What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence-based therapy that combines psychotherapy with hypnosis. It uses practical, structured, and directive methods that help you make positive changes in your life.
Unlike traditional therapies that focus on analysing problems, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy concentrates on solutions and your preferred future. We use what's already working well in your life and use that as a foundation for positive change.
Neuroscience
Based on the latest understanding of how the brain works, using proven techniques to create lasting change
Psychotherapy
Solution-focused approach that helps you identify goals and develop strategies to achieve them
Hypnosis
A relaxed state that allows positive suggestions to be more easily accepted by your subconscious mind

How Does It Work?
A simple, structured approach to help you achieve lasting positive change
Initial Consultation
We start with a free initial consultation where we discuss your goals and how hypnotherapy can help you. This is a chance for you to ask questions and see if the approach feels right for you.
Understanding Your Brain
In your first session, I'll explain how your brain works, why you feel the way you do, and how we can work together to create positive change. This understanding is powerful and empowering.
Solution-Focused Discussion
We spend time discussing what you want to achieve and the positive changes you want to make. We focus on solutions, not problems, looking at what's working well and building on that.
Relaxation & Hypnosis
Each session includes a period of hypnosis - a deeply relaxed state where positive suggestions can be more easily accepted. This is pleasant, safe, and you remain in complete control.
What to Expect
Most clients see positive results after the first session

"Joe is the best. I was struggling with negative thinking and negative lifestyle/habits, and Joe made understanding my feelings and my thoughts really simple, and I left every session feeling positive, calm and capable of getting back to being myself again. Joe's approach to therapy has helped me beyond what any review or words could say. Would highly recommend Joe to anyone needing any support."

The results have been incredible—my sleep has improved immensely and my anxiety… what anxiety? What will stay with me is the in depth understanding I've gained about how the mind works. Joe has helped me in more ways than I can express."

"Joe and his solution-focused therapy was by far the best form of mental help I've received in 10 years. I tried countless counsellors, nothing helped, but I can honestly say after Joe, it's the best I've felt in a decade."

"From the first session I had with Joe I realised the depth of knowledge and experience he has would help me enormously. Joe is incredibly patient and professional but doesn't deviate from his goal, which is to focus your mind and improve your quality and balance of life. I will be continuing my sessions with Joe and I know they will continue to benefit me."
