What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy blends modern neuroscience with effective techniques from talking therapy and clinical hypnosis. Unlike approaches that dwell on painful past experiences, this method focuses on what’s working, what’s possible, and how to build positive change.

It draws on three core elements:

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

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

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

The Science Behind the Approach

This method is grounded in neuroscience. When stress becomes ongoing, your brain can get stuck in survival mode, dominated by anxiety, fear, or self-doubt. In this state, high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) affect everything from mood and sleep to digestion and decision-making.

Hypnosis gently shifts the brain into the ‘rest and digest’ state, where you feel calm, open, and ready to solve problems creatively. From this calm place, making positive changes becomes much easier.

By engaging in what I call the Three Ps - positive actions, positive interactions, and positive thinking - we stimulate helpful brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. These natural mood boosters support mental health, reduce stress, and improve confidence and wellbeing.
