About Solution Focused Therapy
What is solution focused therapy?
Solution-focused therapy is a modern, practical approach to working towards change. It focuses on what life might look like if things were even just a little better, rather than dwelling on what feels difficult or stuck. Instead of analysing the problem in depth, the process starts by looking at your strengths, your resources and your hopes for the future.
When we shift the conversation in this way, it becomes easier to notice what is already working. We begin to build on those moments, no matter how small, and that change often feels more natural and achievable as a result.
The conversations in solution-focused therapy are structured around purposeful questions. These are designed to help you gain clarity, reconnect with your own sense of direction, and gently bring your attention back to what matters most to you.
This approach doesn’t offer advice or tell you what to do. Instead, it gives you the space to explore what you would like to move towards, and supports you in finding manageable steps that fit with your life as it is now.

How does solution focused therapy work?
The process begins by identifying your best hopes for change. This gives us a clear direction to work with, and something meaningful to refer back to as progress unfolds. It helps create a sense of purpose and allows the work to stay focused on what feels relevant and useful to you.
From there, we explore the times when the problem is less present, or when you feel more like your usual self. These small signs of progress can be easy to miss, especially in the middle of difficulty, but they often hold the key to change.
We also spend time noticing what is already going well, however small or ordinary it may seem. These moments show us what is possible, and often provide a foundation to build on in practical and manageable ways.
Each session is a conversation, shaped around your goals and your experience. The aim is always to support you in finding ways forward that feel natural, grounded and right for where you are now.
I have been working with Nick for several months now and find him to be extremely professional, supportive and motivational. Each of our sessions were positive and enjoyable and despite being slightly apprehensive at first, I began to feel the benefits almost straight away and continue to do so now. With Nick’s help and support I have become more positive and self confident, managing to deal with my negative self beliefs once and for all, after years of letting them control my life. I would recommend Nick to anyone.
I can’t recommend Nick enough. I wasn’t too sure whether he could help but he definitely did! I saw him as, after a nasty incident, I was having panic attacks during open water swim races and they are completely gone now. Nick has a great manner about him which puts you at ease and I think it really helped that he’s a keen sportsman himself. Thoroughly recommended!
Nick has been the best therapist that I have had. A great guy, and I recommend him to anyone going through something and trying to make it better. Cheers Nick.
I have been seeing Nick now for 9 sessions and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the first session he made me feel at ease and I have really enjoyed the experience. It has helped to improve my sleep patterns as well as my patience! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nick for all his work so far – I know that we have even bigger plans in the future to help with self development and I am really excited by this!
Working with Nick was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Slightly hesitant/sceptical of hypnotherapy to begin with, Nick put me at ease from the outset and made truly transformative changes to my thinking and approach to certain day to day activities that I was struggling with. Would recommend!
I had bad anxiety and was always overthinking. But after just one session I started to notice a difference. Never thought hypnotherapy could help me with my anxiety AND insomnia but all have changed and I’m now doing so much better all round.
The best hypnotherapist I have been working with. Nick is compassionate, present and will certainly help you relax and feel nourished. Highly recommended!
Grazie Nick!
As soon as I spoke to Nick on the phone, I knew things were about to start being better. His enthusiasm for your progress is infectious and that is a huge part of the process. As a therapist you can be the best deliverer of trance scripts but if the rapport is not there, the therapy will go nowhere. With Nick you immediately get the impression you are being professionally listened to, intensely, and that is so reassuring. He pushes you along and upwards into the right zone, until to get you where you want to be. The sessions were all a delight and they were the highlight of my week!
Cannot recommend Nick enough. I saw him for low mood and low self esteem. Since he treated me I have gone on to start my own business and it’s going really well. I don’t believe I would have been brave enough to do this without Nicks help. He’s a game changer. And a really lovely guy.
