About Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

  • Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines talking therapy with hypnosis. The approach focuses on your preferred future, your strengths, and the small, positive steps that may help you move towards the changes you want.

  • No. You don’t need to have everything worked out before contacting us. Your initial consultation is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to us, ask questions, and explore what you would like support with.

  • No. During the trance part of a session, you remain aware and in control. Your practitioner guides you through the process, and you can speak up or ask questions if you need to.

  • No. You remain in control throughout the session. Hypnosis is not about handing control to someone else; your practitioner will guide you and explain what to expect.

  • People seek support for a range of concerns and life circumstances, including anxiety and worry, stress, confidence, phobias, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. Everyone’s situation is different, so we’ll discuss your needs and whether our approach may be suitable for you.

Consultations & Sessions

  • Your initial consultation is a chance for your chosen practitioner to get to know you, understand what has brought you to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, answer your questions and discuss how the approach may be able to support you. There is no trance during this appointment.

  • No. There is no obligation to book further sessions. The consultation gives you an opportunity to decide whether the approach and your chosen practitioner feel right for you. The £65 consultation fee is non-refundable.

  • A regular Solution Focused Hypnotherapy session is approximately 50 minutes, usually including around 25 minutes of talk therapy followed by around 25 minutes of trance.

  • There isn’t one fixed number of sessions that suits everyone. Your practitioner will discuss your needs and goals with you, and you can review your progress together as you go.

  • Clients receive an audio recording to listen to between sessions. Your practitioner will explain how and when to use it and answer any questions you may have.

  • Yes. All sessions at Sorava Minds take place online, allowing you to access Solution Focused Hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own home. You’ll need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet, private space where you can sit comfortably without interruptions.

  • Yes. Online sessions provide a convenient way to access Solution Focused Hypnotherapy from a familiar and comfortable environment. Sessions follow the same general structure, with time to talk with your practitioner, explore your progress, and focus on the changes you would like to make, followed by guided trance work.

    Everyone’s experience is different, but our aim is to provide a supportive, personalised experience that helps you work towards your goals.

Choosing Your Practitioner

  • Yes. Karen and Gina work independently within Sorava Minds, and you can choose which practitioner you would prefer to work with. You can read their individual profiles before deciding.

  • No. You will usually have your initial consultation and ongoing sessions with the practitioner you choose, rather than meeting with both practitioners.

Fees and Payment

  • Ongoing sessions cost £65 per session.

  • Yes. A block of four ongoing sessions are available for £240, which works out at £60 per session. This is an optional discounted payment for booking four ongoing sessions together.
