A little bit of background on Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines the techniques of hypnotherapy with a solution-focused mindset. It encourages clients to focus on their goals, strengths, and resources rather than dwelling on their problems or past traumas. This approach has been found to be effective in helping clients overcome a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and addiction.
One of the leading figures in the field of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is David Newton. Newton has been practicing hypnotherapy for over two decades and has dedicated himself to teaching and training others in this powerful therapeutic approach. He is the founder of the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), which offers a comprehensive training program for aspiring hypnotherapists.
I had the privilege of studying and training at CPHT under David Newton's principles, and I can attest to the effectiveness of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in helping clients achieve positive and lasting change. One of the key principles of this approach is the focus on the solution rather than the problem. By shifting the client's focus towards their desired outcomes and strengths, rather than on their difficulties, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy empowers clients to create positive changes in their lives.
As I continue to practice Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I am grateful for the guidance and inspiration I have received from CPHT. The Clinical empowering approach of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has truly transformed my practice and the lives of my clients, and I look forward to continuing to help others achieve their goals and lead fulfilling lives.

The Historical Origins of Hypnosis Across Cultures
While hypnosis as we know it today emerged from 19th-century psychology, similar practices of inducing altered states of consciousness can be found across cultures dating back thousands of years. These early methods laid the foundation for modern hypnotherapy by exploring the mind-body connection and the power of suggestion.
1. Ancient Egypt: Healing Through Sleep Temples
In ancient Egypt, priests practiced trance induction within sleep temples, sacred spaces where individuals sought healing. Through rituals, rhythmic chanting, and incantations, priests guided people into altered states, believing that divine messages and spiritual healing could be accessed during these trances. This practice reflects an early understanding of how the mind can influence the body, a core principle in hypnotherapy.
2. Ancient Greece: The Power of Mental Influence
The ancient Greeks were also aware of the mind's role in physical health. Hippocrates, regarded as the father of modern medicine, and Plato, a renowned philosopher, discussed how mental suggestion could impact behavior and well-being. Their work emphasized the mind-body connection, forming a conceptual bridge that would later be explored in hypnosis.
3. India: Meditation and Altered States of Consciousness
Ancient Indian texts, such as the Vedas, describe deep meditation techniques that mirror the trance states achieved in hypnosis. These spiritual practices were used not only for enlightenment but also for mental clarity and emotional healing. Meditation shares many similarities with hypnosis, including the ability to access deeper layers of consciousness and reprogram thought patterns.
4. China: Consciousness in Traditional Medicine
In China, traditional practices like acupuncture and meditation were developed to restore balance within the body and mind. By inducing altered states of consciousness, these methods sought to promote healing and inner peace. The calming effects of meditation in particular parallel the relaxation response achieved in hypnotherapy.
5. The Druids: Spiritual Trance in Celtic Culture
In ancient Celtic society of Ireland and Wales, the Druids—spiritual leaders and healers—practiced techniques such as rhythmic drumming, chanting, and guided visualisation to induce trance states. These trances were used for divination, healing, and connecting with the spiritual world. Their understanding of altered states of consciousness and the power of suggestion prefigured modern hypnotic techniques.
6. Mesmerism: The Foundation of Modern Hypnosis
In the 18th century, Franz Anton Mesmer developed a theory called animal magnetism, proposing that a magnetic fluid flowed through living beings. Although his theory was later discredited, Mesmer’s method of inducing trances through suggestion was groundbreaking. His work inspired early hypnotists and laid the groundwork for what would eventually become clinical hypnosis.
The Evolution of Hypnotherapy: From Psychology to Modern Practice
The practices of ancient cultures—and later the experiments of Mesmer—demonstrated how the mind influences the body. However, hypnosis truly began to evolve as a formal psychological tool in the mid-19th century. Influential figures such as Sigmund Freud, Pierre Janet, and Alfred Binet explored its potential in treating anxiety, trauma, and phobias. Over time, researchers and clinicians refined hypnosis, leading to its acceptance in modern psychology and medicine. Today, it is recognised as a safe and effective method to promote mental clarity, emotional well-being, and personal growth.

The Neuroscience Behind Hypnotherapy: How It Works
Understanding the brain’s structure can provide valuable insights into how hypnotherapy creates lasting change. The brain consists of two main areas:
- Primal Brain (Limbic System):
The limbic system governs emotions, instincts, and survival responses. It reacts to stimuli based on past experiences, often without conscious thought. Negative emotions and behaviors—such as fear, anxiety, and self-sabotage—originate here, making it difficult to change them through rational thinking alone. - Intellectual Brain (Neocortex):
The neocortex is responsible for rational thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving. However, it often struggles to override the automatic emotional responses generated by the primal brain.
How Hypnotherapy Rewires the Brain
Hypnotherapy works by inducing a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, quieting the intellectual brain and allowing direct access to the primal brain. In this state, the subconscious mind becomes highly receptive to positive suggestions, enabling us to unlearn harmful patterns and replace them with healthier behaviors. Over time, this rewiring creates a new mental framework that supports emotional well-being and personal success.
