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.
So, what is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
In essence, this combines a talking therapy, with the relaxed state that’s achieved during correctly-supported hypnosis.
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.
**You can choose to have your session via Zoom in the comfort of your own home.
"Louise is an amazing therapist"
"My hypnotherapy session was incredibly empowering, I had a deep-seated fear of getting into lifts, which had been holding me back for years.
During my sessions I didn't experience any loss of control; instead, I woke up feeling light, refreshed, and genuinely confident about using lifts
I was able to use the lift at the hospital to attend my knee operation without a seconds hesitation.
The automatic panic response I used to get is completely gone, I can highly recommend Louise to anyone, only wish I'd found her years ago!
