What is solution focused hypnotherapy?
Solution focused hypnotherapy uses practical, modern, and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time.
With solution focused hypnotherapy, I primarily look at what you want to achieve (the solution) rather than at whatever prompted you to visit me (the problem).
My approach focuses on the present and future as whilst we can recognise the past and how it has impacted you, we cannot change this.
What is a hypnotherapy session like?
In the first half of a session we will discuss and explore what you would like to achieve or change, and what would be better if the problem had improved. This enables your solutions to become more obvious and gives you a goal to work towards.
Then I help you to move into a state of hypnosis where I use suggestion and visualisation to help you achieve your goals.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis itself reduces anxiety, and this is done very simply through relaxation and visualisation, allowing you to focus on the positive aspects of your life that enables a shift in perspective.
What is hypnosis like?
When in a state of hypnosis you remain in complete control, it feels wonderfully relaxing and restorative. Despite what you may have seen on television, I cannot make you bark like a dog, or walk like a chicken! You cannot get stuck in hypnosis and you can bring yourself out at any time.
What is your role?
It is important to note that commitment and determination are required and to maximize the success of any treatment program. Results may vary depending on the individual and their commitment to the process. Listening to the relaxation recording that I will share with you in between sessions is necessary.
