Life never stands still. Every moment brings subtle shifts, new encounters, and unexpected opportunities. As a Solution Focused Practitioners, Coach and Hypnotherapist, I see my role not as creating change. Change is already happening naturally. I help clients see and boost these ongoing changes. Recall a time when worry kept

When we’re feeling stuck, traditional approaches often have us diving deep into analysing why we’re stuck. But what if there was a different way? This is where the Solution Focused approach comes into play, a powerful method that turns traditional problem-solving on its head. In Solution Focused work, whether through

We’ve all been there. It’s frustrating to feel trapped in a situation that seems permanent and unchangeable. A job that no longer fulfils us, a repeating relationship pattern, or an impossible life situation can leave us feeling stuck. It’s an overwhelming feeling. But what’s happening in our brains when we

Bill O’Hanlon and Jim Wilks, in their book “Shifting Contexts,” wrote: “… now and then, in the course of a session, a hypothesis might accidentally enter a therapist’s head, and the best remedy for it is to lie down until it goes away.” Today, I’d like to talk about this

The Power of Interdependence Everything I share on my website, discuss on social media, or practice during sessions stems from the wisdom and teachings of others. I firmly believe in the power of interdependence – the understanding that nothing truly happens in isolation. My journey in hypnotherapy and coaching is

Life coaching is a powerful tool for personal and professional development, offering support and guidance across diverse areas. Whether you’re looking to advance your career, improve your relationships, boost your confidence, or find a better work-life balance, a skilled life coach can help you navigate these challenges and achieve your

Every prominent author has contributed extensively to this topic, so my additions here are likely trivial and redundant. However, some may find the term “brief” in Solution Focused Brief Therapy confusing – does brief mean it’s unsuitable for the so-called “serious” issues? I want to address common misconceptions about what

I want to share my thoughts on the importance of having a good starting point. Let’s imagine a client who is having a tough time. They feel overwhelmed and unable to sleep. They struggle with work and cannot be there for family and friends. Here, a hypnotherapist or any other

I’m sure it’s not surprising to anyone that I enjoy discussing the nuances of the Solution Focused approach. I often apply it in my life, either through journaling or gentle self-reflection. One instance was around my living situation. I’d been in the same drafty flat for eight years. The windows

I thought I’d do something different in this blog. As usual, I invite you to contemplate a particular topic, for now, resolutions. If this is your “thing”, you might even want to do the wee exercise below. You don’t need anything, maybe your phone for writing or pen and paper.

I want to follow up on my previous post about problems and their role in understanding the Solution Focused approach and its role in my hypnotherapy practice. This line from my training at BRIEF stayed with me: “We do not want to detain our clients in their problem stories”. The

I refuse to reduce people to diagnoses, ailments or worst days. We are all far more significant than any label. Yet many initially seek help, feeling defined by an unwanted struggle. I honour their self-perception while gently expanding self-concepts beyond their constraints. My Solution Focused approach explores resources, exceptions, and

The blog is not only about the intricacies of Solution Focused practice. I read other books (I know, shocking!), and I would like to share my thoughts and reflections from time to time about different topics. I recently read an eye-opening concept in the book “Life Isn’t Binary” by Meg-John

When I first heard about offering therapy over the phone, I’ll admit I was sceptical. How could I help others without seeing their facial expressions or body language? But when I reflected on the principles of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) it started to make more sense. SFBT is postmodern

I recently completed a major hypnotherapy project that demanded all my determination and strength to finish on time. Spending long hours hunched over my laptop took me away from loved ones and prevented me from marketing my services. Between this and my (corporate) part-time job’s stresses, focusing only on the

As a professionally trained and certified hypnotherapist, I find using various techniques to help clients reach their desired outcomes very rewarding. However, I’m also aware that our terminology with clients plays a key role in their openness and mindset coming into our sessions. This was highlighted to me recently when

I keep referring to the concept of “language games” in my sessions, so here’s a bit more information about it. It’s central to how I do my work. Disclaimer: I’m not a philosopher. Everything I write here is based on my limited understanding of this super complex idea. Ludwig Wittgenstein

Today, August 22nd, marks eight years since I left my home in Budapest, Hungary and moved to Edinburgh. That hot summer morning, I embarked on a new chapter of my life filled with change and growth. Saying goodbye to Budapest was bittersweet. The city represented so many important memories –

I’m thrilled to launch my new website and especially excited to start sharing my very first blog. Please consider this a gentle invitation to explore topics like Solution Focused practice, how hypnotherapy works, and, most importantly, why I nerd out so much over both.
