Process Focused Hypnotherapy v Content Focused Therapy When our clients come to us for therapy, we ask ourselves… What do we want them to focus on – and why? No matter what form of counselling, psychotherapy, complementary therapy, coaching or healing you offer – it comes down to a choice.

These things will happen when you shift the focus away from the CONTENT of the problem and focus instead on the PROCESS of the problem.
