What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has very little to do with its theatrical cousin ‘Stage Hypnosis’. Whilst its origins can be tracked to similar ancestors (James Braid) the structure and development of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, as nurtured and developed at the Clifton Practice by David Newton, has also taken on board elements of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the latest developments in Neuroscience.

‘The solution focused approach builds upon clients’ resources. It aims to help their preferred outcomes by evoking and co-constructing solutions to their problems. ’

O’Connell, B. (2001), Solution-Focused Stress Counseling, 1: 1.

These approaches when combined with Trance prove to be a formidable way of helping deal with issues such as anxiety, stress, IBS, lack of confidence, insomnia, relationship / marital difficulties, migraine, nail-biting, nightmares, obsessions and many more. .
But What is Trance?

Trance is a natural state that we enter at various times throughout the day. Have you ever driven to work and not been able to remember the journey (but got to your destination safely) or been so engrossed in a book that hours seem to have flown by in minutes?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy utilises this state in conjunction with NLP, CBT and SFBT and most importantly your commitment to help positively intervene in what may have become negative behavioral patterns. Helping you to become more and more aware of the resources which are within you and that are there for you to use.
