What is clinical hypnotherapy and how can it help?

 

hypnosis bristol
Hypnotherapy, as the name suggests, is therapeutic intervention that includes the application of hypnosis. We all have strengths and resources available to us to be happier, cope better, be more confident, regain lost control...whatever the goal hypnotherapy uncovers those capabilities and is known for its rapid results. Intellectually, on a conscious level you may already know what needs to be done to better yourself, but can't seem to do it on will alone. Research has shown that most irrational, instinctive and over emotional responses stem from what is known as the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is a means of accessing and influencing the subconscious mind. Clinical hypnotherapy in Bristol is a popular and effective treatment for a number of conditions, helping people achieve their goals.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy


SFBT is one of the fastest growing approaches in psychotherapy and with good reason. It is acknowledged as a brief and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions in fields such as mental health, social care, education and business. SFBT is a short term goal-focused therapeutic approach which focuses on helping individuals change by constructing solutions rather than investigating problems. A core belief is that people have the strength, wisdom and experience to effect change and the key to change is found by looking at what has worked in the past, what is working now and what can be done differently moving forward. The approach is particularly effective in treating depression and anxiety disorders and can bring about rapid change. The length of treatment is normally under ten sessions but can vary. Fears & phobias or getting over a traumatic experience can generally be dealt with in two or three session. As part of the approach a free CD will be provided to listen to in your free time. This is an important part of the treatment as it ensures, between sessions, the mind stays focused and comes up with solutions.
