Imagine if …..
… your mind felt calmer….you could swap self-doubt for self-trust
….the overwhelm lifted, leaving you with more space to breathe and just be.
That’s what Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is all about looking ahead, rather than behind.
Using the latest research in neuroscience, it is a proven technique which supports you in taking back control of your life.
While your past experiences are fully acknowledged, the emphasis is on building a brighter future.
You’ll learn all about your brain, and what’s happening when things feel wrong.
You’ll also learn how to rewire those unhelpful thought patterns, reduce anxiety, and help you feel more in control.
It’s practical, positive, and designed to get your brain working for you.
What does it work for?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy doesn’t just help with anxiety and stress — it’s also very effective for sleep problems, building confidence and self-esteem, easing IBS and gut issues, supporting menopause, lifting low mood, calming negative thoughts, and overcoming fears or phobias.
The result?
Less stress, more clarity, better sleep and the confidence to move forward!
What’s involved in each session?
Our work starts with understanding how the brain works — and how it might be fuelling anxiety, anger, or low mood. Once you can see how change is possible, we set clear goals together.
Therapeutic hypnosis then helps embed new patterns in the brain and reinforce the positive steps you’re making.
Myth busting!
Hypnotherapy is often misunderstood, so it helps to clear up the myths.
Myth 1: It’s a kind of magic
Nope!
Although Solution Focused Hypnotherapy often works quicker than other therapies, there’s no magic wand.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process, and you’ll need to be ready to commit to do the work to make lasting change.
Myth 1: It’s mind control
No again…..
You’ll be in complete control the whole time.
Hypnosis is actually a very natural state that we all go into every day. It feels a bit like daydreaming — you’re deeply relaxed, but still totally aware of what’s going on and you could get up and walk away at any time. There’s no swinging pocket watch here!
Myth 3: There’s no talking involved
Again, nope!
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a combination of neuroscience, talking therapy, coaching and hypnosis.
It’s the combination of all these elements which make it so successful and powerful in making lasting positive change.
FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone’s different, so the number of sessions depends on what you want to change and how committed you are to doing the work.
On average, most people need around 8-12 sessions to see lasting, positive change but it could be more or less.
Phobias are often resolved in just 4 sessions, and the stop smoking session is a one-off, two-hour appointment.
We start with weekly sessions and can then space sessions out as you build in confidence, and see change happening.
What actually happens in hypnosis?
A hypnosis trance is really just a relaxed state of focused concentration. It’s a completely natural state and we all actually go into trance many times a day.
Have you ever had the experience of driving a familiar route and you realise you can’t remember the last bit of road? Or you’ve been so absorbed in a book or hobby that you don’t notice someone walking into the room? Welcome to the natural state of being in trance!
You will remain completely in control, in the same way as you would if someone cut in front of you on the road, or shouted your name as you were reading your book.
When you’re in a trance state, your mind becomes more open to suggestions. Hypnotherapy takes advantage of this state, enabling your mind to concentrate deeply and be more receptive to positive suggestions and change.
There is no swinging watch or stage malarkey here!
Does hypnotherapy always work?
No therapeutic model is guaranteed to work for everyone however the research for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is impressive and growing all the time.
Hypnotherapy is now listed in the NICE Guidelines as a recognised IBS therapy approach and you can read about a SFH study here
