Why Choose Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a proven, powerful approach that helps individuals overcome a wide range of challenges—many of which are made worse by stress. It is a natural and therapeutic approach that combines the principles of psychotherapy and hypnosis to guide you towards solutions, rather than dwelling on problems. It encourages you to recognize and appreciate the positive moments in your life, even the small ones we often overlook. By focusing on these positives, you activate the prefrontal cortex—the part of your brain responsible for thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Once engaged, this part of your brain helps you identify your strengths, past successes, and resources. This shift in perspective empowers you to change the way you think, opening up new possibilities for growth. The process is client-led; you are the expert on your own life. As your hypnotherapist, I act as a supportive guide—providing insights, understanding, and practical tools—while you discover your own solutions. This approach is why Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is so effective: it emphasizes your own opinions, experiences, and inner wisdom.

Using the latest neuroscience, I explain in simple terms how your brain works and why you might be feeling the way you do. When you understand the underlying reasons for your feelings, and how to make positive changes, you’re better equipped to focus on solutions. By harnessing the brain’s natural ability to adapt and change, you can create meaningful, lasting improvements in your mental well-being, achieve your personal goals, and enjoy a more fulfilling life.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is safe. It is considered a natural and therapeutic alternative to address stress related conditions. 

Whilst in a hypnotic state, clients are in a deep relaxation and heightened focus to facilitate positive change, but remain aware of their surroundings, and remain in control at all times. Clients can hear, talk and come out of relaxation any time if they wish to do so. 

Is hypnotherapy like what I see in a pub on a Saturday night or tv for entertainment purposes?

No! Solution focused hypnotherapy is nothing like what you see on television or in a pub on a Saturday night.

I cannot make you do anything you don't want to do. I cannot make you bark like a dog or cluck like a chicken. You won't tell me all your deep dark secrets and there won't be a pocket watch in sight.

Throughout the hypnosis, you can choose to keep your eyes open if you wish, although many clients find it more relaxing to close their eyes. I will read a series of language patterns which are aimed to access both the conscious and subconscious mind as they come together in focus. This makes hypnosis a powerful tool for fostering positive change, whilst addressing issues such as anxiety, phobias, improving habits such as smoking/vaping, and even weight loss.
