Focus on the present and the future…

That's what I thought when I first discovered the Solution Focused approach. What a relief.

Unlike other forms of hypnotherapy, solution focused hypnotherapy uses a specific structure, which incorporates several aspects of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and combines these with an understanding of how the brain works, in combination with using hypnosis, or trance, as it is otherwise referred to.

Because this approach is solution focused, it is not necessary for me as your therapist to 'dig' into your past.

If you've tried therapy before you may be used to going over and over the same old stuff, week in, week out and if you're still looking for help then that approach may not have worked for you.

Here, we will be focusing on the present and the future.

Your brain does not know the difference between imagination and reality so going over and over upsetting and traumatic experiences week in, week out, sometimes for many years, can be unhelpful and unnecessary and especially so if you want to formulate plans and best hopes for how you'd like to move forwards with your life in the future.

When you choose me as your therapist, I'll support you to focus on the outcome that you want, rather than on the issues that have led you to seek help. I'm able to offer a therapy that uses practical, modern, and well-researched strategies that will help you to make significant, positive changes in your life in a relatively short period of time.

Your experiences and feelings are valid, and this approach is not the same as Toxic Positivity which minimises and belittles your feelings and emotions and can lead you to question your own reality.

There's a therapy for everyone and one of my aims is that you'll look forward to coming to see me, instead of dreading it as you may have done with other approaches.

My sessions are relaxed, informal, and often fun!

Some things sound too good to be true, this isn't one of them
