Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Conversion Course
Implementing Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Techniques for Practicing Hypnotherapists
Would you like to have an opportunity to help clients without even knowing what their problems are?
Our conversion diploma course is designed for suitably qualified hypnotherapists looking to move towards or expand their therapeutic services with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Based on the teachings of a highly regarded Hypnotherapist who founded Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) David Newton, Director, Chairman and retired Lecturer at CPHT.
Understanding Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) has evolved from the core tenets of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), utilising key techniques to help people move forward positively in their lives, without the need to analyse problems of the past.
It encourages clients to identify what is currently working well, drawing on the client’s inner resources to achieve their preferred future. This powerful, positively oriented approach enables clients to develop their own solutions and identify tangible steps they can take towards a successful outcome. This is a very simple technique, although not necessarily an easy one.
The Solution Focused work is enhanced with the use of hypnosis, incorporating relaxation and guided visualisation. Like most Hypnotherapy modalities, SFH can help with many conditions, primarily those that are caused by, or made worse by, anxiety. Including: panic attacks, sleep disorders, skin conditions and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), confidence, self-esteem, phobias and trauma and much more.
Based on the latest research, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy draws on the latest finding in neuroscience and brain-based therapies, utilising the brain’s plasticity to create more helpful patterns of behaviour.
SFH is popular amoung therapists because we are dealing with moving clients forward and encouraging problem-free talk. Not analysing problems of the past. As a result, we often feel more energised and uplifted at the end of the working day too. A pretty good side-effect of helping people.
