Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
What is it?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a combination of various therapies and techniques:
-
SFH uses some elements and techniques from CBT. Examining your learnt behaviours, habits and thought patterns. ‘Cognitive’ focuses on the way you think, whereas ‘behaviour’ focuses on what you do. A healthy mindset is allowing your behaviours to influence your mood. Rather than your mood dictating your behaviour.
-
The conscious use of language to help change someone's thoughts and behaviour. It enhances self-awareness, communication and motivation. As well as making it easier to overcome psychological blocks and barriers.
-
The backbone of SFH. Understanding how and why you feel the way you do gives you control. We discuss the workings of the brain in the free initial consultation and recap this in sessions.
-
Hypnosis helps change unwanted and unhealthy beliefs and behaviours. It’s easier to use imagination, intuition, creativity and knowledge, in this state. Hypnosis enhances the positive psychotherapy work.
What is hypnosis?
A session is 60 minutes. The first 30-40 minutes is talking therapy, discussing where you are at that day, neuroscience, and goal setting. The last 20-30 minutes is a deeply relaxing hypnosis trance. This consolidates the talking therapy and calms the nervous system.
Hypnosis is a natural form of focused, selective attention. It’s a state of mind humans experience every day, even if we’re not aware of it. It’s just as effective online, as it is in-person.
Imagine you are driving a regular route. Sometimes you can’t remember the last few miles because you were “lost in thought”? That’s trance! It’s a normal state of mind. It is different from meditation. Meditation aims to silence the mind and focus on the present moment. Hypnosis is goal orientated, future visualisation, which increases theta brain wave activity. Theta brain waves stay active in trance, which are associated with focus and motivation.

Why is hypnotherapy different from traditional therapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on the future, not the past. Talking about the past can cause difficult emotions to resurface because the brain doesn’t distinguish between real events and imagination.
My approach is rooted in neuroscience. You will learn how your brain works and why it influences your emotions, habits and behaviours. We can use this knowledge to make lasting changes.
Sessions are scientific, logical, and practical, without ignoring the importance of emotions. Together, we’ll explore what you want from life and create small, achievable steps to help you get there.
