Common Issues
Stress and Anxiety
The stress response is a normal and necessary part of life, helping us deal with threatening or dangerous situations. Issues arise when this response is triggered in circumstances which are not a true threat such as taking an exam or public speaking, here anxious symptoms such as increased heartbeat or the instinct to run away is not helpful. The list of potential anxiety triggers is lengthy but it is not the events in our lives which create anxiety, it is how we respond to them. Our sessions will help calm this fight or flight response, guiding the rational mind back into control and helping to re-write patterns.
Depression
Experiencing low mood or depression is extremely common and can lead to feelings of hopelessness and difficulty seeing a way forward. Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy can help by guiding you with very simple steps towards the life you want to lead, thinking and behaving more positively. This enables the right conditions for release of certain neurotransmitters in the mind to help feel motivated and more clear sighted towards your goals.
Low Confidence
Confidence is the way we recognise our own achievements and worth and how our inner beliefs are externally demonstrated. We all have periods of low confidence from time to time, but if this is deep rooted it can prevent us reaching our true potential and achieve the things in life we really want. Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy helps build confidence by supporting small achievable steps towards your goals, building motivation and self belief.
Phobias
Phobias are extreme or irrational fears which are triggered at times of high anxiety, it is not always clear when fear first appears but common manifestations are : fear of spiders, flying, heights, needles, driving, public speaking, enclosed spaces and many, many more. Having a phobia can limit your life, leading to avoidance or high levels of anxiety. Solution focussed hypnotherapy uses specialised techniques and visualisation to help reframe these situations, bringing about long lasting changes.
Weight Management
Our relationship with food and weight management can be complex and is often rooted in underlying negative feelings towards ourselves and lack of motivation to make a change. Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy helps us break negative cycles of behaviour and thinking which in turn helps us stay in control of our weight and health and envisage a more positive future.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is fairly common and is characterised by obsessive, repetitive or unwanted thoughts and compulsive behaviours – used to temporarily relieve the uncomfortable thoughts. OCD is caused by anxiety and negative thinking and can be very difficult to overcome on your own. Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy helps you take small steps towards changing and breaking these habits at your own pace. One of the main benefits of hypnotherapy is the ability to quieten the negative, obsessive part of our mind and activate the imaginative and solution driven part to help us get back in control.
