Jason O’Callaghan, 50, gave up his career as a gossip columnist to become a hypnotist
A hypnotist and self-proclaimed “Irish Derren Brown” who was once a journalist making £1,000 a week now earns £1,000 an hour helping his clients lose weight, give up smoking and overcome their fears.
After having to work long hours seven days a week, Jason decided to quit and do an undergraduate degree and master’s degree in psychology, becoming fascinated with hypnotherapy and how it can help people with issues such as mental health and obesity. Jason told PA Real Life: “I hypnotise people by repeating certain words or phrases and they get in a relaxed state – I’m like an Irish Derren Brown.
Jason decided to enter the music and events industry as he had built up many celebrity contacts, including Pierce Brosnan, B*Witched and Boyzone. He has also been featured on This Morning and has helped a lot of people throughout the UK with weight loss and quitting smoking through hypnotherapy. To date, Jason thinks his most memorable client was when he helped a groom, who feared flying, get on an aeroplane to go on his honeymoon.
He said: “Some of the most common things I do is take away people’s ability to read, take away their ability to speak, so we give them the tongue of a cow or a camel, and we get them to ride invisible horses.
