Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) blends the principles of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), insights from neuroscience, and the practice of hypnosis. Sessions work by guiding you to shift your attention away from difficulties an towards solutions, this nurtures meaningful change through the subconscious mind in a relaxed yet attentive state.
In contrast to other forms of talk therapy, which may revisit upsetting events from your past, SFH helps you to move forward with confidence as we instead focus on; The present and future — creating a clear path toward the life you want, your strengths and abilities — unlocking the tools you already have within you, desired outcomes — guiding you to visualise and achieve your goals.
By harnessing the power of your subconscious mind in a calm, focused state, SFH empowers you to make lasting, positive changes at a pace that is right for you.
I support adults and young people as they discover their strength, confidence and sense of self. I believe that meaningful change is possible at any age and at any moment in life. Even though taking that first step can feel overwhelming, I offer a gentle, nurturing space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported as you grow into the best version of who you are.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural, altered state of awareness where your body becomes deeply relaxed and your mind gains heightened focus and concentration. In this state, everyday distractions fade into the background, allowing you to direct your attention inward and access your subconscious mind more easily.
Far from being mysterious or magical, hypnosis is a well-researched psychological phenomenon. It works by engaging the same mechanisms the brain uses during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep — the time when we naturally process emotions, thoughts, and experiences. By gently activating this state, hypnosis creates an environment where your mind is more receptive to positive suggestions and new perspectives.
Key Features of Hypnosis:
Deep relaxation: Your body feels calm and at ease, reducing stress and tension.
Heightened focus: Concentration sharpens, making it easier to explore new ways of thinking.
Subconscious access: Your subconscious mind becomes more open, allowing unhelpful patterns to be released and replaced with constructive ones.
Positive change: With guidance, hypnosis can help reframe challenges, build confidence, and encourage healthier habits.
Hypnosis is not about losing control — it’s about gaining clarity. By working in this relaxed, focused state, you can unlock your inner resources, reshape limiting beliefs, and move toward lasting, positive change.
