Hypnotherapy is a highly effective and evidence-based method of healing that uses guided relaxation methods to release blocks and fears.  

Hypnosis assists the mind's ability to integrate new strategies, skills, and strengths, and to become receptive to positive suggestions that increase and heighten our mindset whilst using our own motivation to create new inner beliefs and make changes to our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a combination of hypnosis and psychological techniques. 

Psychotherapy involves employing diverse psychological techniques to address behavioural patterns, resolve challenges, heal past traumas, and enhance overall well-being.

Hypnotherapy is a very safe and effective method of treatment, using natural processes. It is simply a state of relaxation.

Everyone can be hypnotised!  Hypnosis is a natural state and one that we go into several times a day, without even realising it.  Some examples include;

• Just before going to sleep and waking up
• Driving to work
• Watching tv
• Reading a book

Hypnosis feels a lot like daydreaming and is achieved when you are mentally and physically calm and relaxed.  Hypnotherapy uses this relaxed state to access your subconscious mind.  Suggestions are given, based on the changes that YOU want to make.   

Depending on your health fund, you may have the opportunity to get a rebate back on your session. Please note that not all health funds cover hypnotherapy and this is not something that we can assist with, please check with your provider.  A receipt will be provided upon payment, which you can use to make a claim, if your insurance company covers hypnotherapy.  Unfortunately, more often than not there is no cover.

No. Hypnosis is about you making changes to how you think. All of the changes happen within your head, not in the room where you are, so hypnosis is just as effective whilst you remain in the comfort of your own home. 

All you need is a quiet comfortable place, free from distraction and interruptions.

Whether you choose to attend in person or via ZOOM, is your personal choice and your results will not be affected by this decision.

Hypnotherapy is extremely effective for children and teenagers.  

Hypnosis is all about using your imagination, visualising, and thinking about things differently than before. 

A child's unconscious mind is wide open and therefore can take in any suggestions easily and openly. 

As a result of their vivid imaginations, they have an easier time responding to hypnosis sessions, accessing their unconscious, and bringing about the desired change.

The list is endless! 

Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a range of psychological and medical issues, including, but not limited to;

• Anxiety
• Belief Systems
• Bedwetting
• Chronic Pain
• Confidence
• Depression
• Emotions
• Enhancing Sports Performance
• Exam Preparation
• Fears & Phobias
• Removing Bad Habits

Or simply as a way to relax!

No! Well, not unless you really want to! During Hypnosis, YOU are in control of your thoughts and actions and your therapist cannot get you to do anything that you wouldn't choose to do in your waking-life.

Like any other therapy, hypnotherapy is private and confidential.  You can discuss anything you want to with your therapist, but hypnotherapy cannot force you to say anything that you do not want to say.

Gift vouchers are available to give to someone you love, however, please make sure that they really want hypnotherapy.  Change is only possible when the person is ready and willing to make it happen.
