I work at the intersection of clinical hypnotherapy and psycho-spiritual depth — where evidence-based change meets the inner knowing that logic alone cannot reach.

Whether you are here to resolve something specific or to understand something deeper, the work meets you where you are. Sessions are tailored, unhurried, and oriented toward what your system is actually ready for.

I work from a purpose-built studio in Hamilton, Victoria, seeing clients in person from across the western district — Warrnambool, Portland, Ararat, Horsham, Casterton, Coleraine, Dunkeld and Ballarat — and online throughout Australia.

More than you might expect

Hypnotherapy works with the part of the mind that runs your patterns — the reactions, habits and feelings that happen before you've had a chance to think. That makes it useful across a wide range of experiences.

Stress & burnout

When your system has been running on high for so long that rest no longer restores you.

Anxiety & panic

Worry, dread and panic that understanding alone hasn't shifted.

Low mood & depression

Flatness, heaviness, and an inner voice that is harder on you than you'd be on anyone else.

Trauma

What the body still carries. Worked with gently, at your pace, and alongside your GP or psychologist where that's right for you.

Sleep

Settling a mind that switches on the moment the lights go off.

Habits & cravings

Smoking, eating, scrolling — patterns that run before you've decided anything.

Confidence & performance

Presenting, exams, sport, creative work — showing up as yourself when it counts.

Grief & life transitions

Loss, change, and the in-between times when the old way of living no longer fits.

Underneath all of it: self-regulation

Each of these comes back to the same capacity — your nervous system's ability to settle, steady itself and choose its response.

In a focused, absorbed state, that system can practise a new response. Repetition is how the brain lays down new pathways. That's neuroplasticity, and it's why change made in session tends to carry into everyday life.

Function Focused Hypno-Psychotherapy

My clinical training is through ICHP in Function Focused Hypno-Psychotherapy (FFH-P). It integrates hypnosis with cognitive, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches, and uses suggestion, language and a safe working relationship to bring about change and self-awareness.

In practice, we look at what a pattern is doing for you — what it's protecting, what it's trying to achieve — and give that part of you a better way to do its job. Structure where structure helps, depth where it's needed.

New to all of this

You don't need to have tried counselling, medication or anything else first. Plenty of people come to hypnotherapy as a first step — some in their late teens or twenties, wanting to understand themselves and handle stress before it builds.

Your first session includes time to talk, ask questions and experience what trance actually feels like. Most people are surprised how ordinary and relaxing it is. You stay aware and in charge the whole time.

Under 18? Please call before booking so we can talk with you and a parent or guardian about the best way forward.
