What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy ?

  • Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern combination of psychotherapy and hypnosis. 

  • Based on up to date neuroscientific research. 

  • It focuses on the present and future rather than analysing problems or dwelling on painful memories of the past. 

  • This approach enables the client to identify possible solutions and small steps to move forward to their preferred future. 

  • It is effective in helping people make significant positive changes in their lives within relatively short periods of time.

Hypnotherapy for motivation

What is hypnosis?​

Research shows that we naturally go into trance many times a day – when we are out for a walk or a run, watching television, reading a book. Being absorbed in a task and not even realising that another person has entered the room, never mind that they are talking to you is a naturally occurring form of trance. Hypnosis is not something that is done to you but rather something that you allow yourself to experience. At its simplest it is just an altered brain state. Hypnotherapy is a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable experience and much like daydreaming. As in daydreaming, you can often hear everything that is being said whilst in a deeply relaxed state.

Did you know?

You can literally change your mind - your brain has an amazing ability to change, it’s called neuroplasticity and this can be engaged by thought alone.. Together we can harness that ability to bring about the positive changes you are seeking .

Claire was amazing and beyond helpful. As someone who came into the process pretty lost, she helped me identify different issues and most importantly gave me strategies and encouragement to get through them. And the hypnotherapy was great especially as an athlete. I would 100% recommend claire, she is kind and attentive and a great therapist

I had very debilitating anxiety around attending interviews and had two big ones coming up that could help improve my life and progress so it was really important that I was calm and confident going into that setting. Claire helped me in just a few sessions with a mix of practical tools for managing anxiety and the physical symptoms that accompany it, lots of powerful visualisation work and opportunity to process past bad experiences and replace them with positive outcomes. She is such a warm and engaging person and a profoundly empathic professional. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her and would 1000% recommend her to anyone in need of therapeutic support. She's brilliant! Within a few weeks of seeing her, I had a new job and a university place lined up thanks to successful interviews. Thank you again Claire. 🌞✨🩷

I can’t thank Claire enough for her work with my 16 year old son to help him through the stresses of his GCSE’s. He was very anxious, having trouble sleeping and fearful of failure, ahead of the exams, but Claire’s sessions have relaxed him, the panic attacks have stopped and his confidence has returned . Sleep has also improved and he is now going into the exams with a calm head. What a turnaround ! Thank you 🙂

I have been seeing Claire for a few months on a Tuesday evening and it has been life changing for me. From the moment we started working together, Claire truly understood what was needed, the root cause of some of my motivational and emotional issues. I could not recommend Claire enough to anyone and she is fantastic at what she does. Will be a regular for many years to come.

Having hypnotherapy with Claire has been an extraordinary opportunity to gain a wide range of tools. I gained a deeper understanding of my personality and was provided with specific solutions that certainly worked to change my thinking and behaviour as a consequence. Very valuable time to invest in your self and change your life which would have taken years through other forms of therapy. Reflective , Relaxing and always a joy to come to out of session with a new perspective. Fully recommended!

I attended a group session with my 10 year old daughter to help her to deal with anxiety before her 11+ exams. Claire was fantastic, she connected naturally with the kids and made the theory part very interesting. My daughter particularly enjoyed listening to her guided meditation and felt super relaxed and calm afterwards. This session will also help us to deal with many other emotions going forward. Highly recommend!

Claire helped me to understand why I was experiencing difficulty with certain issues in my life through explaining the science behind my behaviours and thought patterns. She then taught me how to take on a more positive approach when dealing with all life’s ‘complicated stuff’, the good the bad and everything in between. I now feel confident to use this strategy everyday as well as using the guided visualisation and relaxation techniques to help restore inner peace. Claire has helped me regain control of my life and see things from a new and better perspective. I’m very grateful to her.

Along with hypnosis I use a powerful combination of: 

  • Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – Focuses on solutions rather than problems, helping you move forward quickly. 
  • Non-Attachment Therapy – Non Attachment Therapy  is a modern form of treatment developed by psychotherapist Stephen Brooks and is designed to treat a great number of disorders. This highly effective yet simple approach has been conceived, researched and thoroughly tested and has been shown to produce dramatic results in patients and clients often in only one session, including freedom from long term problems.  
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) – Uses practical techniques to reframe thinking patterns and create new, empowering behaviours. 

This integrated approach helps create meaningful change without needing to relive or analyze the past in depth. 

Sessions are £80 but I also offer a block package of 6 sessions for £420.
