Hypnotherapy

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern and empowering therapeutic approach that helps you take control of your life by focusing on the future—not the past.

Combining the practical, goal-oriented techniques of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with the calming and powerful effects of clinical hypnosis, this therapy encourages you to imagine your preferred future, identify your strengths, and take small, positive steps to get there.

It’s a gentle, safe and effective way to overcome anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, phobias, and unwanted habits—and to build confidence, resilience, and inner peace.

Focus on Solutions, Not Problems

Rather than re-visiting past traumas or problems, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is based on the principle that you already have the resources you need to make change happen.

Together, we explore:

What’s going well
What you want to be different
The small steps that move you in the right direction

This approach works especially well for people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain—but who are ready to move forward and take back control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

The Power of Trance

Trance, or hypnosis, is a natural and deeply relaxing state of focused attention—we can go into trance daily, for example,
when we are driving a car, watching tv or out for a run.

In this state:

Your conscious mind quiets down
Your subconscious becomes more open to helpful ideas and positive suggestions
Your brain processes and consolidates what’s been discussed in the session

Trance supports emotional healing and change by allowing the mind to visualise success, rehearse new behaviours, and reframe old thought patterns in a calm, gentle way.

How It Works with the Brain

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses insights from neuroscience to help you understand and work with your brain—not against it.

We help quiet the primitive brain, which is responsible for fight/flight/freeze responses (and where anxiety and negative thinking often originate), and instead engage the intellectual brain—the part of the mind that helps you stay calm, think clearly, and solve problems.

When we focus on what we want to achieve and recognise progress, we literally rewire the brain through a process known as neuroplasticity—creating new, healthier pathways that support lasting change.
