Solution Focused Hypnotherapy vs BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®
So which one should you go for…?
Both Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) and BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® (BWRT®) are modern, forward‑looking approaches designed to help you move beyond anxiety, stress, unhelpful patterns, and emotional blocks. They share a common goal - helping you to feel better, faster.
What They Have in Common
Both approaches are grounded in neuroscience, focusing on how the brain processes information, stores emotional responses, and creates behavioural patterns. They also share several key principles:
Future focus — Both therapies look ahead rather than digging through the past. The emphasis is on what you want to achieve and how your brain can support that change.
Rapid change — Clients often notice improvements quickly because both methods work directly with the brain’s natural processes.
Empowerment — You remain in control throughout. These therapies are collaborative, respectful, and designed to help you build confidence and resilience.
Where They Differ
Although they share a similar ethos, the way they create change is distinct…
SFH combines solution focused talking therapy with clinical hypnosis. During hypnosis, the brain enters a calm, focused state where it becomes easier to absorb positive suggestions and rehearse new, helpful patterns. This approach is gentle, relaxing, and a soothing therapeutic experience.
BWRT® is a non‑hypnotic, highly structured approach that works at the speed of thought. It targets the brain’s automatic responses — the ones that fire before we consciously register them. By interrupting and rewiring these patterns, BWRT® helps neutralise unwanted emotional reactions quickly and effectively.
So which Approach Is Right for You?
Both therapies can be transformative, and many clients benefit from a blend depending on their goals. It’s important to choose the approach that resonates most with you and to work with a therapist you feel genuinely comfortable with, as a strong therapeutic rapport is one of the biggest contributors to successful outcomes.
