Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that accesses the subconscious mind, allowing you to make profound changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This method can effectively treat anxiety, depression, phobias, and even chronic pain. By promoting relaxation and focusing on positive suggestions, hypnotherapy helps you develop healthier patterns, increasing your overall well-being.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. This method encourages clients to envision their desired future and identify the steps needed to reach it. SFBT is effective for various issues, including relationship problems, personal development, and goal achievement.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns. It’s effective for conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT equips you with practical strategies to tackle challenges, improve emotional regulation, and enhance problem-solving skills.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the moment. It cultivates awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, allowing you to manage stress and anxiety effectively. Through mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises, you can improve focus and enhance emotional resilience.

Human Givens Therapy

Human Givens Therapy is a holistic approach that integrates various psychological insights to address emotional and psychological needs. This therapy focuses on understanding your unique needs and how unmet needs can lead to emotional distress. By identifying these needs, we help you create effective strategies for fulfilment and well-being.

Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional Therapy focuses on the connection between diet and mental well-being. By assessing your nutritional habits, we can identify how food choices impact your mood and overall health. Tailoring dietary plans to your individual needs helps promote physical and emotional balance, leading to improved mental clarity and resilience.

In conclusion

At Oxford Hypnotherapy, our diverse range of therapies is designed to empower you on your journey to mental wellness. Each approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring a comprehensive path to healing and growth.
