Pop culture has made certain ideas more well-known, but it often misrepresents them too. Hypnotherapy, for example, is often portrayed as silly or even scary.
Real-life hypnosis sessions are, perhaps unsurprisingly, nothing like what you might see on screen or stage. For a start, there are actually many different types of hypnotherapy that can be prescribed, depending on your individual conditions, the therapist, and your end goal.
At London Hypnotherapy & NLP, I understand that for someone who’s approaching hypnotherapy for the first time, choosing between different hypnosis processes can be confusing.
This is why I offer various types of hypnotherapy sessions, depending on what challenges you want to overcome. Whether you’re facing addiction, IBS, fear of public speaking, insomnia, or any other life-altering condition, you can take back control of your life and experience lasting results.

What is Curative Hypnotherapy?
Curative hypnotherapy is a clinical hypnosis process that uncovers and resolves the problems you’re experiencing and works towards offering a more permanent solution.
During the curative hypnosis process, your hypnotherapist will delve into the subconscious mind and uncover the psychological origin or emotional trigger behind the problem, like addiction or gambling. This helps restore emotional balance, so you can form healthier cognitive patterns.
Unlike traditional hypnosis, this type of hypnosis works by addressing the root cause, rather than offering symptom management. It’s investigative work that involves exploring the depths of your subconscious mind with the aim of providing a long-lasting solution. Traditional hypnosis techniques, in comparison, often just help with behavioural changes and need to be reinforced after fixed intervals.
If you suffer from anxiety, stress, IBS, phobias, or depression, and you’re wondering about the best hypnotherapy solution for you, curative hypnosis can be highly effective.
In curative hypnotherapy, we understand the why behind the phobia or mental state, as the subconscious mind always has its reasons for the symptoms it shows or behavioural changes it brings about. During our sessions, we’ll collaborate with your subconscious to correct the initial trigger.
How Does the Curative Hypnosis Process Work?
- When you visit LHNLP for hypnotherapy, the curative hypnosis process begins by addressing the challenges you face, as well as your unique symptoms and triggers.
- During the session, I’ll induce you into a trance-like hypnotised state, which, while allowing you to have control, will allow me to explore the subconscious mind.
- By using different techniques such as regression and free association, I’ll help you understand the underlying cause of the issue you’re experiencing.
- Once we’ve identified the trigger, we’ll work towards its resolution and reinforce positive thoughts and coping mechanisms.
Benefits of Curative Hypnotherapy
- As one of the best hypnotherapy solutions, curative hypnotherapy offers long-term solutions rather than just temporary remedies.
- This type of hypnotherapy also helps you improve your emotional resilience, think more clearly, and overcome deep-rooted emotional blocks.
- Curative hypnotherapy can even bring about positive behaviour changes by helping you put a stop to self-limiting and depreciating habits, replace negative thought patterns, and improve your confidence and willpower.
What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution-focused hypnotherapy, as the name suggests, is solution-centric, rather than problem-focused. It combines solution-focused brief hypnotherapy (SFBT) with clinical hypnosis and builds on your existing strengths rather than revisiting past traumas.
As another of the popular types of hypnotherapy, solution-based hypnotherapy helps you move ahead in your life and work by setting goals. It works by reintroducing positive reinforcements and thoughts while you’re in a hypnotised state.
With SFBT, we explore what the client wants to achieve, while the hypnotised state introduces new positive thought patterns.
How Does the Solution-Focused Hypnosis Process Works
- During the initial consultation, we’ll cover your goals, symptoms, and desired resolutions.
- During each session, we’ll use targeted questions to understand what’s gone well and the progress you’re making.
- While you’re in a state of focused concentration, your therapist will introduce positive visualisation cues and future-oriented suggestions.
- To get the best hypnotherapy results, you’ll need to practice self-care and reinforce the things you’ve learned during the session.
Benefits of Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy
- This type of hypnosis is faster and requires fewer sessions than traditional hypnotherapy.
- Solution-focused hypnotherapy can also help calm the sympathetic nervous system, so you feel relaxed and calm.
- It’s based on positive envisioning and helps build momentum with small but clear wins.
- After a few sessions, you should feel more in control of your emotions and break the negative cycle of thought loops, rumination, and avoidance behaviour.
