Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
''A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step''
About
At First Step Therapy, I use a modern, solution focused approach, that works! Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is supported by the latest, up to date neuroscience. We will work together to help you move forwards in life towards your goals, without having to dig up the past.
We determine where you are now, and where you would like to be.
It is a positive, talking therapy with hypnosis. Hypnosis, is very ordinary in many ways. We all go in and out of it many times a day, when we concentrate on something, like watching television or driving a regular route. It is a relaxed, focused state that allows us to access the subconscious mind which enables you to get the very best out of yourself. You have full control and are not under the control of the therapist. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works relatively quickly with very positive results. I believe that you already have the resources and skills to find the solutions to your problems and we will work together to find those solutions.

My name is Vikki. I am a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and I own First Step Therapy. I trained with CPHT Essex and hold the DSFH (CPHT) and HPD (National Council of Hypnotherapy) diplomas. I have an Enhanced DBS certificate and I am fully insured.
As someone who struggled most of my life with anxiety, low self-esteem and OCD, I understand just how difficult it can be to reach out for help. You can be confident that I will help you to feel at ease and you will not feel judged but understood and heard. Having had Solution Focused Hypnotherapy myself, knowing just how powerful this amazing therapy is, I am passionate about helping people find the joy in life again.

Stress/Anxiety/Depression
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a powerful approach that can significantly help individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. It is typically a brief therapy that works, often requiring fewer sessions than traditional therapies.

Confidence/Self-esteem
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a unique blend of therapeutic techniques that can significantly enhance confidence and self-esteem ​
The therapy emphasizes setting small, realistic goals that are attainable. Achieving these goals can significantly boost self-confidence and provide a sense of accomplishment.

Phobias
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for overcoming phobias. This approach combines the principles of solution-focused therapy with the calming effects of hypnotherapy.

IBS
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can be a highly effective approach for managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This method combines the principles of solution-focused therapy with the calming effects of hypnotherapy, making it particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with IBS symptoms.

OCD
One of the primary benefits of Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is its ability to reduce the anxiety that often fuels OCD. You will develop coping strategies and resilience against compulsive behaviours, making it easier to manage intrusive thoughts.

Weight management/
Eating disorders
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool for both weight management and eating disorder recovery, offering a unique approach that focuses on building positive habits and empowering individuals to take control of their relationship with food.

Insomnia
Solution- Focused Hypnotherapy can be a gentle and effective way to address insomnia, promoting a more restful and restorative sleep experience. It empowers individuals to take control of their sleep patterns and create a more peaceful and rejuvenating night's rest.

Addictions
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool in addressing addictions by promoting positive change and empowering individuals to regain control over their behaviours. By tapping into the subconscious mind, SFH helps individuals access their inner motivation for change. This can lead to a stronger commitment to overcoming their addiction and pursuing a healthier lifestyle.

Autoimmune
Promoting positive change, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy encourages individuals to visualize a healthier future and develop a more positive relationship with their bodies. This can foster motivation for lifestyle changes that support overall health. SFH can serve as a complementary approach to traditional treatments, helping individuals manage the psychological and emotional aspects of autoimmune diseases.
