Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in Brighton, Hove & Online

Science-backed support for anxiety, stress, phobias & emotional overwhelm

Feeling stuck in your head, running on stress, or unsure how to move forward?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you calm the noise, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change — by working with your brain, not against it.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, low mood, overthinking, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection, this gentle but powerful approach helps you shift out of survival mode and reconnect with your calm, confident self.

  • What does hypnotherapy actually do?
When we’re overwhelmed or anxious, the brain’s primitive survival system kicks in — causing fight, flight or freeze responses that keep us stuck in a loop of stress and fear. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses deep relaxation and focused conversation to help you:
  • Reduce anxiety by calming your nervous system
  • Rebalance your brain chemistry (boosting serotonin & dopamine)
  • Shift from problem-focused thinking to solution-focused action
  • Rewire unhelpful patterns using the brain’s natural neuroplasticity
Each session combines modern neuroscience with a relaxed, trance-like state (similar to REM sleep), where the brain processes and integrates positive change more easily.

You stay fully in control — there’s no mind control, just calm guidance and tools that work with how your mind naturally operates.

  • What practical tools will I learn?
You'll gain clear, practical tools to use day to day, including:
*A deeper understanding of how your brain handles emotion and habits
*Breathing and visualisation techniques to reduce stress in real time
*A simple framework for shifting negative thoughts
*A free 60-minute audio download to support relaxation and sleep between sessions

  • Is hypnotherapy recommended by the NHS?
Hypnotherapy is recognised by the NHS as a complementary therapy and is particularly recommended for conditions such as:
*IBS (where NICE guidelines support hypnotherapy)
*Anxiety & stress-related issues
*Sleep problems
*Chronic pain and tension
*Phobias and fears While Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is not yet a formal NHS treatment, many GPs and health professionals recommend it as part of a holistic wellbeing plan — especially for clients looking to avoid medication or address emotional health more naturally.

  •  How quickly does hypnotherapy work?
Many people feel a shift after just a few sessions, especially in their general mood, sleep, and ability to cope. For deeper or long-standing issues, a package of 4–8 sessions is often recommended.

The Phobia hypnotherapy package is three one-hour sessions. 

The 'Stop smoking/vaping' hypnotherapy package is a single two-hour session. 

Unlike traditional talk therapies, this approach is designed to be brief and goal-oriented. You won’t need to relive the past or stay in therapy long-term. We focus on progress, not problems.

  • Is hypnotherapy worth the money?
If you’re ready to invest in your wellbeing — emotionally, mentally, and physically — Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers incredible value. You’re not just paying for time; you’re gaining:

*Tools for long-term emotional resilience
*Better sleep, focus, and confidence
*Clarity around your goals and values
*Support from a qualified professional who tailors each session to you

For many of my clients, it’s been the turning point they didn’t know they needed.

  •  Ready to take the next step?
You don’t need to commit to a full programme straight away. Start with a relaxed, low-cost initial consultation where we explore what’s going on for you, and whether this approach feels like the right fit.

Book your initial consultation — in-person at my Brighton and Hove clinic or online — where we’ll talk about what’s going on for you, what you’d like to change, and how we can work together.

You already have what you need to change. My role is simply to help you access it.
