassion and truth.

This blend of clinical knowledge and lived insight allows him to speak with clarity, depth, and relatability to corporate teams, leaders, clinicians, educators, and frontline staff. Henry has a rare ability to turn his own extreme experiences into shared commonality, helping audiences feel seen within their own stories — not just his.
