Most of us, at some time in our lives, will experience anxiety or stress (or both), and for some of us, it will spiral out of our control. We start to feel anxious about doing the ‘everyday day’ things in life, like driving, shopping, appointments, going to work, even meeting friends for coffee. If this sounds familiar? Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help, and is the latest hypnosis technique. It is a gentle, non-invasive method which combines a complex combination of language patterns, hypnosis (trance) and psychotherapy. These are the tools which allow us to gain access to our brain and, more specifically, the subconscious. where, over a period, we can rewire and alter the neural pathways in the brain and create the preferred, positive future you visualise.

Together, we can create a real and lasting way forward.

Some people have it, some people don’t, but did you know that confidence is something we can all learn? And it’s relatively simple. Our brains have two halves – the Intellectual brain (left pre-frontal cortex) and the Primitive brain (right pre-frontal cortex). Our Intellectual brain loves to learn, it loves to change, and it loves to keep on evolving, as it has since the time of early man and early woman. The Primitive brain, on the other hand, is resistant to change, as it hasn’t evolved in the same way and still has a caveman approach to things. Through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, and the neuroscience surrounding it, we can train our brain to spend more time in the left pre-frontal cortex and, over a period, rewire and alter the neural pathways in the brain and build up our confidence levels. So, by working together, we can achieve the confidence levels you have either lost or have always desired and create a new and confident future in the way that you visualise it to be.

Say it, see it, believe it.

Phobias are extremely common and include – Spiders, flying, elevators, heights, enclosed spaces, crowded public places, needles, snakes, dogs, insects etc. the list goes on – Phobias happen when an event that appears threatening has sufficient emotional overload that, instead of following the normal course in the brain, it gets trapped in the limbic system. It will then be re-experienced as either a panic attack or flashback. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses a technique that allows the sensory memory to be converted into narrative and put into proper perspective. It is an artificial way of doing what should come naturally to us.

Phobia can be treated in 4 sessions.

The use of hypnosis in sports has the potential to help athletes handle personal challenges that would otherwise negatively affect their sporting performance.

Hypnosis can help to reinforce established sporting goals. It can help to alleviate pre-performance nerves and aid relaxation. It can facilitate stress management, increase concentration, and eliminate sport phobia responses. Hypnosis has the ability to eliminate distractions, help to control pain and increase your performance motivation as well as your bodily awareness.

Your best is yet to be!

As exam season approaches, some of us will start to feel those nerves beginning to creep in, our stress levels begin to rise and perhaps our sleep patterns becoming disrupted. Our confidence begins to slide, and we can even begin to doubt our subject knowledge. So, what if I told you I could help you with all these things?

What if there was a scientifically proven method that is guaranteed to help reduce or even alleviate altogether, those debilitating exam nerves? Well, the good news is, there is. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can change the way you think and feel by giving you an understanding of how the brain works, and when we understand how the brain works, we can alter our negative thought patterns and learn how to concentrate on positive thinking, actions, and interactions and when we do this, we physically alter the neural pathways in our brain.

Regardless of age, sex, race, background or reason, self-harm is a common occurrence which acts as a physical release for underlying emotional issues, or for some, who may be feeling numb and disconnected from life, as a way of feeling ‘real’ or alive.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help tackle the anxiety underlying self-harming behaviours. By helping clients to deal with the distress that triggers the self-harming behaviours, they are better able to cope and develop a more helpful perspective on life.

Rather than analysing the root cause of the problems, I help clients to move towards their preferred future by helping them to imagine how they would prefer to behave in response to stressful situations. By visualising a more helpful response, the client’s subconscious is able to develop a more helpful pattern of behaviour enabling them to cope better with situations that would previously have caused them distress.
