What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern, evidence-based therapy that helps to create positive change by focusing on your goals rather than dwelling on the past. It combines practical psychology with the relaxing power of hypnosis to help you move forward with clarity, confidence and calm. You remain fully in control throughout — relaxed, comfortable and focused on your own wellbeing.
What is Trance?
Trance is a natural, relaxed state of focused attention — something we all experience every day. You might drift into trance when you are daydreaming, reading a book, watching a film or driving a familiar route and suddenly realise you can’t remember part of the journey.
In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we use this natural state to help your mind relax and focus on positive thoughts and ideas. While in trance, your conscious mind becomes quieter, allowing your subconscious to process new perspectives and possibilities more easily.
What are the benefits of SFH?
SFH is a practical, forward-looking approach that supports both emotional and physical balance. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can bring a wide range of positive changes — helping you to feel calmer, more confident, and in control of your life. By focusing on your strengths and future goals, this therapeutic approach can help to:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep and relaxation
- Boost confidence and self-esteem
- Develop a more positive mindset
- Gain greater balance and control
- Increase motivation and focus
- Build resilience and emotional wellbeing
What can I expect to achieve as a result of SFH?
You can expect to make steady, meaningful progress towards your personal goals. This approach helps you focus on what you want to achieve, rather than what’s holding you back — building confidence, motivation, and a more positive outlook.
SFH helps you to helps you recognise your own strengths and resources, allowing you to move confidently towards your goals — whatever they may be. SFE will give you the tools to make lasting improvements to your wellbeing by encouraging positive thinking and calm focus.
How many sessions will I need?
Every person is different, and the number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people notice positive changes after just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support over a longer period.
As a general guide, many clients find that between 8 and 12 sessions provides lasting results. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss what you’d like to achieve and create a plan that feels right for you.

Testimonials
I approached Kate when I as burdened by negative thoughts and emotions which were having a significant impact on my self-esteem and general life outlook. I am now equipped with the tools to view life’s setbacks through a positive mind. This has been transformational for me, I literally feel like a newly invigorated person. Hypnotherapy has empowered me to believe in myself, it has re-established my drive and my belief in a positive future and constructive possibilities. It has helped me to evaluate and improve how I communicate with the world. My experience with Kate has been incredibly insightful, and I feel it has been the catalyst for long-term improvement in my self-esteem and mental clarity. The hypnotherapy sessions with Kate have been life changing for me and for those who I come into contact with. I could not recommend her enough - Adrian, Kings Heath
I had 12 sessions with Kate for situational anxiety. Kate was very easy to talk to and explained everything to me. At first I found the sessions a little challenging as I wasn’t sure how to answer some questions but as the sessions progressed I really started to understand and looked forward to our sessions. I feel it has been very beneficial and I would highly recommend Kate - Patricia, Birmingham
I got so much out of the sessions with Kate. I was going through a very tough patch with anti-depressant withdrawal at the time, but even in spite of this, Kate still managed to help me find ways of being positive and appreciative of my week and life. Kate's upbeat, friendly and professional manner made the sessions very relaxed and informative. I feel the sessions have given me the tools to improve the way I approach my life moving forward, for which I am very grateful - Nicholas, Birmingham
I spent almost 5 months having weekly sessions with Kate. I didn’t know what to expect but I had an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow. Kate made me feel comfortable from our first meeting and was surprised by how relaxing the hypnosis was. I started the sessions with a lot of anxiety but along the way I listened to Kate’s recording and I used new-found strategies to re channel my thinking. I am undoubtedly calmer and, despite still having the odd off day and getting stressed out at times, I have not had uncontrollable anxiety for a long time! I would definitely recommend therapy sessions with Kate and I feel confident that you will find her friendly, relatable and easy to relax with and open up to - Kerry, Birmingham
