How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Help with Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety and stress are part of life… but when they start to take over, life can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and out of control.

Maybe you’re lying awake at night with your mind racing?
Maybe you feel constantly on edge, overthinking everything, or struggling to switch off?
Or perhaps stress is showing up in your body – tight chest, headaches, fatigue, or that all-too-familiar feeling of being wired but tired?

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle.

The Brain Under Stress

When we’re anxious or stressed, we tend to operate from a more primitive part of our brain… designed for survival, not long-term happiness. This part of the mind is great at keeping us safe in emergencies, but when it stays in the driver’s seat for too long, we start to feel anxious, irritable, and overwhelmed… even when there’s no obvious danger.

This is where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can make a powerful difference.

So How Does It Work?

Using a combination of modern talking therapy and gentle hypnosis, SFH helps calm the stress response in the brain and shift you back into a more balanced, rational state of mind.

We don’t need to revisit the painful past or unpick every thought. Instead, our sessions are forward-focused, positive, and practical. We’ll explore how you want to feel, what small steps might take you there, and what’s already working in your life (often more than you realise).

Then through hypnosis, a deeply relaxing, natural state of focused attention, we help reinforce those positive changes at a subconscious level. This allows your brain to rewire itself in healthier ways, reducing anxiety, improving clarity, and building resilience over time.

What Might a Session Look Like?

Each session is calm, supportive, and structured to help you feel safe and in control. You’ll never be asked to share anything you’re not comfortable with.

We’ll begin by talking through your week… what’s been good that week, we will revisit the brain and how it works, then we will focus on the next weeks goals (they can be as simple as doing the washing up that has been piling up for days). From there, I’ll guide you through a gentle, soothing relaxation session designed to help your mind integrate and process everything we’ve discussed, encouraging calm, clarity, and confidence.

And with each session, change starts to feel less like a struggle… and more like a natural shift.
