Hypnotherapy Explained

About Hypnotherapy

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines practical therapeutic techniques, coaching and hypnosis to help you make positive changes and move forward in life.

I provide hypnotherapy in Weston-super-Mare for people struggling with anxiety, stress, overwhelm, confidence issues and unhelpful patterns of thinking.

Rather than analysing the past in depth, the focus is on helping you feel calmer, think more clearly and develop more useful patterns of thinking and behaviour.

Many people come for help with:

anxiety and overthinking
stress and burnout
confidence and self-esteem
fears and phobias
sleep problems
habits and unwanted behaviours
motivation and performance

What Happens in a Session?

The first consultation is a chance for us to discuss:

what’s been going on
what you would like to change
how hypnotherapy may help
how many sessions you are likely to need

Sessions are supportive, practical and collaborative. We focus on progress and on helping you move towards the future you want, rather than repeatedly dwelling on problems.

The hypnosis part of the session involves guided relaxation and focused attention designed to help calm the mind and support positive change.

Will I Lose Control?

No. You remain aware and in control throughout hypnosis and cannot be made to do anything against your wishes.

Hypnosis is not mind control or unconsciousness. It is simply a relaxed state where the mind is often more responsive to helpful suggestions and positive change.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

This varies depending on the issue and the individual. Some people notice positive changes quite quickly, while others benefit from a longer course of sessions.

This can all be discussed during your initial consultation.

A Practical, Supportive Approach

I have been in practice since 2008 and previously ran a successful practice in Bristol before relocating to Weston-super-Mare.

Alongside hypnotherapy training and experience, my background in health, fitness and performance gives me a practical understanding of behaviour change, resilience and motivation.

My aim is always to provide a calm, supportive space where people can regain confidence, feel more in control and move forward positively.
