Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a type of ‘talking therapy’, that combines the use of psychotherapy with hypnosis. Hypnosis or ‘trance’ is a very natural, relaxing state, encouraged by using guided relaxation, where the mind can relax and then focus on thoughts and suggestions that might be useful. As a modern psycho-therapeutic approach, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, structured and well-researched strategies to help people make significant and positive changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time. Crucially, in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, therapists look at what the client wants to achieve (the solution) rather than at whatever prompted them to seek help (the problem).

The idea of such ways of working is to unravel psychic, stressful and traumatic experience in a creative way, utilising artistic expression for you to cast and interpret alongside imagery and symbolism. This approach typically involves delving deeper into past events to identify significant causes of current issues. This can be in the form of Gestalt role play, Parts therapy, drawing, painting, creative writing and letter writing. We will employ regression and inner-child methodology, to work together towards rehabilitation and healing. It is certainly not necessary for you to be in any way proficient or skilled at drawing or indeed art in general. An enthusiasm for making positive changes through alternative and dynamic ways is all that is required.
