Solution focused therapy for habits and phobias in Cheltenham
Retraining the brain’s automatic responses
Available in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and online across the UK.
An unhelpful habit or a persistent fear can slowly make your world feel smaller.
Whether it's a vape that feels impossible to put down or a sudden spike of panic at the thought of a flight, needle, or spider, your brain is simply running an automatic pattern it learned somewhere along the way.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps retrain that automatic response, so the habit or fear no longer calls the shots.
How unhelpful habits and fears take hold
The brain is remarkably good at protecting us, but sometimes its security system gets a bit overzealous.
When you smoke, vape, or react to a specific trigger, your primitive brain steps in. In recognises a familiar loop, tags it as safe or necessary, and hits replay on autopilot. Willpower alone often feels like hard work because you’re fighting a subconscious response that’s trying to keep you safe.
Understanding how your brain creates these loops is where real change begins. We don’t spend time raking over the past or dwelling on where things went wrong. Instead, we focus on quietening that automatic response so your intellectual brain can take back control.
Working together - clear practical options
Quit Smoking or Vaping
One session. Done.
You already know the reasons to stop - the health, the cost, the way it's started to feel less like a choice and more like a habit running on autopilot. This is a single, extended two-hour session using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to help you think of yourself as a non-smoker, rather than someone constantly resisting the urge to smoke.
This includes:
A relaxed, unhurried two-hour session
Time to talk through your history with smoking or vaping and what's kept it going
Guidance to take away and reinforce the change afterwards.
This works as a single, standalone session, no separate consultation needed first.

Phobia and fears
A phobia can shrink your world in ways that feel completely out of proportion to the thing itself, whether its a flight, a needle, or a spider. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps retrain the automatic response your brain has learned, so the fear no longer calls the shots.
