What is solution-focused hypnotherapy?
Combining ‘talking therapy’ and gentle hypnosis, solution-focused hypnotherapy helps people resolve key issues in their lives by considering the present and the future in a positive way. Sessions therefore focus on what you want to achieve in your life (the solution), rather than the reason for seeking help (the problem).
Whether you have anxiety, depression or stress – or need help with insomnia, migraines, phobias or anything else – solution-focused hypnotherapy can help you to live a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. This person-centred therapy ultimately guides you to find the solution/s you need by working with your therapist Kathleen to envision what you want to achieve and then developing a way to do this.
Solution-focused hypnotherapy can help with:
- Feelings of anxiety
- Low mood
- Anger issues
- Relationships
- Insomnia
- Fears and panic attacks
- Phobias e.g. public speaking
- Smoking
- Stress
- Eating disorders
- Headaches/migraines
- Asthma
- Chronic pain/pain-control
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Fibromyalgia
- Improving/managing performance
Please note: If you have an issue you’d like to discuss which isn’t listed here, then just get in touch.
Very different from what you might see on a stage, the hypnosis in solution-focused hypnotherapy simply involves relaxing the mind and entering into a gentle trance or daydream-like state. This allows you to alter your conscious awareness, letting your subconscious come to the fore so you become more receptive for you to find positive solutions. You remain in control at all times throughout the process and will be guided by your therapist.

Hypnotherapy sessions: What to expect
Initial consultation: During the initial consultation, Kathleen will ask you two key questions: ‘How can I help you?’ and ‘If our sessions are a success, what would you have achieved?’
From here, she will then provide an overview of how the brain works and explain how, by changing the way we think and approach our lives, we can take back control and effect positive change. She will discuss goal-setting with you and help you to identify what you want from life and how hypnotherapy can help you achieve that.
As the sessions focus on the present and the future, they won’t delve into your past but will instead help you to move forward and see a brighter life ahead. Subsequent sessions will build on helping you to identify solutions to your specific problems, using the unique combination of psychotherapy and hypnosis.
- Sessions can be delivered online or in-person and each one lasts for one hour.
- Smoking cessation is set at one session. Phobia work is set at four weeks. Otherwise, sessions can take place over the course of four or more weeks, depending on the individual.
