It is normal to remember most, but not all, of the hypnotherapy session. This is due to the way that memory works. If you think about it we wouldn’t be able to remember all of a long speech but we would remember some of it. This is the same within Hypnosis.

Within Solution Focused Hypnotherapy we always look to the future. It is not a talking therapy based on delving into the past and analysing past events. Instead, we focus on the positive characteristics of a person’s life to enable them to move forward and create the changes they desire. The process is a partnership between therapist and client, with the understanding that the client holds the answers to their problems, they just require help to access them.

The sessions start with a summary of what has been positive for the client since the last meeting, then an explanation of how the brain works in relation to the client’s issue, followed by future goal setting and how those goals could be achieved. After this the client is guided into deep relaxation and trance.
