About Hypnotherapy
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern form of therapy that uses practical, well-researched strategies to help people make meaningful, positive changes in a relatively short time.
Rooted in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and hypnosis, this unique blend of therapies was developed by David Newton, the founder of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), in the 1980s and has gained significant global recognition.
SFH is supported by a wealth of evidence showing its effectiveness. This approach focuses on the present and future, rather than analysing past problems. In the sessions I use specially designed 'Solution Focused' questions that encourage you to concentrate on the outcomes you want, the steps to get there, and the differences those changes will make.
In SFH, hypnotherapy helps you relax deeply and enter a state of focused concentration. Many people describe it as similar to daydreaming or getting lost in a good book. While you may feel deeply relaxed, the subconscious parts of your mind are actively working on a plan to help you achieve the goals we've discussed.
Sessions are usually enjoyable and leave you feeling relaxed, energised, and motivated. You’ll walk away feeling positive about your progress and inspired by the possibilities ahead.

“In just five sessions, I went from being terrified of flying to managing it calmly. I recently flew to Greece and back without constant worry, I listened to Abbi’s MP3 and actually fell asleep on the plane! I’m so much more confident about flying now - highly recommend Abbi.”
— Jim, Cardiff
“Through my hypnotherapy sessions with Abbi, I have found the confidence to pursue an ADHD diagnosis. I finally feel that I understand why I have struggled with so many things throughout my life. I plan to continue seeing Abbi on and off, as her kind and flexible approach has been invaluable.”
- Vanessa, Bristol
“My daughter saw Abbi for weekly and then fortnightly sessions over about five months. We initially sought support because of friendship issues and low self-esteem. Abbi was absolutely lovely, and my daughter really enjoyed her sessions. Over time, her confidence grew, and she found the strength to step away from a toxic friendship and build new, healthier ones. She now seems so much happier in many aspects of her life. I couldn’t recommend Abbi enough.
