Ten years ago, I found myself in the midst of an extremely stressful period in my life. As a mother to two children, who were then much younger, and juggling the demands of daily life, I suddenly felt as though I was losing control. Panic attacks became a regular, unwelcome visitor, leaving me feeling vulnerable and unsure of how to move forward. I knew something had to change, but I wasn’t sure where to start.
In my search for answers, I came across the CPHT Hypnotherapy Training Course, a discovery that would ultimately change the course of my life. What drew me in was the promise of understanding the reasons behind my feelings of anxiety and panic. What I found was not just an explanation, but also a set of tools that would empower me to navigate through life’s challenges with resilience and optimism.
The Power of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a remarkable approach that shifts the focus away from problems and towards solutions. Rather than dwelling on the past, it encourages clients to imagine and work towards their preferred future. This approach was a revelation to me. It wasn’t about reliving the stress or anxiety but about visualising and creating a positive pathway forward.
During my training with CPHT Guildford (now Surrey), I learned how our brains work, particularly how they respond to stress and anxiety. I discovered that much of what I was experiencing was a result of my mind’s natural response to feeling overwhelmed. SFH gave me a framework to understand these responses and, more importantly, to change them.
As I applied these techniques to my own life, I noticed a significant shift. My panic attacks subsided, and I began to feel more in control of my thoughts and emotions. The tools I acquired through my training didn’t just help me; they also improved my ability to support my children as they grew and make decisions for my future. I became more patient, more present, and more equipped to handle the ups and downs of parenting.
A New Chapter: Becoming a Senior Lecturer
My journey didn’t stop at personal transformation. The impact SFH had on my life inspired me to share this powerful approach with others. After completing my training, I began practicing as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, helping clients overcome their own challenges and build better futures. For the last 9 years I have had the privilege of supporting many inspirational individuals who have chosen to work with me. More recently, since 2020 and COVID I have, due to personal experience, found a specialist interest in supporting individuals and their carers who are experiencing poor relationships with food.
As my confidence and experience grew, so did my desire to teach others. Today, I am proud to be a Senior Lecturer for both CPHT Surrey and CPHT Hampshire, where I have the privilege of training the next generation of Solution Focused Hypnotherapists. Watching my students learn, grow, and eventually transform the lives of their own clients is incredibly rewarding.
