Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy is a combination of cutting edge psychotherapy called Solutions Focused Brief Therapy together with Clinical Hypnotherapy creating a powerful modern technique that can help you to quickly and effectively transform your life in a positive way that can result in lasting and effective changes.
Unlike traditional counselling, Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on our awareness of the present, which can be a relief to people that don’t wish to focus on the problem or talk about the past. Instead, Solutions Focused therapy looks to highlight and increase the strengths and resources we already have. In this way, we can move forward positively and we can achieve major changes and improvements through gaining control of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
There are many aspects to Hypnotherapy such as psychotherapy (talking therapy), goal-setting, identifying your strengths and the positives in your life. You will also learn the basics of how the brain works, how hypnotherapy works, and how the two work together. Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy utilises certain aspects of the workings of the brain which is why it can be so effective. It puts you in a better place to cope with problems and issues, it helps reduce stress which helps to lessen the impact of pain, IBS, tinnitus etc; it helps relieve anxiety and depression, and can help increase your willpower to stop smoking, control your weight, or make dietary and lifestyle changes.
Many people believe that hypnotherapy is something that is “done” to them, that they explain their issue to the therapist who then simply hypnotises their problem away. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a much more collaborative process and it is important to understand that change happens because you want it to and because you are prepared to take the necessary steps to allow it to happen. Therapeutic hypnosis can be used to help treat a wide range of issues, it is a safe, natural process and a very pleasant and relaxing experience. It calms the mind and creates a state of focused attention during which our minds are better able to find solutions to problems. We use this gentle trance state to help you change unhelpful thought patterns and learn new ways of thinking to help you on your way to a more positive future.
