How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Support You

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines modern psychotherapy techniques with the power of hypnosis. Grounded in neuroscience, this approach uses practical, evidence-based methods to support positive, lasting change within a relatively short period.

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I focus on what you want to achieve (the solution), rather than dwelling on the issues that brought you here. I’ll encourage you to visualise your desired outcome and, together, we’ll identify your strengths, set meaningful goals, and build a roadmap toward your vision. In the hypnosis part of the session, I guide you into a relaxed state to work directly with the subconscious, allowing your brain to form new, healthier pathways. This process helps you release past challenges, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop resilience to manage life’s stresses more effectively.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxed focus that we often enter during daily activities, like driving a familiar route or getting lost in a book or film. It is completely safe and effective, and you remain in control throughout the process. Your mind will only accept suggestions that are genuinely beneficial to you.

What to Expect from Our Sessions

Whether in my therapy room in Bristol or online, my Solution Focused Hypnotherapy sessions will use a range of effective techniques, including Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and traditional counselling methods as needed. Each session is designed to be positive, deeply relaxing, and empowering.

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs, which we’ll assess during your initial consultation.

Take the first step toward a brighter future. Book an appointment today and experience the transformative power of hypnotherapy for yourself.

Past Trauma

I started hypnotherapy because of a tough time at College. I previously had counselling but I felt it was no help and then I discovered hypnotherapy as an option. I had no expectations going in because I had never done it before but Joelle made me feel so comfortable and relaxed from the get go. She really helped me focus on a positive mentality moving forward for the future and made me feel less traumatised by the people from my past and my past treatment. I would 100% recommended her to anyone!

Emetophobia

Hypnotherapy is something I never knew much about however I reached a desperate point where I would try anything to help me, so I decided to go in with an open mind. I felt instantly relaxed and comfortable during my first session with Joelle. She took time to get to know me and understand my emetophobia and how it has affected my life since I was a child.

I felt instantly relaxed and comfortable during my first session with Joelle. She took time to get to know me and understand my emetophobia and how it has affected my life since I was a child. Over the last few years the phobia has been debilitating and controlled so many elements of my life. I have had just 4 sessions so far and Joelle has changed my life. I have noticed my daily anxiety reduce. I am doing more things with ease which I haven’t done in a long time and I am living in the moment more. I no longer worry as much and just can let go and enjoy my life more. Each time I finish a session I feel this deep relaxation that I’ve never experienced before and can feel the weight and pressure resting on my shoulders for years being lifted each time. I completed 15 sessions of CBT prior to this and it did not help with my phobia or anxiety. The short space of time I have spent with Joelle has had such a positive impact on my life. If your reading this and unsure please give it a try you have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Anxiety and Depression

I approached Joelle to help with some anxiety and depression issues that I had. We did a consultation firstly then she provided me with a guided relaxation MP3. I used this at bedtime each night. I found listening to this a wonderful way to unwind at the end of a busy day and over a period of time I could tell that my symptoms of tiredness and anxiety were easing.

Stress

I recently completed a hypnotherapy course with Joelle and have found a marked difference in my ability to stay calm and to deal with stress which was my goal. She is compassionate and warm and I felt able to open up to her straight away. The sessions are tailored around your individual concerns and desired outcomes. I particularly valued the guided meditation recording so that I could continue the practice myself in between sessions.

Sports Performance and Anxiety

I started seeing Joelle for anxiety based issues. After a few weeks work I was able to identify some underlying triggers which I hadn't really considered before. After a lengthy session specifically geared towards previous trauma, I was able to not only put myself into a situation facing the triggers head on, but I was able to perform my sport to a high-level and have fun doing it. I previously thought I wasn't "good enough" but this wasn't the case at all. Joelle has helped me see that I am good enough and also acknowledged my abilities without self- deprecation.... Read All

Amaxophobia (Fear of Driving)

I saw Joelle as I really wanted to overcome my fear of driving on the motorway.  The consultation was really helpful for me to understand how the brain works.  Sessions with Joelle were held over zoom.  My treatment plan was short and effective.  I only needed 4 sessions in total to overcome my fear.  Joelle used some really effective NLP techniques with me and I found the sessions so relaxing.  Each session really helped bring my anxiety down and enable me to get more control over my fear response.  Although I still don't particularly enjoy driving, I am able to...

Depression and Anxiety

My experience with Joelle was brilliant. After very few sessions I felt so much better. Joelle's solutions-focused, empathetic approach aim to help your brain get out of the fight-flight-fear (anger-anxiety-depression) cycles using neurolinguistic programming and hypnotherapy techniques. It seriously works and I left the sessions feeling so calm with a fresh perspective. Joelle is really understanding, lovely and so easy to talk to and work with. Couldn't recommend enough! 🙂

Met Joelle in person today after having my first zoom session the day before. She was lovely. Made me feel at ease and relaxed from our first conversation at the beginning of the week. I’d left it a little late to book but she did her best to squeeze me in. I felt very comfortable with her, she was very warm and welcoming…. Would definitely recommend.

Sports Performance

Joelle helped me with sports performance, she helped remove my fear and keeping me calm in the lead up to my boxing match. Also she helped reprogramme my mind to allow me to be more focused and aggressive within my fight which secured me the win in excellent fashion. Would recommend her 100% to anybody who seeks to be better in their field of expertise or hobby.

Anger

Turns out hypnotherapy was all I needed to help myself to be a bit more positive.   Everything that I have learnt in Joelle's sessions has resonated with me hugely. Thank you so much Joelle.

Arachnophobia

I was so pleased to have come across Joelle at a time when my anxiety & phobias had heightened. My day-to-day life was being affected by my phobia however Joelle’s experience & professionalism made it possible for me to understand how my mind was working and more importantly how I could change this with her knowledge. My confidence has improved and my life back to normality after only a handful of sessions. I would highly recommend Joelle to any of my family & loved ones.

Claustrophobia

I saw Joelle for a course of sessions as I was having anxiety about having claustrophobia during an upcoming MRI scan.  She explained the neuroscience around anxiety and claustrophobia.  She also taught me breathing exercises to help me relax along with NLP techniques to allow me to mentally rehearse the scan going well during hypnosis.  On the day of the scan I felt calm and perfectly relaxed so was really grateful for Joelle's help.  It all went very smoothly and I wholeheartedly recommend Joelle as an empathetic and competent hypnotherapist.

Insomnia

Joelle was able to establish the roots of my insomnia in a manner that put me at ease. I found every session really informative, and Joelle was able to teach me techniques to be able to use at home during the day and at night to combat lack of sleep and getting back to sleep. Also having the relaxation recordings to hand has been a great tool and is now part of my sleep protocol. I could not recommend Joelle enough if you are having any trouble with sleep.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks

After struggling with panic attacks and general anxiety after a period of ill health, I approached Joelle for help. I am generally quite cynical about these things, but my sister had previously had hypnotherapy with positive results so I was open to the possibility of it helping me. She has helped me reframe my thoughts around situations that normally trigger me (driving, crowded spaces, being away from home) to the point where I am now able to do everything I previously took for granted.

Anxiety and Sports Performance

I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy with Joelle! She is amazing; knowledgable, professional and always puts you at ease - meaning you can talk openly in sessions without judgement. I started sessions with Joelle to help with anxiety and mood but we have also done some sports performance related sessions to help me prepare for my first marathon (a lifetime ambition!). Thank you Joelle!

Smoking

I would like to say thank you Joelle for treating me with hypnotherapy to give up smoking. It was three weeks ago that I booked in for a stop smoking session and I continue to be smoke free, which is a huge relief as I was chain smoking and desperate to stop. Now, I can breathe again! I felt safe, relaxed and trusting in your treatment room so I would definitely recommend you to others.

Stress and Weight Management

I started seeing Joelle in January when I was experiencing very high levels of stress, a very low mood and anxiety.

I learned lots of little things to help myself, which inevitably had the effect of helping my family & relationship too! If you are struggling, I would definitely recommend booking in with Joelle, it’s the best money I have ever spent and I am truly grateful for this. I have every faith in this kind of therapy, so I signed up for the Weight Management Programme and I can honestly say, it most definitely works!! Thank you so much Joelle!

I saw Joelle for therapy to help support me with continuing to quit smoking. Joelle is professional but warm and welcoming. Her therapy room was calm and relaxing. I have never had hypnotherapy previously, but it was very enjoyable and I felt confident in the process. My session with Joelle was a very positive and valuble experience . I was also given tools to help me relax and deal with any possible temptation or unhelpful thoughts in the future. Altogether this was a great and positive experience for me . Thank you Joelle!

Since doing the programme, I have lost a stone and now exercising 4-5 times a week. I handle stress so much better now and have really learnt how to relax. I would highly recommend Joelle's Weight Management Programme.

Anxiety

Working with Joelle on my issues has been very positive. She's helped by giving me a new framework in which to think about how I think, feel, and react to life and then used that framework to help shift my thinking and behaviour. Together we've developed strategies for coping with the negatives in life, and for feeling more engaged by and grateful for the positives. I experienced improvement right from the first session.

Anxiety and Emotional Eating

Anxiety and Panic Attacks

I have been doing hypnotherapy with Joelle for the last couple of weeks for anxiety and panic attacks. I literally cannot thank her enough. The improvement I have made in those few weeks have been incredible not only that I feel very comfortable opening up to her. She’s very warm and welcoming.

Hugely grateful for the guidance and support Joelle provided me. I have grown a great deal, with directed therapy and the solution based approach to this counselling. The relaxation was a blessing.

Vaping

I switched from smoking to vapes 10 years ago,. Then I found I couldn’t quit the vapes. They’re more addictive than smoking ever was. That is, until I met Joelle. She put me at ease with our first phone call and after meeting for our ‘quit vaping’ session, I find myself one week vape and nicotine free, feeling confident, strong and proud to have finally put vaping behind me.
