Hypnosis in Victoria
Hypnosis is one of the most effective and rapid treatments I have encountered for helping clients change thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I have seen dramatic results with phobias, anxiety, social awkwardness, depression, pain reduction, anger management, ADHD/ADD, self-confidence and self-improvement.

What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a normal state of consciousness characterized by a focused concentration, similar to what we can experience when concentrating or daydreaming and being oblivious to distraction. We naturally enter into this state multiple times a day without being aware of it. Hypnosis provides direct access to the subconscious mind by quieting the conscious mind. Anyone that sincerely wants to be hypnotized can be. The depth of hypnosis varies from person to person and even from session to session.
How does Hypnosis work?
The key to hypnosis is understanding how our subconscious brain works. When something happens to us, our subconscious brain remembers it and helps us learn how to avoid that unpleasant or traumatic situation again. When something similar happens, our subconscious triggers a physical and emotional reaction as if the original event was happening again. Sometimes these reactions are healthy, like learning not to touch a hot stove. Some reactions can be unhealthy. Hypnotherapy can help you change your unhealthy reactions by working with your subconscious to literally “change your mind” and replace the unhealthy learned behaviour with new, healthy ones.
How does the combination of Hypnotherapy and Counselling work?
Being trained and experienced at both hypnotherapy and counselling allows me to bring the best practices from both modalities to help clients make changes quickly and effectively. I bring a broad understanding of client issues and multiple tools to assist clients in understanding themselves at a deeper level.
