What is solution-focused coaching?
Solution-focused coaching is a goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify and achieve their desired outcomes by focusing on solutions rather than problems.

What can I expect during a coaching session?
During a coaching session, I will work with you to identify your goals, remaining solution focused, and help you develop an action plan to unlock your potential and achieve your desired outcomes. What sets Langham Coaching apart from other coaching modalities, is the use of trance to help you get the very best from yourself, by enabling you to access deeper mental resources, reduce psychological barriers, and visualise solutions more clearly and effectively.

Can coaching help with sports performance or career development?
Yes, solution-focused coaching can be very effective in helping clients with sports performance career development, including setting goals, improving skills, and navigating career transitions. Please get in touch with me to discuss your situation and what you would like to improve, or book a free no obligation initial consultation now.

What is solution Focused hypnotherapy and how does it work?
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines hypnosis with solution-focused brief therapy to help people achieve positive changes by focusing on their desired outcomes rather than their problems. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation (or trance) and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, which can be really powerful in helping you make positive changes in behaviour and thought patterns.

Can hypnotherapy help with stress and anxiety? And what else?
Absolutely yes! By helping you manage your thoughts and reactions, hypnotherapy is a really effective tool for reducing stress and anxiety as well as for addressing a variety of other issues including depression, phobias, weight management, smoking cessation, addiction and more.

Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe and effective treatment when conducted by a trained and qualified practitioner.

Are online coaching or hypnotherapy sessions available?
Yes, I offer online coaching or hypnotherapy sessions for clients who prefer remote appointments.

How many sessions will I need?

Do I need a referral from my GP to see a solution focused hypnotherapist?
