Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) can be very helpful for managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of the condition. IBS is often strongly linked to stress and anxiety, which can worsen symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea.

​

Stress is a major trigger for IBS flare-ups. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps calm the nervous system and reduce the "fight or flight" response that worsens gut symptoms. The brain and gut are closely connected via the gut-brain axis. Hypnotherapy can help reset this system by training the brain to respond more calmly to gut signals.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is future-focused, encouraging clients to visualise and work towards how they want to feel and live (e.g. more freedom, less pain).
