Depression
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is an approach that emphasises shifting a client’s focus from their problems to potential solutions. This method encourages clients to explore their desired outcomes and envision a future where they have overcome their issues. By utilising techniques like guided visualisation and relaxation, the therapy aims to empower individuals to harness their own resources and strengths, helping them create actionable steps toward achieving their goals. Through this forward-thinking lens, clients are encouraged to identify small changes that can significantly improve their lives, fostering a sense of agency and hope.
Managing Weight
The solution-focused hypnotherapy approach is based on evidence and supported by scientific research, particularly in managing weight. This approach explores how our brains function and how our thought patterns significantly influence our food choices, often leading to unhealthy decisions. By understanding the mechanisms underlying our thinking, we can reprogram our responses to food and develop healthier habits. This method not only addresses the behavioural aspects of eating but also helps individuals identify and shift limiting beliefs that contribute to it. Ultimately, it fosters a more positive relationship with food and improves self-image.
Anxiety
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasises collaboration between the therapist and the client. This method aims to reduce anxiety and promote mental calmness through the integration of psychotherapy techniques and hypnotic practices. By harnessing the power of suggestion and focused relaxation, clients are guided to explore their goals and aspirations, enabling them to create effective strategies for change. This process helps manage anxiety and empowers individuals to make meaningful progress in a relatively short period. As clients engage in this journey, they can unlock their potential and foster a more positive mindset.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Solution-focused hypnotherapy has been shown to effectively alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by targeting the underlying stress and anxiety that often exacerbate these symptoms. This therapeutic approach can significantly reduce overall stress levels by helping individuals relax and enter a state of focused awareness. As stress and anxiety are closely linked to the perception of pain and discomfort, this reduction can lead to a notable decrease in the intensity and frequency of IBS symptoms. Through guided visualisation and positive suggestions, clients can learn to manage their emotional responses, fostering greater control over their bodily sensations and overall wellbeing. This holistic approach provides immediate relief and equips individuals with the tools to cope with future stressors, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
Calm pregnancy and childbirth

Managing pain

Performance
Solution-focused hypnotherapy offers a powerful approach to enhancing sports performance by targeting both mental focus and physical control. This therapeutic method harnesses the mind’s ability to influence bodily functions and skills, fostering heightened concentration during training and competition.
Recent advancements in neuroscience reveal that the brain processes mental rehearsals and visualisations like physical practice. When athletes engage in structured visualisation techniques, they can mentally simulate their performance, allowing them to refine their skills and strategies. This process can lead to improved confidence, reduced anxiety, and performance levels that can rival those achieved through traditional physical training. By incorporating solution-focused hypnotherapy, individuals can cultivate a more resilient mindset, leading to better outcomes in their respective sports.
Fears and phobias
Solution-focused Hypnotherapy uses simple techniques over four to six sessions. These techniques allow the mind to run through past events in a safe and secure environment, feeling disassociated from them. The past emotional experience then gets replaced by how we would like to behave in that situation or enviroment.
Self-esteem and confidence
Solution-focused hypnotherapy can help feelings of low confidence and self-esteem by alleviating feelings of anxiety and depression, enabling individuals to assess their strengths more clearly and gently challenge any negative beliefs they hold about themselves.

Clients often experience improved sleep quality as anxiety decreases, waking them up refreshed and energised.
Smoking or vaping cessation
Solution-focused Hypnotherapy leverages the transformative power of hypnosis to help individuals direct their intellectual focus towards overcoming the smoking habit. This approach involves guiding the client to dissociate smoking from specific times, places, emotions, or situations, thereby reducing the triggers that often lead to the urge to smoke.
It’s important to emphasise that the client must be genuinely committed to making a change for this method to be effective. Their willingness to engage in the process significantly influences the outcome. As with any therapeutic approach, results can vary from person to person, depending on individual circumstances, mindset, and the level of dedication applied during the sessions.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
