Depression
Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will suffer from a mental health problem at any one
time.
Depression can leave you feeling unable to cope with negative feelings which can cause you
to put life on hold and withdraw from the outside world. Depression often starts gradually
so that you do not realise anything is wrong, but as time goes on we start to withdraw more
and more from everyday situations, refusing to engage with others, pushing away friends
and relatives. People suffering from depression usually also have feelings of despair and
inability to see how their situation could change for the better.
It takes away your confidence and ability to feel in control to make rational decisions,
instead becoming focused on negative thoughts and forecasting the worst case scenarios,
often leaving you hopeless and unable to see a way out. Depression can leave you feeling
like you are stuck under a dark cloud which can be quite isolating.
Symptoms such as:-
. Negative thinking, negative forecasting, or negative introspection.
. Feeling disconnected to the real world.
. Low energy levels.
. Weight loss or weight gain.
. Difficulties in thinking and concentrating.
. Sleep problems.
. Loss of pleasure or interest in usual activities.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you to break free from the negative cycle of
depression, giving you tools and techniques you can use to feel better and boost your
serotonin levels naturally.
We will work together weekly, we will avoid problem talk, we’ll focus on how you want
things to be rather than dwelling on negative past problems.
Your tailored programme will be designed to build new helpful patterns of behaviour that
helps you helps you feel more positive about the future.

Anger
Anger usually happens as a result of feeling frustrated, insulted, deceived or even under
attack. It triggers a physical reaction in your body, your mind becomes focused on these
potential threats, adrenaline and stress hormones are pumped around your body and you
respond by getting ready to fight or flight.
For some people these feelings soon pass, however, for some it can become a difficult
emotion to control. Anger issues can affect your relationships, work and your self-esteem.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you take control of your negative thoughts and
support you in developing more effective coping strategies.
We work together to find solutions to help you react to situations in more appropriate ways
for your well-being.

IBS
Since 2008, the National Insititute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has suggested
Hypnotherapy as a suitable intervention for IBS.
In February 2008 NICE, which gives guidance to the NHS on effective treatments, published
guidance for GP’s and consultants saying there was good evidence that hypnotherapy was
an effective IBS treatment and that it could be recommended for chronic IBS.
IBS affects one person in five and is the world’s most common digestive disorder.
IBS can have a significant impact on the quality of life and how it creates considerable
anxiety and stress. Symptoms such as bloating, cramping, constipation and diarrhoea, can
impact on all daily activities from relationships, work, social and travel activities.
The chemical nature of stress, worry or anxiety makes the symptoms of IBS even worse.
The good news is that hypnotherapy, has been shown to help alleviate symptoms
considerably.
Solution Focused Techniques also help you gain control of life again, helping you build
confidence and self-esteem, so you feel more able to be more spontaneous and enjoy
everyday activities.
IBS is still regarded as a medical condition, if you think you might have IBS then please visit
your GP first to get their diagnosis and advice. Once you have established with the doctor
that it is IBS and believe that hypnotherapy could help then please get in touch.

Weight Management
Many people have tried slimming clubs and diets which appear successful for a while, only
to find that the weight creeps back on. Diets have been shown not to work in the long term
and you cannot continue “dieting” for ever.
We all know that surplus weight can have serious health consequences and maintaining a
healthy weight can become a lifelong battle.
Whatever triggers your bad eating habits, you really can change the way you think about
food, but still enjoy it.
Rather than just reducing calories that you are likely to put on again, Solution Focused
Hypnotherapy puts you in touch with why you unconsciously eat. I will help you to
understand why.
As well as helping to stop your compulsive eating, hypnosis can increase your motivation for
exercise and activity. It can help you reduce portion size’s so you lose weight more steadily
and healthily enabling long term benefits. Losing weight with hypnosis is essentially about
teaching you how to feel good about yourself, whatever size you are. It focuses on helping
you to make healthy changes to your diet and changing lifelong negative habits held around
food and body image.
Reality Check:- This is not a magic wand, you need to take some responsibility for the
choices you make, people who really engage with the process report that their cravings
reduce significantly and they become much more able to make wise choices so that they
feel calm and in control and much happier as a result.
An important thing to remember is that hypnotherapy, should be used alongside a healthy
eating plan and exercise regime, it is often a combined effort of all of these things that lead
to success. If you want advice about healthy eating and exercising, you may find it useful to
speak to your GP or a nutritionist.

Smoking Cessation
Cigarette smoking is the greatest single cause of illness and premature death in the UK and
results in killing 7 million people each year world wide.
It also affects other people’s health, second hand smoke kills 1 million people each year.
Imagine how healthy you would feel every day if you were no longer taking in cigarette
smoke, with all its deadly carcinogenic poisons, into your body. Imagine how much younger
and fitter you would become if your body’s processes were working to optimise your health
and energy, rather than being damaged daily.
Imagine how happy and confident you would feel knowing that you had lengthened your life
by years if not decades, knowing that you had greatly improved your chances of avoiding life
threatening illnesses such as lung cancer and heart disease.
Stopping smoking may appear to be a challenge for some, but it’s one of the best things we
can do for our health. Smoking is a deadly habit and is a leading cause of cancer, it
increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes, lung disease and many other health problems.
The therapist guides the client into a relaxed state enabling direct access to their
subconscious mind, by using positive suggestion and imagery the therapist is able to focus
on the behaviours that the client wishes to change.
The benefits of stopping smoking begin straight away – you reduce your risk of getting
serious disease no matter what age you give up.
Like all other habits, smoking is hard to stop as it has become part of your daily routine.
However, both “Which” and “New Scientist” magazines have reported that hypnosis is the
most effective way of giving up smoking.
Stopping smoking requires motivation, effort and a desire to want to stop the habit,
hypnotherapy still requires all of these things in order for you to be successful.

Like all other habits, smoking is hard to stop as it has become part of your daily routine.
However, both “Which” and “New Scientist” magazines have reported that hypnosis is the
most effective way of giving up smoking.
Stopping smoking requires motivation, effort and a desire to want to stop the habit,
hypnotherapy still requires all of these things in order for you to be successful.

Confidence and Self-Esteem
Even successful people need help with confidence issues, you may well have raised a family
or perhaps built a successful business, but this does not mean you are confident.
Low self-confidence can hold you back from developing and achieving your true potential
both professionally and personally. It can also affect your relationships with others and can
leave you worrying and fearing other people’s perceptions and thoughts about you and your
performance, often feeling the need to apologise inappropriately.
Confidence allows us to achieve our full potential when we are not thinking negatively
about ourselves, if you lack confidence, you may seek regular reassurance from friends and
colleagues and instead only focus on perceived criticism and not listening to any praise or
positive feedback.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you become more confident, happier and positive.
We will work together by identifying your strengths and focus on what you can do, rather
than what you can’t. Our sessions build on each success that you achieve, so that you feel
more able to engage in work and social situations and achieve you goals without worry or
fear.

Addictions
Mobile Phone/Social Media/Screen Addiction/Gaming/Gambling/Alcohol etc
Addiction is very common, according to the charity Action on Addiction, 1 in 3 people are
addicted to something. We most commonly associate addictions with smoking, gambling,
drugs and alcohol, but addictive behaviour can come in many forms, perhaps mobile
phones, social media, gaming addiction, working, shopping for example, and all of these
behaviours share similarities, regardless of the substance or behaviour involved.
Social media addiction can increase feelings of loneliness and depression. Social media
should be a way to enhance your social life, not replace it. Addiction to social media and
the internet is a growing problem in modern life, by looking at other people’s lives and
“comparing and despairing”. Social media is designed to be seriously addictive, research
has shown that “Likes” and “Retweets” can provide an addictive dopamine rush which leads
to addiction, break the habit, get a digital detox.
Addictions can not only harm your health, but can often have an impact on those around
you affecting personal relationships, work and the overall quality of your life.
The reason why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works so rapidly with addictions is because it
works directly with your subconscious mind, bypassing the critical mind and getting to the
root of the issue so that changes can be made that support your goals quickly and
efficiently.
Any need or habit you feel to be getting out of control is at risk of becoming an addiction.
The sooner that you act, the easier it is to overcome.
Whilst you need the motivation and desire to change, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can
help you with the process of changing and stopping addictive behaviours.
We’ll work together to help you to understand and reduce your cravings and desires. It can
also give you an awareness of the triggers or underlying reasons for your reliance to give
you back control.
