This approach isn’t just about quick fixes—it’s about making meaningful, lasting changes to help you build the life you love. Solution focussed hypnotherapy uses a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), brief solution-focussed therapy, and hypnosis to help you achieve your goals.

How Does Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Work?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is an evidence-informed approach that combines:

Clinical hypnosis
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Brief Solution Focused Therapy
Modern neuroscience

Rather than repeatedly analysing the past, we focus on helping you move towards the future you want.

Together we’ll identify your strengths, understand what’s keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies that help your brain build healthier, more positive patterns.

You’ll also learn simple neuroscience that explains why anxiety, stress and negative thinking happen. My job is to make this easy to understand, giving you the knowledge and confidence to become an active participant in your own recovery.

The hypnosis then helps reinforce these positive changes by working with your subconscious mind, making it easier for new habits, beliefs and behaviours to become your natural way of thinking.

What Is Trance?

One of the biggest misconceptions about hypnotherapy is that hypnosis means losing control.

In reality, trance is a completely natural state of focused attention that everyone experiences every day.

You may have experienced trance when:

Driving a familiar journey on “autopilot”
Becoming absorbed in a good book
Losing track of time while exercising
Watching a film and forgetting the outside world
Daydreaming

During hypnotherapy, I simply guide you into this relaxed state intentionally.

You remain fully aware of yourself and your surroundings throughout the session. You can speak, move, open your eyes or end the session whenever you choose.

Hypnosis isn’t about someone controlling your mind—it’s about helping you access your own inner resources more effectively.

Why Does Hypnotherapy Work?

Much of our daily behaviour is driven by unconscious habits, beliefs and emotional patterns that were formed over many years.

The subconscious mind is responsible for many of our automatic responses—including anxiety, confidence, motivation and habits.

When we’re relaxed and focused during hypnosis, the brain becomes more receptive to positive learning.

This allows us to:

Reduce anxious thinking
Build confidence
Strengthen emotional resilience
Replace unwanted habits
Improve sleep
Develop healthier responses to stress
Practice new behaviours in a safe environment
Create lasting behavioural change

Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer and more optimistic after just a few sessions.

Real Change Is Possible

One of my earliest clients was a young teacher who felt completely overwhelmed by life.

She dreaded going to work, came home emotionally exhausted every day and spent her evenings hiding under a duvet watching television because she simply had nothing left to give. The stress had become so overwhelming that she’d decided she never wanted children because teaching had completely drained her emotionally.

After eight sessions of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, everything began to change.

She found the confidence to apply for a new teaching position overseas, rediscovered her excitement for the future and started making decisions based on hope rather than fear.

Around a year later, she contacted me with wonderful news. She was happily settled into her new life, thriving in her career, and had welcomed her beautiful baby daughter.

Stories like hers remind me why I love this work.

While every person’s journey is different and no therapist can guarantee specific outcomes, meaningful change is absolutely possible. Sometimes all it takes is the right support, the right approach and the belief that life can feel different.

Even if you’re not sure what’s wrong but feel a sense of “meh” or frustration with life, solution focussed hypnotherapy can help. We’ll work together to find the root cause of your issues and use hypnotherapy to create a positive, transformative change.

If you’re ready to take the next step on this wonderful journey we call life and take control of your future, why not book an appointment now?

Feeling Stuck? Hypnotherapy Can Help You Move Forward

You don’t need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what’s wrong to benefit from hypnotherapy.

Many people come to me simply because they feel stuck, disconnected or frustrated with life. They often describe feeling “flat”, overwhelmed or as though something isn’t quite right, even if they can’t explain why.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding. Together, we’ll explore your goals, build on your strengths and create practical, lasting change that helps you feel more like yourself again.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, confidence, burnout or simply a sense that life could feel better, therapy is tailored to your individual needs. Rather than dwelling on what’s gone wrong, we’ll focus on helping you create the future you want.

Real Client Success Stories

One of the greatest privileges of my work is seeing people rediscover hope and confidence.

One client I worked with in my early years as a hypnotherapist came to me experiencing severe anxiety alongside very low mood. Most days she found it difficult to get out of bed, care for herself or leave the house. Even everyday tasks such as brushing her hair or cleaning her teeth felt overwhelming.

From our very first session, she became fascinated by the neuroscience behind anxiety and how the brain can change. She embraced the techniques we discussed and committed fully to the process.

Within a few weeks she had started the Couch to 5K programme, something that had previously felt completely impossible.

By the end of our ten sessions together, she had successfully applied for and interviewed for a new job, was spending time with family and friends again, and described herself as feeling optimistic, capable and excited about the future.

While every client’s journey is unique and no therapist can guarantee specific outcomes, stories like this demonstrate how powerful positive change can be when evidence-based therapy is combined with commitment and the right support.
