Part of our mind can be loud and insistent about keeping us exactly where we are, even though we don’t really want to be there – a place of familiar discomfort. Sometimes it’s hard to visualise how else we could feel and act, or what else we could choose to experience – that would be unfamiliar, and maybe even frightening, but it’s also so much more true to ourselves.
You are here because you want something to change. In solution-focussed hypnotherapy, you can learn to look forward from the present, rather than looking back. Together we consider what you want to aim for, rather than what you want to get away from. Once you can think about what you want, rather than what you don't want, you can make small choices and changes that will bring you closer to your goal.
By giving you the time and space to relax and to focus, solution focused hypnotherapy allows your powerful mind to blossom and be innovative. You can explore all the possibilities of living your life in the way you want to, rather than repeating habits and patterns. You will be able to access all your inner resources to get there.
Hypnosis is a normal, natural, relaxed state, like day-dreaming. We all experience this every day. It happens when we are driving somewhere familiar, like work; when we’re walking, running, riding, or swimming; or when we're watching tv or listening to music. In this state we have access to the subconscious.
Have you ever gone out for a walk because you felt stuck with a problem, and when you came back you realised that you had found the solution? This is because when we are in this kind of hypnotic, relaxed state, our mind is in fact very busy on a subconscious level.
Hypnotherapy is such a powerful way of making changes because it allows your mind to accept and act on new patterns of behaviour at a subconscious level, naturally. It feels so effortless because the changes have come from you.
