Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, low-self esteem, a traumatic past experience that you just can’t stop thinking about, losing weight, a phobia, an addiction, fear, anger, or sports performance?

Are you ready to leave those struggles behind and take your life in a new direction?

If you want to change your life, your behaviours and your habits, it’s achievable with Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Yes, absolutely. Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy works amazingly well for children, and working with children and teens is a passion of mine. Children have wonderful imaginations which can be extremely helpful when making positive changes with hypnotherapy. Children are also more susceptible than adults which can speed their transformation effectively. Hypnotherapy can help children with many issues including self-esteem, confidence, motivation, study, exams, fears, anger, and coping with bullying, eating habits, sports, bedwetting, nail-biting, or screen addiction.

I strive to offer a safe space for children and teens to explore their thoughts, feelings and behavious, increasing their self-awareness, and helping them develop coping strategies to overcome any difficulties they may be facing. If you have any concerns for your child or teen, please get in touch and we can discuss how I can help.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. While being in a healing and relaxing hypnotic state, you are still fully in control, and you cannot be made to do anything that you don't want to do. So no chicken-clucking and onion eating here!

Instead, you will be guided into a heightened state of awareness, where we’ll work together to rid yourself of any unwanted behaviours.

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss what you’d like to achieve, and your sessions will be tailored to your goals. You will also be given a full explanation as to what you can expect during hypnosis and beyond, and you’ll be given the opportunity to ask any questions, chat through any misconceptions, and voice any fears.

Hypnotherapy is an extremely relaxing and empowering experience. During a hypnosis session, you enter a changed state of awareness with a feeling of increased relaxation that allows for improved focus and concentration. You’ll feel calm and relaxed, mentally and physically.

During a hypnotic state, I can speak directly with your subconscious mind, accessing your long-term memory, including the habits you have formed, the experiences you have felt, and the memories you have created in your life thus far.

If any of those habits, experiences, or memories are negatively affecting your everyday life, causing you pain and anxiety, I then use hypnotic techniques to speak directly to your subconscious mind and reframe your limiting behaviours and negative habits.

Using imaginative language and powerful visualisations, I’ll appeal to your subconscious mind, and then using the power of suggestion, I’ll help you to reframe your negative behaviours, allowing you to feel more focused on your desired goals, as well as feel calmer, more confident and more connected to your inner self.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and we are all capable of entering a hypnotic state. Have you ever driven somewhere and been unaware of how you got there? You entered a hypnotic state and your subconscious mind guided and protected you, getting you to where you needed to be, safely.

So, if you want to achieve your goals, overcome what is holding you back and release the fear your mind and body is holding on to, there is no reason why it won’t work.

Yes, hypnotherapy via video-conferencing is as effective as a face-to-face session. The only difference is you can experience the session in the comfort of your own home.

You will just have to make sure you won’t be disturbed, that you will have a good internet connection and a head rest.

If you prefer face-to-face sessions, I service the Gold Coast and surrounding areas from two convenient locations.

There are a number of differences:

• It is a brief therapy, which means we usually recommend 4-6 sessions for optimal results, not 20+ sessions that you would normally need to attend for more traditional approaches.

• It is direct - we don’t wait for you to come up with a solution, we are goal-oriented and solutions-focused. By working together we will find out how you are doing your problem and how best to resolve it.

• We are focussed on the present and future. If you want to rehash your past and understand why you do something this is not the right therapy for you. Your past is of course important but it is unchangeable, and so to make lasting change we will focus on how you are doing your problem and what you can change in your present and future, not on why you have the problem in the first place.
