Why did I decide to train as a hypnotherapist?
I worked in the accounts profession for over twenty years where I qualified as an Accounting Technician ( AAT - Association of Accounting Technicians).
After leaving employment for a few years to bring up a young family, I decided to return to work, but I wanted to do something totally different. Having always been interested in all things 'Holistic' I decided upon Hypnotherapy. I have always been fascinated in the mechanical workings of the mind and how thoughts and emotions can have such an impact on it, subsequently having such an impact on one's life. So, I felt that hypnotherapy was a good place to begin my journey .
Why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
I found the concept of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy fascinating based on how it focused on what the client wanted to achieve rather than focused on the problem.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
It uses a specific format of talking therapy which incorporates several aspects of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Psychotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques combined with an understanding of how the mind works using the latest neuroscientific research together with therapeutic hypnosis/ 'trance'.
The process doesn't require the therapist to 'dig' into the client's past as this is not deemed as necessary to help the individual. Instead the therapist helps the client to focus on making positive changes in their life using solution focused questioning techniques followed with hypnosis. The hypnosis enables the client's, formulated positive changes, to engage with the subconscious mind, to help enable the changes to happen. These positive changes help the individual take back control of their thoughts and feelings which will subsequently lead to positive actions in their life.
