Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that combines talking therapy and deep guided relaxation (hypnosis). Rather than dwelling on past problems or current conflicts, we work together to build on your strengths and create positive changes in your life. It’s a collaborative process designed to help you move forward at your own pace.

Yes, absolutely. Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state, similar to daydreaming or that peaceful moment just before sleep. You remain in control throughout, and you can’t be made to do or say anything you don’t want to. It’s simply a time where your mind becomes relaxed and more open to helpful suggestions and new perspectives.

Not at all. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is focused on the present and your desired future. We don’t dwell on painful memories or analyse the past. Instead, we gently guide your mind toward what’s going well, what you’d like to be different, and how you can begin to make those positives changes in your life.

Yes. Many clients come to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for support with anxiety, stress, low mood, sleep difficulties, and the emotional changes that often accompany perimenopause and menopause. Sessions are tailored to support your unique experience, helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.

Everyone is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The number of sessions required depends on your individual needs. Some people notice a shift after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll review progress regularly and work in a way that feels right for you.

No, not at all. Stage hypnosis is for entertainment, whereas Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic, respectful, and professional approach. You’ll simply experience deep focused relaxation and guided positive suggestions, always with your wellbeing at the heart of the process.

Each session begins with a relaxed conversation where we focus on what’s going well and how you’d like life to be. I’ll explain a bit about how the brain works, which many clients find comforting and empowering. We’ll then work collaboratively as you identify small changes that you are seeking to make, ending the session with a calming and guided relaxation (hypnosis) session, helping reinforce the positive changes you’re working toward.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a gentle and adaptable approach suitable for most people. If you have specific medical or mental health concerns, we can discuss whether this approach is right for you, and I may recommend speaking to your GP or another professional before starting.

Many clients feel a sense of calm and relaxation after the first session, but lasting change tends to build gradually. Like watering a plant, the benefits grow over time as we gently reinforce positive thinking and behaviours.

The sessions can take place at my therapy room, which is in my home in Cotgrave, Nottingham. It is a calm, private space, designed to feel safe, welcoming and peaceful. A place where you can start to feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you walk in.

We can also hold the sessions online via Zoom.

The initial consultation is generally 30 to 45 minutes and a hypnotherapy session approximately 60 minutes.

You can start by booking an initial consultation. This gives us a chance to talk about what you’d like support with, explore how hypnotherapy might help, and answer any other questions you may have. There’s no pressure, just a warm, safe and supportive space for you to consider what feels right for you.
