My name is Steve, and I'm a qualified and fully insured Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist (2024), having trained with the prestigious Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy training school. I offer online sessions both nationally and internationally.

I specialise in solution-focused hypnotherapy, an effective form of hypnotherapy known for addressing various issues such as weight concerns, anxiety, smoking, addictions, phobias, and more. This is often achieved in 8-12 sessions, which makes it an effective and rapid tool for personal growth and transformation. It has also been in the news lately because of the success of Kyren Wilson at the 2024 World Snooker Championship, who attributed at least some of his success to the solution-focused hypnotherapy sessions he was having with Chris O'Connor (read here https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/snooker/kyren-wilson-hypnotherapy-salmon-family-32750439). I also have a Level 4 Counselling qualification which inevitably means that I will use these skills at times during our sessions together.

What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines hypnosis with solution-focused brief therapy techniques. It aims to help clients achieve their goals by focusing on positive outcomes and utilising their inner resources. This method is effective for addressing issues such as anxiety, stress, smoking cessation and phobias. It can also help you to access the best version of yourself by improving confidence, sports performance etc. Through guided relaxation and positive visualisation, clients are empowered to create lasting change.

How Can Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Help Me?

Solution-focused hypnotherapy can help you by targeting specific goals and fostering positive change in your life. It is effective in lots of areas, for example helping to manage stress, reducing anxiety, and overcoming phobias. By focusing on solutions rather than problems, it empowers you to harness your inner strengths. This approach promotes lasting personal growth and improved well-being.

I help individuals to effectively manage various issues such as:

• Addictions

• Phobias

• Anxiety and low mood

• PTSD and Trauma

• IBS

• Sleep issues

• etc

Solution-focused hypnotherapy is not only effective for mental health concerns. It can also help clients to achieve personal goals, for example;

• Improve Sports Performance

• Lose weight

• Increase confidence

• Pain management

• Breaking bad habits

• etc

Why is online therapy so effective?

1. Comfort and Familiarity: Clients can relax more easily in their own home environment, which can enhance the effectiveness of the hypnotherapy session.

2. Convenience: No need to travel, which saves time and reduces the stress associated with commuting.

3. Privacy: Ensures a private and confidential setting, making clients feel more secure and open during the sessions.

4. Flexibility: More flexible scheduling options to fit the client's routine and lifestyle.

5. Reduced Anxiety: Being in a familiar setting can help reduce anxiety and make it easier for clients to enter a state of relaxation.

6. Enhanced Focus: Clients can prepare their space to be free from distractions, leading to better concentration during the session.

7. Personalised Environment: Clients can control the ambiance (lighting, sound, temperature) to suit their preferences, enhancing comfort.

8. Accessibility: Ideal for clients with mobility issues or those living in remote areas, making hypnotherapy more accessible.

9. Consistent Progress: Easier to integrate follow-up sessions into daily life, promoting continuous progress.

10. Immediate Comfort: After the session, clients can immediately continue with their day in a relaxed manner without the need to travel!

Sessions are offered on Google Meet. Other platforms can be used if preferred.
