Whatever you wish to change or alter about your future, you have already made that first difficult step.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a simple and modern hypnotherapy technique combining hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. This approach differs from other methods of therapy by identifying the presenting problem and positively and swiftly facilitating change. It helps with many difficult and often distressing conditions including:
- Confidence and Self-esteem
- Anxiety and Stress
- Stopping Smoking
- Weight Loss/Management
- Depression
- Specific Phobias
- Pain
- Relaxation
- Insomnia
- Performance
- IBS
- Conception
- Other treatments

Treatments
Initial consultation
I offer an initial consultation lasting approximately an hour which serves a number of purposes: it gives you the opportunity to explain why you are seeking help, and enables me to assess whether hypnotherapy can help. It allows us to build rapport and to decide whether we would like to work together.
After taking some basic details and asking about your issue, I explain the workings of the brain with regards to your particular issue. I describe how, if our subconscious mind perceives a threat to our wellbeing, it can have an unhelpful effect on our thoughts and behaviours; most people find this interesting and enlightening. I outline the process of hypnosis, which is a much more ordinary experience than many people think. We will agree an approximate number of sessions and I will give you a complementary Relaxation CD to listen to between the sessions.
Subsequent sessions
The subsequent personalised sessions last for 50 minutes. We begin by reviewing how things have been since our last session, with particular emphasis on things that have gone well. We review how the mind works as a prelude to Solution Focused Therapy questions designed to encourage positive responses. This is a fundamental part of the therapy and is also the part where the client has to work the hardest! This is followed by hypnosis, which most people find very relaxing, and is designed to consolidate the therapeutic work.
Phobia
This takes 3 sessions following the initial consultation. This involves the Rewind Technique, and concludes in a reframe or visualisation session.
Smoking Cessation
Smoking cessation lasts up to two hours and the initial consultation is included as part of this session. Full client commitment is essential and willpower is required.
