Birkdale Hypnotherapy

Birkdale Hypnotherapy Catherine Eland, Clinical Hypnotherapist. SFTA Founder Hypnosis is a powerful technique for affecting change. My clinics are based in Southport and online.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines the latest methods of Solution Focused Brief Therapy with Clinical Hypnotherapy to create a powerful modern technique that enables positive change quickly and effectively. Through focusing on the present and moving forward positively we can achieve major changes and improvements through gaining control of our thoughts, our feelings and our behaviour. Through

deep relaxation and trance we bring both the conscious mind and sub-conscious mind into balance and focus them on how you want things to be. Working this way can help in the treatment of depression, anxiety and specific phobias such as fear of flying and driving. It also helps increase confidence and can be a very effective tool for performance enhancement.

Three techniques you’ll learn in your first month of the Award-Winning SFTA Hypnotherapy Training

Thinking of becoming a hypnotherapist? In just the first few weeks of SFTA training, you’ll already be gaining powerful, practical skills that make a real difference.

Here are three core techniques you’ll start learning right away....

🌀 1. How to induce hypnosis effectively
Learn how to guide someone safely and confidently into a hypnotic state. We’ll guide you through a structured process, so you feel calm, in control, and professional from the start.

🧠 2. How to engage the best part of the brain – just by talking
You’ll learn conversational techniques rooted in neuroscience to help clients access their solution focused, calm, rational brain. No scripts needed, just purposeful, well-structured language.

📖 3. How and why our hypnosis scripts work
Understand the psychology and brain science behind every word. We don’t just hand you a script, we teach you how the words affect the brain, reduce resistance, and create space for change.

Want to know more? Call us and talk to hypnotherapists who do this every day!

⭐ MEET CATHY ⭐

This is Cathy, the founder of SFTA Hypnotherapy Training.

We thought it was about time you met the person behind the course. So, we asked her 28 quick-fire questions — some serious, some silly — to give you a better sense of who she is.

Cathy was more than happy to take part (though she did regret the terrible golf shot) because at the heart of it all, she simply wants people to have the best possible training and to enjoy the journey.

Her next courses start in September / October - sign up early and get 15% discount.
