Andrew Major HPD, DSFH

Hello, I’m Andrew Major, professional Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. If stress and anxiety related issues are affecting your quality of life, I’m here to help you recover and restore your mental and physical well-being so you can get your life back on track. I can work with you online or in person at my clinic.

How can Solution Focused Hypnotherapy help you?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern and effective technique combining psychotherapy techniques and clinical hypnotherapy; a safe, powerful psycho-therapeutic tool which can help with a wide range of conditions that are emotional in origin:

• Anxiety & Stress
• Sleep & Insomnia
• Depression and Low Mood
• Confidence & Self Esteem
• Fears & Phobias
• Anger Management
• Addictions and Stop Smoking
• Weight Management
• Motivation & Performance
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Pain Management

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist and several sessions are often required. If you’re considering hypnotherapy, it’s important to understand that it is a collaborative process. Change happens because you want it to happen and when you’re ready and motivated to take steps towards making those changes.

About Andrew

I’m passionate about what I do, what could be more rewarding than helping people make the positive changes they need to feel better, happier and more motivated to enjoy life? I’m a qualified and professional Clinical Hypnotherapist with a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, (DSFH). I’ve also been awarded the prestigious Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD), considered to be the ‘gold standard’ hypnotherapy qualification. I’m committed to the highest standards, update my skills regularly and adhere to a code of professional conduct. I’ve always been fascinated by the human mind. I first became interested in helping people reach their true potential having spent many years in my corporate marketing career managing and coaching people to recognise and release their own potential. It showed me the benefits this had on general emotional well-being and productivity, which sparked my interest in doing more to help. As a result, I’m now enjoy sharing the positive benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and helping many clients overcome obstacles, feel more motivated and generally gain a better enjoyment of life.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern combination of psychotherapy techniques and hypnosis. It’s based on the latest research from neuroscience and incorporates the very best elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming. My approach harnesses a powerful combination of three key techniques that can help you make the positive changes you need to feel better and move forward:

Solution Focused Brief Therapy – Together we’ll focus on where you want to be and what you want to achieve in life. This doesn’t involve talking about or dwelling on the past, instead I support you in finding the small positive steps that you can take towards your preferred future.

Brain Based Therapy – Using the latest research from medical neuroscience and explaining how our minds creates unwanted, negative behaviours and symptoms. This knowledge will help you understand why we feel the way we do and what you can do about it. As you take control and think better, you’ll find it easier to approach everyday life from a more logical perspective.

Hypnotherapy – Using guided relaxation to encourage you into a focused state of attention, helping your mind relax and focus on thoughts and suggestions that might be useful to you to bring about therapeutic change at a subconscious level. It is a safe, proven and effective tool to achieve lasting positive change and a pleasant relaxing experience.

If you’d like to find out more, please contact me to discuss further or to book your initial consultation. The initial consultation is our chance to explore how you’d like hypnotherapy to help you and agree what we aim to achieve. I’ll explain a little about how the mind works helping you understand why you have been feeling the way you have and how you can move forward in a positive way. You’ll also receive a free relaxation CD or mp3 to take home which supports the process.
