In today’s fast-paced world, anxiety and stress have become all too common. The constant demands of work, relationships, and daily responsibilities can leave us feeling overwhelmed and mentally exhausted. If you’re struggling with anxiety or stress, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy could be the answer you’ve been looking for. Whether you visit me in my Bristol therapy room or work with me online, this powerful approach can help you regain control of your thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern, evidence-based approach that combines talking therapy with hypnosis to help you create positive changes in your life. Unlike traditional therapy that may focus on the past, SFH is future-focused—meaning we concentrate on where you want to be rather than dwelling on past issues. By working together, we identify solutions and small, achievable steps to help you move forward with confidence.
How Can Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Help with Anxiety and Stress?
Anxiety and stress often stem from unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that keep us stuck in a cycle of worry and tension. SFH helps to:
✔️ Reduce Anxiety Levels – By engaging in deep relaxation techniques, we lower stress hormones and help you feel more at ease.
✔️ Reframe Negative Thoughts – You’ll learn how to shift from anxious, catastrophic thinking to a more balanced and positive mindset.
✔️ Change Unhelpful Behaviours – Whether it’s avoidance, overthinking, or self-doubt, we’ll work on replacing unhelpful habits with productive ones.
✔️ Empower You with Knowledge – Understanding how your mind works is key to managing stress and anxiety. In our sessions, I’ll teach you about the brain’s role in anxiety, so you feel more in control.
Empowering You with Knowledge and Anxiety Tools
One of the most empowering aspects of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is learning how your subconscious mind works. Many clients have told me that simply understanding why they feel the way they do has been life-changing. When you realise that anxiety is a natural response from your brain (but one that can be managed), you feel more in control and less at the mercy of anxious thoughts.
Alongside hypnotherapy, I teach practical anxiety-reducing tools that you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed. These include:
🌀 Breathing techniques to quickly calm the nervous system
🌀 Progressive muscle relaxation to release built-up tension
🌀 Mindfulness strategies to stay present and grounded
🌀 Visualisation exercises to create a sense of calm and control
These techniques complement hypnotherapy beautifully, helping you slow down a racing mind and regain clarity.
The Trance-Like State: What to Expect
Hypnosis is a natural, deeply relaxed state that we all experience daily—when daydreaming, getting lost in a book, or just before falling asleep. During our sessions, I guide you into this relaxed, trance-like state, where your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and solutions. This state is safe, empowering, and deeply restorative, allowing your brain to process and rewire unhelpful patterns.
