Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

A gentle, forward-looking approach that helps you focus on what’s possible — in Exmoor and online.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution-focused hypnotherapy looks to help people achieve positive change. Rather than focusing on the “problem”, this approach centres around the solution. Using practical strategies, solution-focused hypnotherapy aims to inspire change in a relatively short period of time.

SFH is a modern, evidence-informed talking therapy that combines Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with hypnosis and insights from neuroscience to help clients make positive, lasting changes by focusing on future solutions and strengths rather than past problems. Hypnosis helps you access your unconscious resources and the brain’s plasticity — enabling you to create a desired future and manage stress more effectively.

SFH commonly supports issues such as anxiety, phobias, confidence, sleep, and habit control.

How does SFH work? How does it compare to traditional talking therapies?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern, positive approach that helps you move towards the future you want — without dwelling on the past. It combines the practical tools of solution-focused talking therapy with the relaxing, powerful state of hypnosis to encourage lasting change.

Unlike some traditional talking therapies, which may explore past experiences and the reasons behind problems, SFH focuses on your strengths, resources, and what you’d like life to look like going forward. By shifting attention toward solutions rather than problems, many clients find progress feels lighter, quicker, and more empowering.

How it works

  • Solution-Focused Conversation — Together we explore what’s going well, identify your goals, and highlight small, achievable steps forward.
  • Hypnosis (deep relaxation) — Guided relaxation helps you access a calm, focused state. This quietens unhelpful thought patterns and allows the brain to build new, positive ways of thinking.

SFH vs. traditional talking therapies

  • Looking forward vs. looking back
  • Strengths & solutions vs. problem analysis
  • Calm & relaxing trance aids change
  • Brief & practical tools you can use daily

Many people find this approach refreshing and uplifting — supporting a sense of control, confidence, and optimism about the future.
