 Paul Smith - Solution-focussed HypnotherapistMNCH Lic NCP AffSometimes we just don’t realise when the pressures of life are getting on top of us until the strain begins to tell. We may suffer from stress, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, insomnia, depression, and physical problems, such as migraines or IBS. But often our own behaviour patterns and negative thinking play an important role, leaving us unable to cope Helping You Find SolutionsMy program of hypnotherapy and solution-focussed brief therapy can help you to change these thought and behaviour patterns. This makes a positive difference to the way you react, enabling you to cope so much better with life's challenges. An important part of it is helping you to discover or create for yourself what you really want from life. Solution focussed therapy is also recognised as one of the most successful interventions (combined with medication if needed) in the treatment of depression and all types of anxiety. One of the great advantages of solution-focussed therapy is that there is no requirement to look at past memories or go through painful emotional 'stuff' in order to get better. And good results can often be achieved surprisingly quickly. Some of the conditions that I can treat are: Stress
Anxiety
Exam nerves
Phobias
Depression
Insomnia
Low self-esteem
OCD
Confidence
Social anxiety
Weight control
Stop smoking
Solution-focussed hypnotherapy is an effective way to make positive changes in a short period of time compared to more traditional counseling methods. For example, a course of therapy for depression often requires around 8 to 10 sessions. Exam nerves, driving test anxiety, and simple fears or phobias (spiders, flying, etc) can usually be treated in around 3 sessions.
Solution focussed therapy can have a profound effect on the way our problems, whether past, present or future, are both viewed and dealt with. Often there is a major re-evaluation or a change of perspective. It is a great route to enabling you to become the person you were always meant to be.
