Clinical Hypnotherapy
The answer lies in the difference between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.
Traditional therapy works predominantly with the conscious mind — the thinking, analysing, talking part of you. And while that has its place, it can only take you so far because the patterns, the responses, the deeply held beliefs that are running your life? They don't live in your conscious mind. They live in your subconscious — and that's exactly where clinical hypnotherapy works.
You've talked about it. You've analysed it. You understand it better than most. So why are you still carrying it?
What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that guides you into a deeply relaxed theta brainwave trance state — not sleep, not unconsciousness, but a beautifully calm and focused state where your subconscious mind becomes open and receptive to change.
In this state we can work directly with the patterns, beliefs and underlining programs that have been running on autopilot — often since childhood — and begin to shift them at the source.
This is not about reliving your trauma. It's about understanding it, releasing it and finally moving through it.
What Can Clinical Hypnotherapy Help With?
Trauma and its lasting effects — the anxiety, the hypervigilance, the feeling of being permanently stuck
Anxiety — not just managing it but addressing the nervous system patterns underneath it
Addictions — gambling, alcohol, sugar, drugs — these are not character flaws. They are trauma coping mechanisms. And when we address the trauma at the source, the need for the coping mechanism begins to dissolve
Sleep — because a dysregulated nervous system rarely sleeps well, and hypnotherapy is one of the most powerful tools available for resetting those patterns
Confidence and self esteem — gently uncovering and rewriting the deeply held beliefs about yourself that were formed long before you had any say in the matter
Relationship patterns — because the way we relate to others is almost always a reflection of our earliest experiences, and change is absolutely possible
What to Expect in a Session
From the moment you arrive — or log on from the comfort of your own home — my intention is to make you feel completely safe and at ease.
We begin by getting to know each other. I take the time to understand how you think, what you need and what your goals are — because every session is personalised to you. I'll also make sure you completely understand what the hypnotic trance state feels like and what to expect, so there are no surprises.
When you're ready, I'll invite you to recline in my cosy electric recliner. With lights dimmed, door closed, you are wrapped in warmth intended to create a cocoon of safety. For online sessions, you can create that same cosy and private space in your own home.
Using a blend of clinical hypnotherapy and NLP, we work gently and directly with your subconscious mind — the part of you that holds the pattern, not just the memory.
Can hypnotherapy really help with anxiety, or is it just relaxation?
Genuine hypnotherapy goes well beyond relaxation, though relaxation is part of how it works. In session, you are guided into a theta brainwave trance state. It is not sleep, not unconsciousness, but a calm, deeply focused state where your subconscious becomes open to change. From there, the work isn't about calming you down in the moment; it's about addressing the nervous system patterns creating the experience of anxiety, the ones that have usually been running on autopilot since childhood. That's the real difference between hypnotherapy and relaxation techniques, you're not just managing the anxiety with a coping strategy, you are working with the subconscious programming that is generating it at the source.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients experience significant shifts within 3 to 6 sessions, not months or years. Hypnotherapy works directly with the pattern itself rather than just the memory or story around it, which tends to make change faster than purely talk-based approaches. Every session is personalised, so the exact number depends on what you're working through.
How much does it cost?
A clinical hypnotherapy session costs $200. You can purchase a 3 session package for $525 or a 6 session package for $900.
Flexible payment options including Afterpay and PayPal Pay in 4 if that helps make it more manageable.
What does hypnosis actually feel like? Will I lose control?
The hypnotic trance is a deeply relaxed, focused state that is similar to the calm, drifting feeling just before falling asleep. You remain fully aware and in control throughout the entire time.
Nothing happens without your participation, and you can bring yourself out of it whenever you choose. The goal is simply to get your conscious mind to step back enough that we can work directly with your subconscious — the part of you actually running the patterns you want to change.
Can hypnotherapy help if I've already tried therapy or medication without success?
Often, yes. You've talked about it. You've analysed it. You probably understand it better than most people would. So why are you still carrying it? That's usually the sign that what's running the pattern doesn't live in the conscious, thinking part of you. It lives in the subconscious, which is exactly where hypnotherapy works. It's not that the other approaches failed; they were working at a different layer of the problem.
What's the difference between clinical hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis?
Stage hypnosis is entertainment, built around theatrics and willing, suggestible volunteers performing for a crowd. Clinical hypnotherapy is a private, goal-directed process where you stay in full awareness and control, working one-on-one toward something you actually want to change. Nobody is making you cluck like a chicken — you're an active participant in your own session, not a subject in someone else's show.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
You naturally go in and out of the trance state many times daily. Anytime your attention is so focused that the outside world fades away, such as when watching a movie or reading a book... or even driving a familiar route, those are all examples of a hypnotic state. Almost everyone can reach a hypnotic trance state to some degree. The depth varies person to person, but that's normal and doesn't determine whether the work is effective.
Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. For in-person sessions, you're settled into a cosy recliner with the lights dimmed, door closed — a true cocoon of safety. For online sessions, you create that same peaceful space in your own home, and the process works exactly the same way. Many clients actually find it easier to relax fully somewhere already familiar to them.
