I provide clinical hypnotherapy for adults seeking support with emotional wellbeing, behavioural patterns and personal change. My approach is collaborative, individualised and designed to complement existing professional care where appropriate.

Hypnotherapy is provided within scope of practice and is not a replacement for medical, psychological or psychiatric care.

Who I Support

Clients may be referred for support with:

• Anxiety and persistent overthinking

• Stress and emotional overwhelm

• Sleep difficulties

• Confidence and self-worth

• People-pleasing and boundary difficulties

• Emotional eating and unwanted behavioural patterns

• Habit and behaviour change

• Smoking and vaping cessation

• Grief, loss and adjustment

• Life transitions and feeling stuck

• Direction, motivation and personal growth

• Trauma-related patterns where hypnotherapy is appropriate as part of the client’s broader support

Rather than focusing only on the presenting concern, sessions explore the patterns, associations and responses that may be contributing to the client’s current difficulties.

My Approach

Awaken • Reclaim • Transform

My work is guided by the ART Method™ — Awaken, Reclaim, Transform.

Awaken

Develop greater awareness of the thoughts, emotions, behaviours and automatic patterns influencing the client’s experience.

Reclaim

Support the client to reconnect with their strengths, choices, boundaries and sense of personal agency.

Transform

Use hypnotherapeutic approaches to support new responses, perspectives and behavioural patterns that align with the client’s goals.

Sessions are tailored to each individual rather than delivered through a one-size-fits-all script.

A Trauma-Informed Approach

Clients do not need to repeatedly recount or relive painful experiences to participate in hypnotherapy.

My approach prioritises safety, choice, collaboration and client autonomy. Where trauma is relevant, the focus is on working within the client’s capacity and supporting present-day change without unnecessarily intensifying distress.

Suitability is considered before proceeding. Referral to, or collaboration with, another health professional may be recommended when a client’s needs extend beyond my scope of practice.

Working Alongside Existing Care

Hypnotherapy may be used alongside counselling, psychology, medical treatment and other allied health supports. A client does not need to discontinue existing treatment to work with Awaken & Reclaim.

Where appropriate and with the client’s consent, I welcome communication with referring practitioners to support continuity of care.

My role is not to diagnose medical or mental health conditions or replace treatment provided by appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.

What Clients Can Expect

Before commencing hypnotherapy, clients have the opportunity to discuss what they would like support with and determine whether hypnotherapy is appropriate for their circumstances.

Depending on the client’s individual needs and goals, sessions may incorporate:

• Clinical hypnotherapy

• Ericksonian approaches

• Guided imagery and therapeutic suggestion

• Relaxation and focused-attention techniques

• Exploration of subconscious associations and learned patterns

• Resource building

• Behavioural and habit-change strategies

• Future-focused therapeutic work

Clients remain active participants throughout the process and retain control over their involvement at all times.

Online Hypnotherapy Australia-Wide

Awaken & Reclaim provides confidential one-to-one online hypnotherapy throughout Australia.

Online delivery makes support more accessible for clients who may have difficulty attending in-person appointments because of their location, work commitments, mobility, caring responsibilities or other circumstances.

Clients attend from a private, comfortable location using a secure video appointment.

When Hypnotherapy May Not Be Appropriate

Client wellbeing and appropriate scope of practice come first.

Hypnotherapy may not be suitable as a standalone service when a person requires acute mental health intervention, medical assessment, crisis support or treatment beyond the practitioner’s professional scope.

Where concerns arise, I may recommend that the client speak with their GP, psychologist or another appropriately qualified professional before commencing or continuing hypnotherapy.

Awaken & Reclaim is not a crisis service. Anyone requiring urgent assistance should contact Emergency Services on 000 or an appropriate mental health crisis service.
