Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a form of 'talking therapy', that mixes the use of psychotherapy with hypnosis. Hypnosis or 'trance' is a natural, relaxing state, supported by guided relaxation, where the mind can unwind and then concentrate on thoughts and suggestions that may be beneficial. As a modern psychotherapeutic approach, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, organised, and well-investigated approaches to help people make important, positive changes in their lives in a relatively short time frame. Fundamentally, in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, therapists examine what the client wants to achieve (the solution) instead of whatever encouraged them to ask for help (the problem). Therapists support clients to set their own realistic goals, helping them to break things down into smaller chunks or mini-goals, so improvement can be measured and it’s easier to see the progress being made.
