Solution Focused therapy

What to Expect

Solution focused hypnotherapy is for anyone who wants to make a change in their life. The focal point of the therapy is the solution not the problem. Thinking about how your child wants things to be helps them focus on the future, they’ll come away from each session feeling lighter and empowered to make a change. It’s a life changing therapy that can help with a whole range of issues such as anxiety, anger, depression, OCD, grief, separation anxiety, phobias, IBS, anything that is causing a problem for your child living their life. I’ll help them to focus on how they want things to be. From the very first session, they’ll learn how their mind works and why they feel the way they do. They’ll be empowered with the neuroscience of how their brain works and why they feel the way they do and that will help enormously in making the changes they want to make.

    D has felt understood by you from the very beginning. Having gone from having panic attacks, disturbed sleep and lots of worries which were really impacting his daily life, he is now a much happier boy- back to his old self, but stronger I think, as he has learnt how to manage fears. You have also given us a shared language to use. When his excessive handwashing was really affecting his eating and his weight, we were able to talk as a family about his boss brain. He found it difficult but it was a real moment of change and his being able to apply what he had learnt. You have really have had such an impact on his quality of life. He will be sad to finish sessions with you as he likes spending time with you so much but agrees that he is ready.

    Louisa makes me feel so happy because she always listens to me and lets me talk and talk. I didn't know I had a boss brain and a guard brain before and now when I feel anxious I try to get my boss brain back in charge and this helps me

  • Year 4 parent.

    Our 7 year old child had sessions over 8 months with Louisa and the difference in his world has been HUGE. As a family we can all see how measurably impactful things have been for him as a result of his sessions with Louisa and the best part of this is that he recognises impact himself . Our son used to regularly feel completely overwhelmed by his anxiety and was unable to enjoy parts of his life at home, school and socially. He now has the language to articulate how he feels, to make sense of those feelings and the tools to find a way to feel more control.  Through this awareness he has taught us, his family,  what support he needs and the language he needs us to use too. We are so incredibly proud of our son for throwing himself into these sessions but know that he was only able to do this because Louisa helped him to feel safe and to be able to trust in her as a therapist. Our son knows that Louisa is always very proud of him too, that she genuinely cares about his interests and his world. We could not recommend Lousia more highly.

    Louisa is a highly skilled therapist and the impact she has had on the children she has worked with has been significant. All the children have made progress with their SEMH needs, using the strategies that Louisa has equipped them with. Louisa is highly dependable, professional, organised, dedicated and a joy to work along side. She is highly empathetic and communicates clearly with families and children alike. Children always enjoy their sessions with her and are able to talk about their new skills and strategies. I can not recommend Louisa highly enough.
