What is hypnotherapy?
A practical way to create positive change
If you’re looking for a way to feel more in control, calmer, and more positive about life, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) could be just what you need. It’s a gentle, uplifting approach that blends psychotherapy with hypnosis to help you shift your focus from problems to solutions.
Hypnosis, or what some call a ‘trance’ state, is nothing to worry about – in fact, you’ve probably experienced it many times before. It’s that natural, deeply relaxed feeling you get when daydreaming, watching a film, or getting lost in a good book. This relaxed state allows your mind to be more open to helpful, positive suggestions that can support lasting change.
How does Solution Focused Hypnotherapy work?
SFH is built on neuroscience and positive psychology principles, helping you rewire your brain for success and well-being. Unlike traditional therapies that may involve analysing the past, SFH is all about moving forward.
In-person or online sessions
During a session, I will guide you through a structured yet personalised process that involves:
- Focusing on your goals – We’ll talk about what you want to achieve rather than what’s gone wrong.
- Building on your strengths – Recognising your inner resources and abilities.
- Using hypnosis for relaxation – Helping your subconscious mind absorb positive suggestions to reinforce change.
The beauty of SFH is that it’s an empowering process. You remain fully in control, and each session is designed to leave you feeling lighter, more confident, and optimistic about the future.
How is it different to other types of hypnotherapy?
Many people wonder how SFH compares to other forms of hypnotherapy. The key difference is its forward-thinking, solution-focused nature:
- No dwelling on the past – SFH doesn’t involve reliving painful memories.
- A structured, research-backed approach – Based on neuroscience, psychology, and evidence-based techniques.
- Fast, effective results – Many people notice improvements within just a few sessions.
- You’re in control – SFH is collaborative, helping you develop lifelong skills for self-improvement.
Why does hypnotherapy work so well?
Our brains are constantly rewiring and adapting – a concept known as neuroplasticity. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy harnesses this ability by encouraging positive thought patterns and behaviours. With repeated practice, new, healthier habits become second nature.
Key factors that make SFH so effective include:
- Encouraging a positive mindset – You’ll train your brain to focus on what’s working rather than what isn’t.
- Accessing the subconscious mind – Hypnosis helps bypass unhelpful thought patterns, making positive change easier.
- Reinforcing success – Every session builds on the progress you’ve made, strengthening new neural pathways.
What happens in a hypnotherapy session?
Each session is designed to be a positive, reassuring experience that leaves you feeling lighter and more hopeful. Here’s what typically happens:
- Chat about your goals – I’ll ask about the changes you’d like to see in your life.
- Focus on solutions – You’ll explore your strengths and what’s already working well.
- Relaxation and hypnosis – You’ll be guided into a calm, peaceful state where positive suggestions can take root.
- Reflection and next steps – You’ll leave the session with a sense of progress and clarity about your next steps.
People often find that they feel refreshed and deeply relaxed after a session, and many report subtle yet powerful shifts in their thoughts and behaviours in the days that follow.
