What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence-based approach that combines talk therapy (Solution Focused Brief Therapy) with clinical hypnotherapy. Rather than focusing on past problems, this method concentrates on what you want to achieve and how to get there, helping you create positive, lasting change quickly and effectively.
How is it different from other types of hypnotherapy or counselling?
Unlike traditional counselling or hypnotherapy, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on the present and future. It’s a goal-driven, forward-looking approach that helps you move past obstacles without needing to revisit painful or traumatic experiences.
Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety, depression, or stress?
Yes! Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is particularly effective for:
- Anxiety and stress
- Low mood and depression
- Sleep issues and insomnia
- Confidence and self-esteem
- It works by retraining unhelpful thought patterns and creating calm, balanced thinking, empowering you to handle life’s challenges with greater ease.
What happens during a session?
Each session lasts around one hour. We begin with a positive conversation about what’s going well and what you’d like to achieve. This is followed by a deeply relaxing trance session, where your mind becomes open to positive suggestions. You’ll leave each session feeling calm, refreshed, and focused on your goals.
Will I lose control under hypnosis?
Not at all. You remain fully in control during hypnosis. Hypnosis is simply a natural, relaxed state of focused attention, much like daydreaming. You are aware of everything, and you cannot be made to do anything you don’t want to do.
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is different, but many clients begin to notice real improvements within 6 to 10 sessions. We’ll discuss your goals in our initial consultation, and I’ll give you a clearer idea of how many sessions might be right for you.
Do I need to talk about painful experiences or trauma?
No. One of the key benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is that we don’t need to dig into the past or relive trauma. Instead, we work together to focus on what you want for your future and how to move forward in a positive way.
Is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy safe?
Yes, absolutely. Hypnotherapy is a gentle, natural, and safe process. The trance state is a calm and relaxed mental state, similar to becoming absorbed in a good book or daydream.
Can Solution Focused Hypnotherapy help with sleep issues?
Definitely. Many clients report better sleep and improved sleep patterns as they reduce anxiety and stress through hypnotherapy. Restoring balance to the mind often leads to better rest naturally.
What kinds of issues can Solution Focused Hypnotherapy help with?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is effective for a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and low mood
- Panic attacks
- Sleep problems and insomnia
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Phobias and fears
- Motivation and focus
- Some forms of chronic pain management
What if I’m nervous about trying hypnotherapy?
Feeling nervous before your first session is completely normal. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease. The process is gentle and adapted to your comfort level, and most clients find sessions to be deeply relaxing and empowering.
