Your Guide to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

Welcome to your complete guide to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy — a gentle, forward-looking approach that helps you move beyond what's holding you back and towards the life you want to live.

At Trancespire, everything I do is rooted in kindness, collaboration, and the science of how the brain works best. Whether you’re here out of curiosity or you’re ready for change, this page will walk you through what Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is, how it helps, and what to expect.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines the latest understanding of neuroscience with effective elements of talking therapy and clinical hypnosis. Unlike therapies that revisit painful past experiences, this approach looks forward — focusing on what’s working, what’s possible, and how to build positive change.

It draws on:

• Hypnotherapy: Helping your brain relax, reset, and become more receptive to change

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Reframing patterns of thinking to support your goals

• Solution Focused Brief Therapy: Focusing on small, achievable steps rather than problems

How Can It Help?

Clients often come to me when they’re feeling stuck — emotionally, mentally, or even physically. They may be dealing with:

• Low mood or lack of motivation

• Overwhelm or burnout

• Confidence issues or fear of failure

• Procrastination or perfectionism

• Stress and tension held in the body

• Unhelpful habits like smoking or vaping

Because Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is tailored to you, it can support a wide range of challenges — always in a safe, calm, and supportive space.

The Science Behind the Approach

This way of working is grounded in neuroscience. When we experience ongoing stress, our brain can become locked in a survival state, dominated by anxiety, fear, or self-doubt. In this state, the stress hormone cortisol remains high, which affects everything from mood and sleep to digestion and decision-making.

Hypnosis helps shift the brain into what’s known as the 'rest and digest' state — where we feel calm, open, and capable of creative problem solving. From here, you're more able to make the positive changes you're aiming for.

And when we engage in positive actions, positive interactions, and positive thinking — what I call the Three Ps — we stimulate helpful brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. These naturally support better mental health, reduce stress, and improve confidence and wellbeing.
