Solution focused Hypnotherapy is a modern and clinically-proven approach which looks to help people achieve positive change. Rather than focusing on the ‘problem’, this approach centres around the solution. This change can be achieved in a relatively short period of time. The philosophy of solution-focused hypnotherapy is based on the work of Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg and the technique they developed, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT).
Hypnosis or trance describes times when we experience a change in our conscious awareness almost like a daydream, Trance used during hypnotherapy is very different from the kind of things we might see in ‘s In our day to day lives, we all naturally go in and out of trance states many times during the day – for example when we are driving or going for a run. During this time, the unconscious mind is more aware and can focus on helpful suggestions and thought stage hypnosis’.
Trance is a very natural and safe state. Trance is not ‘mind control’ contrary to what you might see on the television, when we are in a trance state we are still in control, and we process and decide whether information or suggestions are useful to us or not and will not accept or do anything against our will.
"My interest in therapy started over 30 years ago when I received some reflexology to help me relax before school exams. I studied psychology at college before I went on to university to become a qualified dental nurse and then 3 years later qualified as a dental hygienist. I founded Visage Dental in 2016 and offer dental anxiety sessions.
Over the years I have seen and shared many of the challenges life throws at us and I felt that Solution focused hypnotherapy really resonated with me as I really believe in looking forward to implementing change & behaviours. With Visage Medical now I will be working alongside lots of our patients to help them become the best version of themselves."
