Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, forward-looking approach. Rather than going over the past in detail, we focus on where you’d like to be and the small steps that can help you get there.

Many people come to hypnotherapy after trying other approaches that haven’t quite fitted, or have left them feeling stuck. If that’s you, you’re very welcome here. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers a different way in, focusing on where you’d like to be rather than going over what’s already been explored.

What a session involves

Each session has two parts. First, we use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: talking about what’s been going well, what you’d like to be different, and what a good week might look like. Then comes guided relaxation in hypnosis, where I use positive suggestions to help calm the mind and reduce stress.

Where it helps, I’ll also explain what we know about how stress affects the mind and body, including sleep, so that what you’re experiencing begins to make sense.

What hypnosis feels like

If you’ve never had hypnotherapy before, it’s natural to feel a little unsure. Hypnosis is simply a calm, deeply relaxed state of focus, a bit like the moments before you drift off to sleep. You’re not asleep, you can hear everything, and you remain in control throughout. Most people find it very relaxing.

What people often come to hypnotherapy for

• Anxiety, stress and feeling overwhelmed
• Low mood and confidence
• Sleep problems
• Fears and phobias
• Stopping smoking or vaping
• Stress linked to chronic pain or IBS
• Support through life changes, including menopause
• Performance and public speaking nerves

If what you’re looking for isn’t listed, you’re still very welcome to get in touch.
