Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
I am qualified to help clients using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, which is a type of ‘talking therapy’, that combines the use of psychotherapy with hypnosis. Hypnosis or ‘trance’ is a very natural, relaxing state, encouraged by using guided relaxation, where the mind can relax and then focus on thoughts and suggestions that might be useful.
My goal is to help people so they can become their best, richest, most fulfilled selves - and to help them eradicate any problems holding them back.
As a modern psychotherapeutic approach, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, structured, and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time.
Most importantly, when using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I look at what the client wants to achieve (the solution) rather than at whatever prompted them to seek help (the problem).
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help break the negative cycles of:
Alcohol addiction
Anger management
Anxiety
Chronic pain management
Confidence/self-esteem issues
Depression/low mood
Eating behaviours
Fear and Phobias
Gambling addiction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Low motivation
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Sexual issues
Sleeping problems
Stop smoking/vaping
Stress
Substance addictions
Unwanted habits
Weight management
Have you ever been so engrossed in a book, TV programme or film that you had not realised how much time had elapsed? or can you recall driving a car on your daily commute, when suddenly you realise you weren’t aware of part of the journey?
These are examples of naturally occurring trance and, through simple guided relaxation techniques, you can reach this level of relaxation in the hypnotherapy sessions. You remain awake, aware and in control.
It’s a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.
In this state of trance your subconscious mind becomes more receptive to beneficial suggestions, accepting directions to promote the positive change you desire. Allowing you to become more focused, relaxed and able to make decisions easier. As a client, you need to want the change to happen and be willing to commit to a course of sessions, working with me to bring about that change.
A guide to getting the most out of Online Hypnotherapy,
This section will hopefully answer any questions & concerns you may have about Online Hypnotherapy and aims also give to advice on how to get the most out of each session.
As always, if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch – all the details are at the bottom of the page.
Pre-pandemic we saw clients face-to-face at our practice. Many of the issues we dealt with related to many of these either depression and/or anxiety. Sometimes, the thought of going out & travelling to an appointment can be overbearing to a depressed person, whereas the stress of travelling somewhere different, worries about being late, or finding somewhere to park could be unbearable to someone suffering from anxiety.
Online Hypnotherapy helps alleviate many of these issues, and additionally has so many more benefits:
- You can enjoy hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own surroundings
- No travelling – so less time is taken out of your day
- Flexible – we can offer sessions earlier or later in the day
- Accessible to persons with reduced mobility, or from further away
The results of online therapy match those from face-to-face therapy.
I actually believe that the online results happen quicker, owing partly to all, or some of, the advantages stated above.
Post Covid and as the world rushed to return to ‘normal’ it was widely accepted that online therapy was seen as an improvement.
To ensure a successful ‘Online Hypnotherapy’ session the following criteria should be met:
- A fast reliable internet connection, - a minimum of 5 mbps (megabits per second).
- A Desktop PC, Laptop or Tablet on a stand (Phones & handheld devices are not suitable).
- The latest version of Zoom software (Check for updates). Alternatively zoom can be used within most internet browsers (The standalone app is free to download and use)
- Familiarity with using Zoom. (similar to Facetime, Teams, Whatsapp video call etc.)
- A Working Camera, Microphone and Speakers / Headphones. (many clients prefer headphones)
- A comfortable chair or couch in camera view of your computer.
- In a place where you won’t be disturbed by noise, family or animals for at least an hour.
- All landlines, mobiles and devices set to silent for notifications.
As well as the above, it is important that the client wants to make changes. One thing we find is especially important is that clients recognise that they have to make changes. It would be foolish to do everything the same - but expect different results.
At The Woodside Practice we Embrace Change, change is for the better outcomes you desire, change can bring out the best in you, change is Positive, change is good......
Working together we can EMBRACE CHANGE !!
