When might it be helpful?
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is an incredibly powerful way to cope with life. Using the cutting edge understanding of how the brain and body work, the therapy allows you to take back control of your life, increase motivation and happiness, cope with stress, anxiety and pain and help you achieve the things you want to achieve.
​
The therapy is effective for depression, anxiety and stress, anger, OCD, lack of motivation, relationship issues, weight-loss, anti-smoking, sports and business performance, specific fears such as flying and dentists, and simple happiness.

Irritable bowel syndrome
Research studies have suggested that hypnotherapy may help with the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as abdominal pain.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recognised hypnotherapy as a possible treatment for IBS in those who haven't responded to other treatments.
Skin conditions
Studies suggest that hypnotherapy can be beneficial for childhood eczema. It may also be useful for treating other minor skin conditions, especially those made worse by stress if used alongside medicine.

Anxiety, pregnancy & childbirth
