Solution Focused Studio

18/10/2022

Solution Focused Practitioners! I have set up a new separate FB page called the Solution Focused Studio for Practitioners (SFSP) which is all about things SF, SFH and supervision.

I recently made video about the origins of SFBT, particularly useful if you're interested in learning more or working your way through your HPD qualification. It's rather epic at 50mins long, but hopefully something of interest and counts toward CPD.

Do head over to the new page and follow us - that way you'll be kept up-to-date with any posts. The video is there for you to watch too.

Do you experience discomfort from IBS? Gut-directed clinical hypnotherapy is one of the options recommended by NICE to people experiencing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) particularly when other avenues of treatment have not had the desired outcome.

At the Solution Focused Studio we stay up-to-date with the latest methods and research, and have offered a specific programme for people with IBS for a number of years with positive outcomes for clients, including clinical hypnosis, self-hypnosis and solution focused brief therapy - a positive type of talking therapy.
We understand that it's not just about physical symptoms but the stress and anxiety that can add significantly to how people are feeling. Our aim is to help you be more in control of it, rather than it being in control of you.

IBS isn't straightforward as each person is an individual; it's a lifelong condition that needs to be managed. But we follow the leading research and use the best tools available - it is truthful to say that there often isn't really a 100% cure for the condition. Quite often it's a mix of medicine, diet and hypnotherapy - however there isn't anyone that we haven't been able to help in some way yet, particularly with getting some of their 'old self' back and understanding the mind-gut connection.

Earlier this year another promising research paper was published by clinicians at the Neurogastroenterology Unit, atWythenshawe Hospital, Manchester showing the positive effects of gut-directed hypnotherapy on patients.

We are so very grateful to have a such a thriving therapy and hypnotherapy practice in our home-town of Farnham….but unfortunately that can also means things like our studio blog and social media posts appear to be somewhat neglected! In fact, we’ve been so busy since the pandemic began that we ...

What have we been doing in our therapy studio over the last month? Here are some of the issues we’ve been helping clients with recently….. any of these surprise you?

Solution Focused Therapy and Hypnotherapy are powerful, evidence-based tools that can be used to support people in making changes in how they think, feel or behave by working directly with thought and behaviour patterns in the brain. That’s why we’re not limited to working with one particular issue or area of support - we work towards the goal that you bring. We specialise in helping people create change.

Not all our clients will need clinical hypnotherapy, sometimes just solution-focused brief therapy (positive talking therapy) with us is the right route and we always cover the science behind why we can experience certain issues. We are using what we know about how the brain works to help us create change as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Our aim is always to help you create the change you want to see, often where other types of therapy or ‘coaching’ have not had the desired effect.

Box breathing is a really useful, practical breathing exercise you can use to help calm the mind and body.
Often, when we are tense, worried or stressed, our breathing becomes quicker or more shallow. This exercise helps to control and slow down your breathing, giving relaxation signals to the body.

For such a simple exercise, it can be very effective and give you the important moments you need to de-escalate, slow down and take a breath. It's also a wonderful exercise to help wind down before sleep. It can be used by adults, teens and children.

This video has been produced by the Solution Focused Studio, Surrey UK. We are a friendly, professional and accredited therapy practice offering solution focused brief therapy and clinical hypnotherapy through in-person and online sessions.

If you've settled into a routine of working from home, are you experiencing 'back to work' anxiety? Here are our top ten tips taken from what we know about the brain and also solutions that were identified as being helpful to our clients during their solution-focused therapy process.

It's no surprise that living through Covid and lockdown has had a toll on mental health and wellbeing. We've been through long periods of being highly restricted on where we can go, what we can do, who we can be with and in most cases, have now adapted to working from home. However, restrictions are...

Yesterday I had the great privilege to be invited to spend the whole day delivering three 'Understanding Anxiety' presentations to around 300 amazing Teachers, Associate Staff and Student Leaders at the outstanding Weydon School in Farnham, Surrey, as part of their ongoing commitment to support mental health and wellbeing awareness in the school.

A legacy of the Student Six Leaders of 2021/22 and positively supported by the Principal, Mrs J Sharman and her team, it was a busy but incredibly rewarding day that also offered the opportunity to introduce Solution-Focused tools to support people who may be experiencing anxiety, panic attacks or overwhelm.

I will be continuing to work with the school as part of this legacy and feel so incredibly inspired by their tremendous commitment to positively support staff, students and parents by raising awareness and understanding of these issues. What a fabulous day!

You don't need to go it alone. Whether it’s cutting back on the alcohol, changing your mindset or dealing with your anxiety – in fact anything that involves changing thought or behaviour patterns – we are a friendly, discreet, professional and accredited therapy practice, using the powerful tools of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to work directly with the brain to help clients move forward and make the changes they want to see.
Alcohol reduction is one of our favourite areas of work, because we tend to see the positive ripple-effects spread to other areas of life too – health, family, relationships and self-esteem to name a few.

The great thing about Solution-Focused Therapy is that it is positive and future-focused, meaning that we don’t need to rake over or analyse the past in order to move forward.

Working with adults and teens, we keep evidence-based practice and the science of the brain at the forefront of everything we do, with a commitment to ongoing high standards of training and ethical practice.

Why not contact us and see how we might help you? Making that call is always the first and most important step…
