Solution Focused Hypnotherapy at the Learning Specialists
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a talking therapy that combines the use of psychotherapy with hypnosis based on the latest research from neuroscience and incorporates the very best elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives.
Combined in this way the therapy can bring about long-lasting change, relatively quickly
It is a collaborative process designed to reduce anxiety, calm the mind and support you through the challenges you might be facing. It is about looking forward and finding solutions to the problems, rather than dwelling on the problem/s that caused you to seek help.

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a natural, safe, drug-free form of therapy that promotes healing and brings about positive, long-lasting changes in your life. It’s a natural and powerful healer. We all know that the way we perceive a situation influences our unconscious response to it. This is because our thoughts have the power to influence the way we feel and guide our emotions and behaviour.
Hypnotherapy harnesses the natural power and inner resources of your mind to heal you by changing conscious and unconscious negative thinking patterns, negative behaviour and emotions, and limiting beliefs. It uses your creative imagination to alter the way you think, feel and behave and ultimately changes the outcomes and your experiences.
Hypnotherapy is also a traditional medical treatment and is used in conjunction with conventional medicine to help you recuperate from / and prevent illnesses, hasten the process of recovery from injury, relieve suffering, and regain health. This can only be achieved by the mind of the person.
Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis in a therapeutic way to naturally solve problems that you experience and are totally unaware of what is truly causing them to appear in your life. Hypnosis is entirely natural with no side effects.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a trance-like natural state, in which people experience increased attention, concentration, and suggestibility. While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention with heightened suggestibility. People in a hypnotic state often seem sleepy and zoned out, but in reality, they are in a state of hyper-awareness.
While there are many myths and misconceptions, hypnosis is a very real process that can be used as a therapeutic tool. Hypnosis has been shown to have medical and therapeutic benefits, most notably in the reduction of pain and anxiety.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
SFH is a safe and powerful psychotherapeutic tool that can help a wide range of issues from anxiety, sleeping problems, confidence/performance issues to overcoming stress, panic, fears, OCD and smoking/vaping cessation and motivation for weight loss.
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 psychotherapeutic approach, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, structured, and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, 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).
