What should I expect with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

This is clinical, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combined with psychotherapy, not stage hypnosis and not mind control.

You are fully conscious and aware throughout the session.

You can open your eyes, move, speak or stop at any time.

You are not put to sleep, you do not lose control and nothing happens without your consent.

There is no trickery, no swinging watches and no “being made to do things” like you may have seen on TV.

The relaxed state used in hypnotherapy is a natural brain state, similar to daydreaming and driving a regular route but not remembering the drive itself or becoming absorbed in a book, something your brain already does every day.

You will learn how your brain works, why anxiety, stress and unhelpful patterns develop and neuroscience informed methods to bring your nervous system back to balance.

Is online hypnotherapy effective?

Yes. Online hypnotherapy is widely considered just as effective as in-person sessions. The same structured, solution-focused approach is used, with no change to the quality or depth of the work.

Many people actually prefer online sessions, as they can take place in the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to travel, and being in a familiar, relaxed environment often helps people feel more at ease and engaged in the process.

How quickly does Hypnotherapy work?

Progress is very individual. Some people begin to notice positive changes within a few sessions, while others experience more gradual improvements over time.

Generally speaking between 6-12 sessions but some people feel better even shorter and some take even longer.

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is not a long-term therapy model. The aim is to help you feel calmer, more positive and better equipped to move forward as efficiently as possible, at a pace that feels right for you.

Is Hypnotherapy Safe?

Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural process. We all naturally move in and out of light trance states every day. For example, when you’re deeply absorbed in a book, watching a film, daydreaming, or driving on autopilot and realising you’ve reached your destination without consciously thinking about the journey.

In hypnotherapy, this natural state of focused relaxation is gently guided and used purposefully. You remain fully aware, in control, and able to open your eyes or stop at any time. Nothing happens without your cooperation or consent.

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy works with the way your brain already functions, helping your nervous system relax and respond differently to stress or unhelpful patterns, in a calm and supportive way.

It is based on evidence-based psychological and neurological principles and conducted by trained professionals.
