How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Help
Discover how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) can support mental well-being and help you move toward positive change.
Below are some of the most common issues SFH can help with. This is by no means an exhaustive list and the beautiful thing about this approach is that it can meet and support you wherever you are, and wherever you want to go. ​​
Chronic stress and anxiety can take a toll on both mind and body. SFH helps reduce anxiety by promoting relaxation and positive thinking. Through solution-focused techniques and calming trance work, clients learn to manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively.
Anxiety & Stress
If racing thoughts are keeping you awake at night, SFH can help. It calms the nervous system, supports healthy sleep patterns, and helps you develop a more relaxed mindset—leading to better quality, more restful sleep.
Sleep Disorders
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy supports the development of inner confidence and self-worth. By reinforcing positive self-beliefs and focusing on personal strengths, clients begin to feel more capable and empowered in daily life.
Confidence & Self Esteem
Stress and IBS are closely linked. SFH has been shown to reduce IBS symptoms by calming the nervous system and easing the stress response—helping you feel more in control of your digestive health.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
For those living with chronic pain, SFH offers a complementary tool for relief. By changing how the brain processes pain and encouraging relaxation, it can help reduce the perception of pain and improve day-to-day comfort.
Pain Management
SFH offers a forward-looking approach to depression. By focusing on small, achievable steps and reinforcing positive behaviors, this therapy helps lift mood and encourage the production of feel-good hormones, such as serotonin—without needing to revisit past trauma.
Depression & Low Mood
Whether it’s fear of flying, spiders, or public speaking, SFH can help reframe and reduce phobic responses. Using gentle visualization and trance, clients build confidence and respond more calmly to previously triggering situations.
Phobias & Fears
Unwanted habits often stem from subconscious triggers. SFH works to rewire these thought patterns, helping clients break free from habits like smoking, nail biting, or overeating—while strengthening motivation for long-term change.
Habit Changes
SFH can be a helpful support for those dealing with obsessive thoughts or mild OCD tendencies. It helps quiet the mind, shift attention to more productive thinking, and create healthier mental routines.
Obsessive Thoughts & OCD
From sports and exams to public speaking, SFH helps you stay calm and focused under pressure. Using mental rehearsal and positive visualization, you can build the mindset needed to perform at your best.
