Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines talking therapy with hypnosis that will enable you to focus on your goals and preferred future. It does not analyse or dwell on the past.

Using neuroscience-based techniques, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps:

• Calm the nervous system
• Reduce anxiety
• Encourage positive thinking
• Empower clients to take small, achievable steps toward meaningful change

During hypnosis, you remain aware and in control at all times. It is a natural state of deep relaxation where your attention becomes more focused and your mind feels calmer.

Many people describe it as similar to:

• Daydreaming
• Becoming absorbed in a book
• That gentle state just before falling asleep

During trance, the nervous system settles, the body relaxes, and the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions supporting change. You can still hear what is being said, move if you need to, and bring yourself out of trance at any time.

Hypnosis is not sleep, and you will not be made to do anything against your will.

No, you are in control at all times and will not get 'stuck' in a trance.

Once trance sessions have ended, you will feel:

• In control
• A feeling of positive wellbeing
• Calmness
• Very relaxed

Yes, you can drive. You will feel calm and relaxed, and be able to go about your day feeling emotionally and physically positive following the session.

There are no side-effects from Hypnosis.

This all depends on you as an individual. On average, a client will have 8-12 sessions, usually a week apart.

The number of sessions can vary based on:

• Your individual goals
• The complexity of what you want to achieve
• Your personal response to hypnotherapy
• Your commitment to the process
