Talking Therapy Edinburgh
Solution Focused Therapy is a modern way of working to bring about change. It works relatively quickly on the principle that the person is an expert in their own lives. As a therapist, my role is to work with you to help bring about that change. I’ll guide and assist you towards building coping strategies to enable you to deal with whatever is worrying you or making you fearful or anxious. I will help you to move forward with your life, creating positive patterns of behaviour that will serve you better.
What is Solution Focused Therapy?
Solution Focused Therapy is a talking therapy that helps people to achieve positive changes in their lives. Instead of focusing on the problem, we work together to find your solution.
My approach means that you won’t necessarily need to re-visit the past and sometimes painful experiences. Instead, we’ll work together towards your best possible future. I’ll help you set new goals, re-frame behaviours and habits that no longer serve you, and gently guide you.
Sessions are tailored to your individual needs. This helps us to work together to find out what is troubling you and how we can best fix it.
Most people experience significant improvement after just a few sessions. Some may take a little longer. If you haven’t experienced Hypnotherapy before you’re in for treat. My clients tell me that my sessions are relaxing, friendly and enjoyable.
Each Hypnotherapy session is tailored to your individual needs, helping us to work together to find out what is troubling you and then how we can find solutions to address any future worries and challenges and to develop strategies to take you forward towards a happier version of you.
I offer a full range of treatments. These include Solution Focused Therapy techniques with Hypnosis that are proven to treat issues both quickly and in a relaxed setting.
What do we do in a typical session?
Initial session: Our opening session is both a consultation and a getting-to-know-each- conversation. I’ll explain to you how the brain works, and through that, why you’re feeling the way you do and what together we can do about it. You will plot your own treatment path by setting goals and the outcomes you wish to achieve, I’ll help navigate you there.
I will give you a download to take away with you, which you can listen to at night to help you to relax. This is the first step on your journey to recovery.
Regular sessions: Each session will look at what you want to achieve. Together we will work through the challenges, agree coping strategies, set realistic goals, and move towards the best possible outcome for you. If you opt to use Hypnotherapy as part of your treatment, we will use trance to help you to achieve your goals.
Further support away from our sessions:
Between sessions: You will be given a relaxation download to listen to at home. This will enable you to continue our work away from our sessions and include a full mind and body relaxation treatment. By using specialist language we can progress our work with building self-confidence, recognising your inner coping skills and resilience, and helping you to reframe any past experiences in a positive, more confident way. Listening to the download will consolidate our therapy sessions and progress you towards the goal setting ahead.
Please note that as this download includes a full body relaxation it should only be listened to at home in a relaxing environment.
How long does a typical session take?
You can expect a regular session to last an hour. At each session we will talk about what brings you to me today and work together towards your future, positive wellbeing.
