About Hurley Hypnotherapy

My name is Rachael Hurley. I am a fully qualified Solution focused hypnotherapist. I have a real passion for helping people make positive changes to their lives….Whether you would like to eradicate unwanted habits or behaviours, find relief from specific emotional issues or have more confidence and self esteem in your life then I am ready to help.

I first experienced hypnotherapy a few years ago when I attended hypnotherapy sessions for Confidence. I had come to a point in my life where I needed and wanted to make changes but felt I couldn’t take the first step alone. Undergoing hypnotherapy helped me identify how I would like my life to be. It helped me recognise and facilitate the resources within to gain the confidence I needed to achieve my goals and move forward with my life.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy utilises the very best of modern practical methods, including elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). The use of such techniques can assist the client to achieve positive and significant changes in their life by resolving unwanted habits, thought patterns and behaviour at a subconscious level.
The key to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is that it does exactly what it says; focuses on finding solutions for what you would like to achieve rather than focus on the problem. This modern approach encourages the subconscious mind to consider new solutions and approaches to a problem and work towards them with the help of hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy deals with the very root of the problem – the way an individual thinks.
