Hypnotherapy is a gentle therapeutic approach that uses hypnosis to support positive change and personal growth. It helps you settle into a calm, focused state where your mind can take in helpful ideas more easily, making it simpler to shift unhelpful patterns and improve your overall wellbeing.

Yes, hypnotherapy is a natural and safe approach. Even in a trance state, you stay fully in control and can choose what to take on board. It’s nothing like the dramatic versions you see on TV,it isn’t mind control, and you won’t do anything you don’t want to. It’s simply a calm, focused state that helps your mind work with you rather than against you

Hypnotherapy is about helping the conscious and subconscious parts of your mind work together. The subconscious is where so many of our habits, reactions, and automatic choices come from. When you settle into a deep, calm trance state, it becomes easier to explore new ways of responding to challenges and to create changes in how you think, feel, and behave.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses a structured approach that brings together ideas from Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Neuro‑Linguistic Programming. Unlike therapies that spend a lot of time exploring past events or trauma, this approach doesn’t require you to revisit difficult memories. Instead, we focus on what you want for the future, the small, realistic steps that help you move forward and feel more in control

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is rooted in modern neuroscience, helping us understand how the brain shapes our emotions and behaviours. In sessions, we talk through these simple brain based ideas so you can make sense of what’s happening for you. When you understand the “why” behind your reactions, it becomes easier to engage with the process, and the therapy naturally becomes more effective.

Grasping how the brain operates can significantly impact emotional regulation and behavioural change. This understanding facilitates a more engaged therapeutic experience, making the therapy more productive and effective.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg at the Brief Family Therapy Centre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. SFBT emphasises finding solutions in the present and exploring hope and desired futures rather than extensively examining past events.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that has been used for centuries, originating in ancient cultures. In the 19th century, clinical hypnotherapy became more defined, thanks to contributors like Franz Mesmer, Milton Erickson, and David Newton, who emphasised its benefits

While many people experience positive results from hypnotherapy, there are no guarantees of success. It requires a commitment on the client’s part, as being actively engaged in the process is crucial. Clients are often encouraged to attend all scheduled sessions and listen to audio recordings provided by the therapist to enhance their experience and outcomes.

Most people find that somewhere between six and twelve sessions works well, but it really depends on what you’re coming in with and the pace that feels right for you. We don’t rush anything. Some people notice changes quite quickly, and others prefer to take things steadily, both are completely okay. We’ll check in as we go, see what’s shifting, and shape the number of sessions around what you need, not a fixed rule.

Many health insurance providers are beginning to cover some or all costs associated with hypnotherapy. However, it is essential to check with your insurance provider before booking sessions to confirm what is included in your policy.

During REM sleep, important processes occur, such as memory consolidation, mood regulation, and brain repair. Hypnotherapy can facilitate a deep trance that supports REM sleep, promoting these beneficial outcomes and enhancing overall mental health, creativity, and focus.
