About SFH

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in a nutshell?*****
It’s a forward-thinking approach that blends traditional hypnosis with practical, results-driven solution focused therapy.****This method zeroes in on what you want to achieve right now, and supporting you to find your solution, to get there.****Here’s how it works:
As the therapist I would aim to direct your mind in a positive direction, before guiding you into a relaxed, focused state.****
It’s not stage hypnosis or anything dramatic, just a purposeful calm where your mind’s more receptive to new ideas.****
You are in complete control during this time. You’ll visualise your goals and, with some support, identify the resources and strengths you already have to overcome current challenges.****
It’s less about fixing what’s “broken” and more about building on what already works.*****I also take a look at the latest neuroscience, and present a simple but logical explanation with what’s going on in the brain.****
Many businesses and professionals have used this approach to manage workplace stress and anxiety, as well as to enhance performance, sharpen focus, and boost productivity.****
Sports people use it to enhance their performance.****
Anyone could benefit from this type of therapy. Including sufferers of anxiety, low mood, grief, fears, intrusive thoughts, OCD, PTSD, and more.****
The priority is always practical progress and tangible outcomes. No endless analysis required. In short: it’s a streamlined, solution-driven tool for anyone wanting to move forward efficiently and confidently.****
It also has a very good track record helping people to stop smoking or vaping (smoking cessation).
