What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Step into a world of genuine transformations and heartfelt stories at Brighouse Mind and Body Centre.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of hypnosis, psychotherapy with solution focused therapy principles. It aims to help individuals overcome their challenges by focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems.

Overall, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy aims to help individuals create positive changes in their lives by focusing on solutions, strengths, and resources rather than dwelling on problems and limitations. It’s often used to address a variety of issues including anxiety, phobias, stress, insomnia, and many more.

Here’s how it generally works:

Collaborative Goal Setting

You and I will work together together to identify specific goals that you want to achieve. These goals are typically focused on positive outcomes and desired changes rather than on the problems themselves.

Understanding the Present State

I help you explore your current situation, strengths, resources, and coping mechanisms. This helps you to build a foundation to recognise your abilities to enact change.

Utilisation of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is used as a tool to facilitate relaxation and tap into the subconscious mind. While in a hypnotic state, you will be more open to suggestion and positive reinforcement, which can help reinforce desired behaviours and thought patterns.

Solution Focused Techniques

During hypnosis sessions, I will use various solution focused techniques such as guided imagery, visualisation, and positive affirmations to reinforce your goals and encourage positive change.

Progress Monitoring

Throughout the therapy process, progress towards your goals is regularly monitored and evaluated. This helps to ensure that the therapy remains focused on achieving your desired outcomes.

Empowerment and Self-Efficacy

SFH emphasises empowering you to take control of your own life and develop confidence in your own ability and capability to overcome challenges. You are encouraged to focus on your strengths and successes, which can help boost your self-esteem and resilience.
