How does Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy work?
How Does Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Work?
We all experience natural trance states every day—when driving, running, or even getting lost in a good book. Hypnosis simply uses this natural ability to help you focus your mind and unlock positive change.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, goal-oriented approach that combines the benefits of hypnosis with proven solution-focused techniques. Instead of dwelling on problems or the past, we concentrate on where you want to be—your future. By focusing on solutions, you attract progress, not problems.
Think of it like driving: if you’re heading to London, you don’t look for signs to Birmingham — you focus on your destination. In life, the same principle applies: when you focus on where you want to go, change becomes effortless.
During sessions, I’ll also explain the neuroscience behind your thoughts and feelings, helping you understand how your brain works and how to access the chemicals that boost mood, confidence, and wellbeing. This knowledge empowers you to take control of habits and behaviours for lasting results.
