What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy comes in many forms, and I specialize in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, a powerful combination of Psychotherapy and Hypnosis designed to create lasting, positive change.

Unlike traditional therapies that delve into past experiences, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is future-oriented. It helps you focus on where you are now and what you want to achieve rather than analyzing past difficulties.

How Does Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Work?

Each session consists of two key parts:

1. Solution-Focused Talking Therapy

The first half of the session is a structured conversation where I draw on techniques from:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Psychotherapy
Positive Psychology
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

I help you shift your mindset, build confidence, and develop practical solutions. Together, we identify a small, achievable goal for the week ahead. We reflect on your progress in the next session and adjust the approach to fit your evolving needs.

2. Relaxing Hypnosis (Trance State)

The second half of the session involves guided hypnosis, a natural state of focused attention often referred to as a trance state. During this deeply relaxing experience, offer therapeutic suggestions to help retrain your mind, promote positive thinking, and support behavioural changes.

Hypnosis is a safe, enjoyable process that enhances clarity and motivation, making it easier to move confidently toward one’s goals confidently.

Why Choose Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

Empowering & Collaborative – You take an active role in your transformation
Positive & Future-Focused – Focus on solutions, not problems
Science-Backed Approach – Uses evidence-based techniques from psychology

If you’re ready to make meaningful changes in your life, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can help you build a healthier mindset and confidently move forward.

How Hypnotherapy Transforms the Brain and Enhances Well-Being

Hypnotherapy isn’t just a relaxation technique—it’s a scientifically backed method that positively alters brain function. Research using EEG (electroencephalography), PET (positron emission tomography), and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) has demonstrated distinct changes in brain activity during hypnosis. These studies show that hypnosis can:

Shift perspective by processing images, language, and solutions in a new way
Reduce self-consciousness and overthinking
Enhance emotional control and resilience
Lessen worry and stress responses

Why People Turn to Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of concerns, helping individuals achieve better mental well-being and personal growth. It is particularly effective for:

General anxiety & stress management
Performance anxiety & confidence building
Weight management & emotional eating
Fear of public speaking & overcoming phobias

Due to its proven effectiveness, Hypnotherapy is becoming more widely accepted in mainstream healthcare. Many GPs, consultants, and dietitians now recommend it as a complementary therapy.

A Supplementary Therapy, Not a Replacement for Medical Treatment

While hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for change, it is not a quick fix or a substitute for medical treatment. Instead, it can be used alongside other therapeutic approaches to enhance overall well-being.
