Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy

for Anxiety and Anxious Thinking

Anxiety is a normal human response to stress and potential threats. It becomes problematic when it interferes with your daily life, causing distress and preventing you from functioning effectively. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety completely but to manage it so that it no longer controls your life.

Anxiety is often future-oriented, where your mind prepares for possible negative outcomes. This can lead to a sense of impending danger, helplessness, and physical symptoms like tension, increased heart rate, and sweating. Does this sound familiar?

It’s time to learn how to park thoughts and feelings that don’t serve you.

Using Clinical Hypnotherapy with Strategic Psychotherapy, I can help you develop the skills to manage anxiety.

〰️

In today's fast-paced environment, we are constantly surrounded by technology and social media, leading to feelings of overwhelm and stress. Endless work days filled with emails and notifications that feel relentless can make it challenging to maintain balance. Though stress and anxiety are natural responses, they can become problematic and negatively impact your mental and physical health.

If you're tired of feeling perpetually on edge and are looking for a way to regain control, my services can help. I provide support to help you develop effective strategies for managing stress and anxiety, fostering a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Don’t let anxiety and stress rule your life any longer—start your journey towards balance today.

Anxiety can impact every part of your life, from personal relationships to professional responsibilities, but it doesn't have to be a permanent problem. My therapeutic methods focus on addressing the subconscious patterns that fuel your anxiety.

I view anxiety and stress as a complex interplay between the body and mind.

Our brains and bodies develop certain behavioural and thought patterns in response to anxiety and stress, which reinforce the experience of anxiety. This pattern then continues to cycle.

When your nervous system is balanced, you can create new neural pathways by identifying these patterns and implementing effective strategies to break them. We will do this at both the conscious and subconscious levels.

Introducing a 4 week package to begin to reduce your anxiety.

Stress Reset, my signature program, will help you to take immediate steps to reduce your anxious thoughts and begin to feel more joy and ease.

When you book 'Stress Reset' you will receive:

4 private sessions

Tailored specifically to address your emotional challenges of stress, anxiety or overwhelm.

3 months app access

Daily exercises for nervous system regulation, via an app, empowering you with practical tools for ongoing wellbeing.

Additional support through hypnosis recordings

Personalised hypnotherapy sessions recorded for at-home use, assisting you to reduce stress and anxiety.

Program investment: $650

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during a session?

You can expect a safe and supportive environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we'll work collaboratively to identify goals and develop strategies to help you overcome challenges and achieve emotional wellbeing.

How does hypnotherapy help anxiety?

Hypnotherapy can manage anxiety by targeting thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to it. Hypnosis integrates new strategies and positive messages into the unconscious mind, making them more accessible when needed.

Clients often report feeling more relaxed and in control after sessions.

How many sessions will I need?

Generally, between 6 to 10 sessions is the average number required for lasting change, however this is entirely dependent on the individual circumstances of the client. You may require less, or more.

What is Strategic Psychotherapy?

What other modalities might we use in session?

In addition to clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy, I am also trained in using EFT tapping, somatic movement, coaching and counselling. Depending on your situation and preferences, we may use a combination of these to get you the best outcome.

In-person or online?

You can book an in-person session with me if the location of Braeside is convenient for you. However, evidence has shown that online therapy is equally as effective as in-person. If you prefer an online session, this will be done over Zoom. You can choose the location when you make a booking. You will just need to make sure you have a quiet and private space for the duration of the session time.

What makes my approach unique or different to other therapists or therapies?

My approach is grounded in a holistic understanding of mental health and wellbeing. I believe in addressing the root causes of issues while also empowering clients with practical tools and insights for sustainable change.

Can I get Medicare rebates via a Mental Health Care Plan?

As a registered counsellor, I do not offer rebates through Medicare or Mental Health Care Plans. If you wish to use these services, please contact your GP for a psychologist referral.

What if I have more questions?

You can book a 15 minute phone call before your first session to get your questions answered. We can chat and work out a plan that will suit your needs. You can find the link here.
