Solution Focused Therapy

Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy is doesn’t require me to ‘dig into’ a person’s past, as this is not deemed necessary to help the person formulate plans and best hopes for how they want to move forward in their lives in the future.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a talking therapy, that combines the use of psychotherapy with hypnosis. Hypnosis or “trance” is a very natural relaxing state, encouraged by using guided relaxation so the mind can relax and then focus on thoughts and suggestions that might be useful. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern psychotherapeutic approach that uses practical, structured, and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time. Crucially, in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy the Hypnotherapists look at what the client wants to achieve, the solution rather than what the problem was that prompted them to seek help.

Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy is completely safe and is very different from the perceived ideas that many have of things we might see in stage hypnosis. Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy uses a specific structure, which incorporates several aspects of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and combines these with an understanding of how the brain works, in combination with using trance. Trance is not mind-control or limiting free will, rather it is something we all naturally go in and out of many times during the day. These relaxed states can be when we are watching TV or when we are in a conversation but not listening or driving and then don’t remember the last bit of road. Almost like being in a daydream, during this time, the unconscious mind is more aware and can focus on helpful suggestions and thoughts.
