Therapy
in Bristol and Bath - Which therapy?
"When
the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a
nail!"
I
use a varied approach to your therapy and the service I offer is more than "just" a hypnotherapy treatment. It's important
that you choose a therapy and a therapist that feels right for you.
With years of experience and ongoing training I incorporate many
different approaches including techniques used in CBT,
Psychotherapy, Analysis, NLP, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I
recognise that different difficulties need different approaches and
we pick the best fit for you together. To understand how these
approaches work we have broadly categorised the types of therapy available
for your ease of understanding.

Hypnoanalysis-
Analytical Therapy uses free association and regression to
locate the root cause of problems, release the carried
emotional burden, and resolve any associated issues. With
hypnoanalysis, we use hypnosis to help you attain a state
where you can clearly explore your own history in order to release
and re-frame past anxieties. Very simply, this is a
therapy which focuses on healing events and perceptions from
the past, whilst the other
therapies available focus on the future and the present. As
a general rule most therapeutic plans will follow a solution
focused framework (see below) but a well placed analytical
session within that framework can often facilitate deep
healing.

Solution
Focused Therapy/NLP/CBT- Solution Focused Therapy focuses on
empowerment in the present. It is a modern and forward
focused therapy, which concentrates in a practical way on
strengthening the positive aspects of your life. It's aim is
to help you discover those areas of your life which are not
working and to provide you with the tools and resources you
need to regain control and empowerment to achieve the things
you want to achieve. Solution based therapy uses emotive
hypnotic suggestions, active imagination, metaphor, and
modern psychotherapeutic techniques, including practical
applications of NLP to create new highly positive
instructions for life, at both a conscious and subconscious
level.

Suggestion
Therapy is a traditional treatment which differs from
Solution Based Therapy in that it usually focuses on a
single issue such as smoking, weight loss, nail-biting, exam
worries, performance enhancement, or confidence boosting.
Occasionally the subconscious mind will create resistance in
a single area, such as during public presentations or
perhaps for a driving test. Suggestion therapy can be
enormously helpful in restoring confidence, determination,
and focus, so that the desired outcome of a situation can be
easily achieved. As with all hypnotherapy, when the
conscious and subconscious minds are in agreement, even the
most difficult of tasks become much easier!
