FAQs
Just what is solution focused hypnotherapy? If you’re curious about hypnotherapy, how it works and what to expect, these commonly asked questions and answers should help explain the key things you need to know before you get started…
What is solution-focused hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is different from other types of traditional hypnotherapy. It focuses on the present and the future rather than the past and combines solution-focused brief therapy, neuroscience, and some elements of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is an amazing tool for improving mental health and helping people achieve their goals. It is a totally positive therapy and guides you to move forward, change your mindset and enable you to take control of your life. It is a combination of talking therapy and hypnosis.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, structured, and well-researched strategies to help you make significant, positive changes quickly, focusing on the future instead of analysing the past.
What can Hypnotherapy help with?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help improve many conditions and symptoms that are often related to stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also a fantastic therapy for treating sleep problems, chronic pain, IBS, motivation, confidence, and phobias.
The solution focused approach is also effective in helping in other areas such as sports performance and business, helping clients to maximise their performance to achieve their goals.
Does online hypnotherapy work?
Yes, online hypnotherapy is just as effective as face-to-face sessions. In fact, some people prefer working online with their therapist because they are more relaxed and comfortable in their own space. Choosing to begin hypnotherapy online gives you the opportunity to choose a therapist from many different locations as there is no need to travel.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
Everyone is unique and the number of sessions will depend on the concerns that a client presents with. At the initial consultation appointment, I will give an idea of how many sessions of hypnotherapy you are likely to require to meet your individual goals and needs. On average people usually require between 6- 8 sessions to achieve significant long-lasting positive change. The no-smoking session is a 2-hour appointment session, and most phobias can be resolved within 2-3 sessions with me.
I offer some money-saving packages of blocks of sessions that can be purchased via my online booking system. Sessions are best started weekly, often becoming further and further apart as the client becomes more confident.
How long do the sessions last?
Except for stopping smoking, each session lasts 50 minutes.
How does hypnotherapy work?
The first step is the initial consultation which usually takes around 50 minutes. This session gathers information about you, I will listen to you carefully and create a treatment plan tailored to your own needs. I will help you to understand how the brain works to create anger, depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, etc and what we can do about it. I will then give you a link to relaxation audio for you to listen to each night. Subsequent sessions are also 50 minutes in duration and include a 25-minute trance session. We will measure your outcomes together so that you can see your progress and start to make those changes in your mind that will last throughout your life.
Most clients need between 8 and 12 sessions.
What happens when you are in a hypnotherapy Trance?
Hypnotic trance is a natural state and nothing to be afraid of. We go into trance many times a day such as when we are driving, out for a run, or even watching TV. Hypnotic trance works by allowing the conscious mind and subconscious mind to work together to focus on the same thing this is a powerful tool to help to make those positive changes.
Can hypnotherapy make me do something I don’t want to?
Hypnosis does not involve you losing your mind or the therapist taking control of your mind. You cannot be hypnotised against your will or made to do anything you don’t want to do. Contrary to what we have been led to believe by popular TV or stage shows.
