What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural and effective way of helping people create positive change. It can support a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, confidence, fears, phobias, sleep problems, habits and unwanted patterns of behaviour. At Hypnotherapy & Health, solution-focused hypnotherapy is used to help you move forward in a calm, positive and practical way.
What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution-focused hypnotherapy combines modern clinical hypnotherapy techniques with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a well-researched form of psychotherapy. Rather than focusing heavily on the past or analysing problems in depth, solution-focused hypnotherapy helps you focus on your preferred future and the positive changes you would like to make.
The approach is designed to help you:
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Improve confidence and self-esteem
- Develop healthier thought patterns
- Feel calmer and more in control
- Build resilience and emotional wellbeing
- Move towards achievable goals
By focusing on solutions rather than problems, many people find this approach empowering, uplifting and effective.
How Does Hypnosis Work?
Many people are surprised to learn that hypnosis is something we naturally experience every day. Have you ever:
- Driven a familiar route and realised you can’t remember part of the journey?
- Become completely absorbed in a film or book?
- Found yourself “in the zone” while exercising or concentrating deeply?
These are all examples of a natural trance state.
During hypnotherapy, this relaxed and focused state is gently recreated to help calm the mind and encourage positive change. In this state, the conscious and subconscious mind can work together more effectively, making it easier to develop new perspectives, habits and responses.
Hypnosis is deeply relaxing, but you remain aware and in control throughout the session.
What Happens During a Hypnotherapy Session?
Sessions are tailored to you and your individual goals. Together, we focus on where you would like to be, rather than staying stuck in what has been difficult.
Solution-focused hypnotherapy sessions typically include:
- Talking through progress and positive changes
- Exploring practical strategies and solutions
- Guided relaxation and hypnosis
- Tools to support wellbeing between sessions
You will also be given a relaxation audio to listen to between appointments to help reinforce positive change and relaxation.
Is Hypnotherapy Safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe and natural therapeutic approach when practised by a qualified professional. You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and you remain in control at all times.
Hypnotherapy should not replace medical advice or treatment from a healthcare professional. In some cases, it may be appropriate to seek support from your GP or other medical practitioner alongside hypnotherapy. This would always be discussed during your initial consultation.
