About Me
Meet Vikki — Solution Focused Hypnotherapist in Bishop's Stortford
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines the latest neuroscience with proven therapeutic techniques.
Meet Vikki
Hi, I'm Vikki. I spent years struggling with anxiety and OCD before discovering Solution Focused Hypnotherapy transformed my life. Now I help others in Hertfordshire find the same freedom I did — without having to dig up painful memories.
As someone who's been there, I understand how difficult it is to reach out. You won't be judged, just heard and supported.
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 focus on what you want to achieve rather than dwelling on problems. Using a combination of psychotherapy and hypnosis, I can help you make positive changes quickly and effectively.
During our sessions, I will help you understand how the brain works, why you may be feeling the way you do, and most importantly, what you can do about it. The therapy is relaxing, enjoyable, and extremely effective.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) combines solution focused brief therapy with clinical hypnosis. Rather than analysing problems, we focus on solutions — what you want to achieve and the steps needed to get there.
The hypnosis element involves guided relaxation and focused attention. It's a perfectly natural state — similar to daydreaming — where your subconscious mind is more open to positive suggestions and change.
This combination makes SFH a powerful and effective form of therapy, helping you break negative patterns and build a more positive future.
