Welcome to HYPNITY, the home of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in the Forest of Dean

It’s all about finding the right balance….

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a form of hypnotherapy which blends a modern psychotherapeutic approach, known as Solution Focused Psychotherapy, with the application of Clinical Hypnosis, and I use it to help people feel better and to achieve their goals.

.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

I am trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy. This means that I combine modern psychotherapy with the use of clinical hypnosis to help people achieve positive and constructive changes in their life. The psychotherapy itself is extremely beneficial and with the application of hypnosis we enable the subconscious mind to make the appropriate changes.

The use of psychotherapy is not new, and most people will understand it as a way to help people overcome stress and emotional problems. You might have heard it called “Talking therapy”, because the therapist and client talk together to create strategies to overcome their difficulties.

There are many and varied forms of psychotherapy, and the type of psychotherapy I practise is called Solution Focused Psychotherapy.

Solution Focused Psychotherapy is a forward-looking modality

In Solution Focused Psychotherapy we look forwards rather than backwards, focusing on solutions for the future rather than dwelling on problems of the past. We don’t analyse the problem or why you have it but instead we help you find the solutions.

This is the crucial component of this forward-facing approach, because we don’t expect you to constantly relive the things that have brought you to this point; on the contrary, reliving, retelling and re-experiencing painful or traumatic memories can be very unhelpful to bringing about positive change and is therefore not part of our practice.

Our goal is to get you from where you are and how you feel in the present, to where you want to be and how you would like to feel in the future, and we won’t achieve that by analysing painful memories. So if you have experienced unpleasant events in the past, we respectfully acknowledge them, and then focus on moving forwards.

Clinical Hypnosis

We live in a fast-paced, demanding world with busy lives, daily challenges, and often feel like we are being pulled in all directions. Hypnosis applied in a therapeutic way reduces anxiety and calms the mind, acting as a buffer, like First Aid for the perpetually busy. And for those experiencing symptoms of stress and anxiety it can offer very effective relief.

Hypnotherapy can help with so many things, including:

So what happens next?

This is not an exhaustive list, so please call me to arrange a free initial consultation (which includes a relaxation recording to use at home) so that we can discuss your own situation in more depth. I’d like to help.

Believing in myself

 “Going to the hypnotherapy sessions really helped me to change my mindset and how I looked at things, it taught me about believing in myself and now I feel like I can turn any negative event into a positive event, it also aided in recovering from an addiction and above all else helped with my underlying anxiety issues. It has boosted my confidence massively."

Completely changed my outlook

Recent update received from a client who finished some months ago: “I'm really in a good place and feel very strongly that the work you did with me has completely changed my outlook. I've started my new job and the positive attitude that I possess is making this really easy to fit in and learn the new role. I've started seeing someone new who jokes that my positivity is like a religion to me. I have recommended you to everyone because there are so many people that could benefit from the work you do.”

Above and Beyond

“Thank you so much for helping me through one of the most challenging times of my life. Your knowledge, expertise and kind nature helped me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I have gained back control of my life, my self-esteem has grown and my confidence is going from strength to strength. With the techniques that I have learnt and my new relaxed attitude, I will ensure that I carry them with me into the future and use them whenever necessary. Michele goes 'Above and Beyond' highly recommended, thank you again.”

A warm and very sincere person

"Initially, I contacted Michele to make enquiries on behalf of a friend. When I spoke to Michele she explained the way she worked and what would be involved and I realised at the point that Hypnotherapy would be a great benefit to me also so I asked for an appointment.

After my Mother passed away I lost my confidence, I found it difficult to go out and about as before and I became anxious and fearful and small things that challenged me could bring on the anxiety which could last for a few days. I also lost my ability to be sociable and mix with people, I stayed at home most of the time and even going for a weekly shop was sometimes too much. My energy dropped and I found it difficult to motivate myself – I was in a dark place.

From the outset I found the sessions tremendously helpful. Michele is a warm and very sincere person and she has created a calm and safe space for her Therapy Sessions.

Highly recommend

"I have received such a huge benefit from a series of hypnotherapy sessions with Michele. My confidence has gone through the roof and the old patterns of anxiety and self-criticism are no longer issues in my life. I found Michele a very calming and grounding presence and guided me through the process in a gentle and fun way. I highly recommend Michele's work to others, especially if you wish to really shift a lot of old patterns and grow into being the best version of yourself. Thank you Michele for helping me really thrive and experience more joy in my life!"

Life changing

"Dear Michele, Thank you so much for all you have done for me. Sometimes in life you are fortunate enough to meet someone who will be of huge significance to you. Someone who you will never forget. Michele you are all this to me! I am such a different person now. My holiday last week was wonderful. I walked with total freedom. I talked to everyone without anxiety. I was calm and relaxed and was able to be just in the moment without worry. I was happy. There are some difficult times ahead but I feel in a good place to deal with them. Michele our sessions have been life changing, you will always have my thanks and every time I go for a walk I will think of you and the gift you have given me."

Back to my normal self

"I found the sessions beneficial. They helped me see and continue to see the positive. I feel back to my normal self. I will use the recording in the future as it’s very effective. Michele’s voice & tone is very soothing and welcoming. I also appreciated the concept involved. I related to the intellectual & primitive brain. I think it’s an important part of the session to reinforce this. Many thanks, Michele. You are perfect for this type of therapy."

More at ease, more positive

"Each week I go, I see an improvement in my mental state. I am less reactive to situations, I feel more at ease, I think clearly and feel more positive. Michele is an excellent practitioner, her voice is soothing and she keeps me focused on what is good in my life. The CD has been so valuable; when I know my stress bucket is full I listen to the CD and feel the change in my mind and body,  I feel so much better afterwards. Thank you."
