Dan Jones Background
Dan Jones has worked therapeutically with a wide range of client groups since 1997. Between 1997 and 2000 he worked with adults with mental health problems (schizophrenia, manic depression, OCD, etc) within a residential setting. He worked with young children and teenagers (including children and teens diagnosed with conditions like ADHD and Autism) in residential children's homes between 2000 and 2005 including helping to set up a therapeutic children's home, and since 2007 he has worked extensively with parents and families including looking at the efficacy of using a Human Givens Approach to supporting parents to reduce their teens youth offending and anti-social behaviour. He has worked closely with and trained Social Workers, Troubled Families Workers, Family Link Workers, Family Intervention Project Workers, Parenting Support Workers, Family Resource Team Workers and Children's Homes Staff. Dan Jones regularly teaches a programme about teen to parent violence which is a rarely discussed yet common issue, and has trained staff in a variety of settings about managing challenging behaviour and conflict, breakaway techniques and stress management as well as holding classes for parents and families around parenting techniques and family relationships.

Dan Jones has worked with the Youth Offending Service offering parenting support, Family Intervention Project offering support to families and managing a team of family support staff, and with a Troubled Families Team offering support to families and managing a team of family support staff, as well as offering training to a charity organisation's family support staff.

Dan Jones has written many books on hypnosis and therapy including two books on family support 'Human Givens Approach to Working with Parents of Challenging Teens' which is aimed at professionals working with parents and families, and 'Parenting Techniques That Work' which is a short direct book getting to the point about what is most likely to work when parenting children and teenagers with challenging behaviour, ADHD and Asperger's. The book covered strategies for getting children to fall asleep at night, boundary setting, managing anger, and a number of other key issues. He has also written books of stories to help children fall asleep and relax.

Having Asperger's Syndrome gives Dan a unique perspective on social communication and his work with families.

Dan Jones has been interviewed a number of times for audio interviews and interviews for websites, newspapers, magazines and journals.
