As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist (SFH), I use practical, modern, and well-researched strategies to help you make positive changes in a relatively short time. We focus on what you want to achieve, rather than dwelling on the problem — while still acknowledging it. SFH combines research and neuroscience with the best of Solution Focused techniques, Brain-Based Therapy, CBT, and NLP.
How the Approach Works
This approach focuses on the present and future, not the past. I’ll help you imagine your preferred future, what would be better if the problem improved? What would have changed? This makes possible solutions clearer and easier to work toward.
Hypnosis for anxiety and stress helps you relax through simple visualisation techniques, allowing you to focus on positive aspects of your life, quiet your mind, and shift perspective – think therapy meets chill.
Working with the Subconscious
Much of our thinking and behaviour happens below conscious awareness — in the subconscious. SFH and IEMT gently tap into this part of the mind, helping to shift patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back. Think of it like a garden: the subconscious is the soil, your thoughts and habits are the seeds. By nurturing the soil and planting new seeds, positive changes naturally grow.
IEMT: A Complementary Technique
I’m also a trained IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) practitioner. IEMT is a gentle, evidence-based technique that helps shift unhelpful thoughts and emotional patterns quickly. It works beautifully alongside hypnotherapy, giving you another tool to release anxiety, quiet overthinking, and support lasting change. Learn more about IEMT here.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help
Many people find hypnotherapy and IEMT helpful for a wide range of challenges. If you want a detailed list of the problems I work with and the methods I use, check out my How I Can Help page.
Some of the common areas include:
-
Anxiety, panic attacks, and stress
-
Low confidence and self-esteem
-
Minor phobias (spiders, water, flying, public speaking)
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and stress-related symptoms
-
Painful memories or past trauma
Working together, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and IEMT can help you feel calmer, more confident, and more like your real self — all at your own pace.
The Science Behind Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy isn’t just relaxing — it’s backed by science. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recognises hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for IBS, and studies consistently show that relaxation and hypnotherapy techniques can help reduce stress, anxiety, and panic.
Our brains are surprisingly adaptable. Just like muscles grow with exercise, the brain can re-wire and form new connections when we practice new ways of thinking. Studies even show that imagining an activity can create similar brain changes as physically doing it — which is why hypnotherapy, visualisation, and solution-focused techniques are so powerful for creating positive, lasting change.

Relaxation and hypnotherapy work together to calm the nervous system, reduce anxious thoughts, and help you focus on what you want to achieve, rather than the problems holding you back. Over time, these gentle, evidence-based techniques can help you think more positively, feel calmer, and respond to life with more confidence.
