How Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy can help

Confidence & motivation

Confidence & motivation

Being comfortable and confident in who you are and recognising the limitless possibilities in what you can achieve has far reaching benefits both professionally and personally; improving self-esteem, general well-being and most importantly Happiness!

The mind is a powerful tool and Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy can help you to identify solutions unique to you and give you the confidence and drive to reach those goals.

Depression, Anxiety and Anger

Depression, Anxiety and Anger

These are the brain’s primitive responses to helping us survive dangerous situations, but sadly the brain can misinterpret true danger and have a devastating impact on our daily life.

Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy can help you to lift that cloud, see the beauty of life and start to be the real you and best version of yourself.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Hypnotherapy is now a recognised treatment for IBS by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).  Developing coping strategies and utilising relaxation techniques can reduce the physical and emotional symptoms associated with IBS and improve your general well-being & quality of life.

Hypnotherapy can help you see a more comfortable and brighter future and get your freedom back!

Insomnia

Insomnia

Sleep is crucial to our physical & psychological health, yet anxiety & stress can lead to the vicious cycle of being kept a wake and feeling even more worried…. Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy can help you to reduce your stress, feel calm, relaxed and focused and look forward to the benefits of a good night’s sleep!

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Our brains encourage us to recheck things in order to be vigilant and keep us safe (It wouldn’t allow us to simply forget a nearby danger, we’d keep checking!)  Unfortunately, our brains can also develop misguided patterns of behaviour.

OCD can be debilitating and devastating, with compulsive thoughts or behaviours interfering with daily life and trapping people by a controlling routine.  Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy can help you find solutions to break that cycle, regain control and have the freedom to enjoy your life.

Chronic Pain Management & migraine

Chronic Pain Management & migraine

Acute pain is crucial to survival, alerting your body to a danger or injury.  Chronic or persistent pain is relentless, serving no helpful purpose and often leaving us feeling depressed.
Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy can disrupt the pain messages being sent to the brain, help you to focus on the positive aspects of your life and even produce endorphins (natural painkillers) helping you to focus on a brighter future.

Performance Enhancement

Performance Enhancement

Top Athletes now look inside themselves to access valuable resources and potential, recognising the power of the subconscious mind.  There are countless benefits of being able to automate our behaviours and muscle responses, in the same way we learn to tie our shoelaces.  Mental rehearsal and positive visualisation are powerful tools in enhancing performance and reaching our goals, in all aspects of our personal and professional life.

Fears & Phobias

Fears & Phobias

Our brains respond to life experiences and perceived threat; producing templates of behaviour and suitable responses to keep us safe.  When these behaviours do their job, they are further reinforced, forming automatic responses (eg flight or fight).
We can be thankful for knowing instinctively to run away from a lion.   However, for a variety of reasons, irrational responses can develop in just the same way, creating the same intense feeling of fear and anxiety for phobias.  Solution Focussed Therapy & Hypnotherapy is an effective way to rewrite unhelpful templates and give you the freedom to move forwards and enjoy your life.

Relaxation

Relaxation

Relaxation is essential to us, yet often overlooked and undervalued in our busy lives.  This is a crucial part of healthy mental behaviour and allows our brains to help us solve problems, find answers and be the best we can be.  Allowing our mind to wander increases creativity and often leads to our best ideas… Einstein’s eureka moments often happened when he was thinking about other things!

Skin Disorders

Skin Disorders

Skin is the largest organ and reacts to chemical changes in the body and mind, eg blushing or goosebumps! There are many skin disorders directly linked to anxiety, often flaring up during times of stress.  Eczema and Psoriasis are common examples of physical symptom of stress, causing further discomfort and impacting upon confidence and self esteem.  By reducing stress, focusing on the positive aspects of your life and regulating your body’s chemical levels, Hypnotherapy can assist with removing the physical manifestations of anxiety and giving you back your confidence.

Weight Management

Weight Management

We all want to feel and look our best, to be healthy and have personal and social confidence.  However, it is important to approach this in a healthy way and be kind to yourself!
There are many emotional and physiological links between weight management and the brain. But quite simply, if we are calm, relaxed and happy, we make good decisions and enable our body to function well and manage our weight.  By reducing your stress levels and focusing on the positive aspects of life, you can bring about lasting change in your physical appearance, but most importantly in your general wellbeing, health and happiness.

Stop Smoking

Stop Smoking

By reading this you are already well on your way to a healthier and wealthier life!  If you truly have the dedication and determination to stop smoking, it is remarkably easy once you understand how your brain works and tricks you into thinking you need that cigarette! Hypnotherapy will empower you to reach your goal, supporting you to imagine that positive future free from smoking.  This is reinforced through the use of trance; accessing the subconscious mind and reprogramming those urges to really embed that positive change.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma & PTSD

Our brains manage huge amounts of information, processing and storing this to be retrieved as needed. With traumatic experiences, it appears we  manage this differently, sometimes leading to very challenging symptoms.

For 15 years, I’ve passionately worked with people experiencing significant trauma from both a criminal justice and therapeutic perspective, since qualifying in 2016.

As well as Solution Focused Therapy & Hypnotherapy, I also use a fast and effective technique called ‘Rewind’ (recently modernised by Dr Muss).

YOUR BEST HOPES!

YOUR BEST HOPES!

To be truly solution focused, rather than thinking about a ‘problem’ or issue to resolve, perhaps instead ask yourself…

“What are my best hopes from therapy?”

and…

“What difference would achieving these make to me and my life?”

If the above has got you thinking, this is all you need in order to get in touch and take yourself a step closer to where you want and deserve to be.

“….and many more…. please contact me if you have an issue or hope for your life which is not listed and I will be delighted to help, or point you in the right direction.

Where appropriate, please also consider seeking advice from your GP.
