There is a Solution to Every Problem.

In the last decade, the world of neuroscience, with the aid of neuro-imaging (MRI scanning), has evolved immensely and we know more about how the brain functions than we ever have. With the aid of hypnosis trance (which is a natural process) we can re-establish and grow new, positive, pathways in the brain, promoting long-lasting and healthy mental behaviour.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a relaxing and highly effective psychotherapeutic therapy which utilises the latest understandings of the brain,  to help people make significant change in short periods of time. 

Therapists trained in this field use various methods to help you feel safe and comfortable. They create a ‘suggestive’ frame of mind, before focusing your attention on issues, events or coping strategies for example.

When done professionally, this process doesn’t reduce your ability to be in control and make decisions. At the end of the hypnotherapy session, you’re carefully brought back to normal consciousness and alertness.

So, what is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

In essence, this combines a talking therapy, with the relaxed state that’s achieved during correctly-supported hypnosis.

The keyword in this therapeutic approach is Solution. It doesn’t explore the initial trauma, or historic effects that resulted in the condition, Instead, while undergoing hypnotherapy, you are guided and supported to look at things you can do to improve your symptoms and daily life. There is no regression and therefore no focus on reliving previous difficult experiences or past trauma. Many clients find this approach incredibly refreshing and reassuring.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is based on up-to-date neuroscientific research on how the brain works and the focus is always upon the positive rather than the negative. The added benefit of trance, which can be likened to ‘daydreaming’, means that the sessions can be incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. Therapists trained in solution-focused hypnotherapy have structured prompts they use, to support patients in finding ‘a way forward’ and breaking negative thought cycles. The emphasis is on working together to finding positive changes you can make.

A typical solution-focused hypnotherapy treatment plan would include:

• An initial consultation to outline your current mental health status, and discuss goals.
• Evaluation of a more detailed medical history, to ensure this is a therapy that is safe and appropriate for you.
• Discussion about how hypnotherapy works, and the techniques that induce a state of deep relaxation.
• Agreement on the number of sessions likely to bring a significant improvement in PTSD symptoms.
• Sessions in which you get comfortable on a chair or couch before we use your pre-agreed methods and goals to focus your attention on those important positive steps forward.
