Here’s what hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, counselling and sex therapy can help you with

Hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, counselling and sex therapy can help you cope with a large number of issues. I see people from all walks of life in my clinic and use a range of techniques in order to help you in the best and fastest way.

Below are some of the issues that can be overcome or managed through hypnosis and related psychotherapeutic methods:

Addiction

Many people develop an addiction problem, whether you’re a smoker or you’ve become dependent on alcohol or other substances, to the point where it’s causing problems in your life. Hypnotherapy is a fast, effective way to overcome addiction. As an addiction specialist, I train other hypnotherapists how to treat clients with addiction. Find out more at the links below:

Confidence and public speaking

A lack of confidence can impact both your personal and professional life. Even if you’re outwardly ‘successful’, you can still experience low self-esteem that makes you feel exhausted and stressed. It can also hold you back in your career, as well as prevent you from having deeply fulfilling relationships. Find out more at the links below:

Stress and emotional issues

Stress is literally a killer. When it builds up in your body, it can cause all kinds of physical ailments, as well as being emotionally debilitating. Hypnotherapy can help you manage and gain relief from stress, as well as stress-related conditions, such as PTSD. I have developed a program Inspiration for Survive and Prosper to help you overcome crisis and trauma fast, based on my book of the same title. Find out more at the links below:

Phobias

People develop phobias to all kinds of things, far too many to list here. Some of the most common include fear of flying, heights, driving, dying, closed spaces (claustrophobia), going outside (agoraphobia), dentists, dogs, needles, spiders and other insects, and many, many more. Hypnotherapy is a fast way to overcome your phobia. Find out more at the links below:

Habits

Do you bite your nails? Pull your hair? Grind your teeth? It’s easy to pick up a habit and before you realise, it’s become embedded in your behaviour. Hypnotherapy can help you get rid of unwanted habits, fast. Find out more at the link below:

Weight loss and eating disorders

If you’re looking to lose weight, it’s important do this in a healthy way. As I am a qualified and registered naturopath and nutritionist, as well as a clinical hypnotherapist and mental health professional, I guide you to gain your ideal weight and body shape through hypnosis combined with healthy eating.

Anxiety and depression

Anxiety can manifest as anxiety attacks, social anxiety disorder, or long-term chronic anxiety. Depression can come about as a result of imbalances in the body, such as hormones, as well as a reaction to a life event such as loss of a job or loved one. Depending on your situation, I may use a combination of hypnotherapy and naturopathy to help you overcome anxiety or depression. Find out more at the links below:

Sex, gender and sexuality

As a sex therapist, I see people with a range of issues related to sex, gender or sexuality. I’m the author of several books on sex, gender and sexuality diversity, have written many papers and presented at several conferences on this topic, including the World Sexology Conference. I work with people from all walks of life and my clinic is a judgement-free, safe zone. Below are some of the most common issues I help people with in this area:

Study

Whether you’re studying full time or part time, at school or university, or learning something new, hypnosis can help you with memory recall, retaining information, learning faster and remaining calm in exams. Find out more at the links below:

Sports hypnosis

The use of hypnosis in sports is well documented, with many high-profile athletes taking advantage of this natural method to improve their performance. Whether you’re a professional sports person or just play a sport for fun, hypnosis can help you to up your game. Find out more at the link below:

Children

Sometimes children need help with emotional or behavioural issues. Because they are even more susceptible to hypnosis than adults, hypnotherapy can be a highly effective treatment. I am experienced in working with children and hold a current Working with Children Certificate issued by the NSW government. Find out more at the link below:

Couples and family therapy

If you and your partner are having problems, coming into therapy as a couple can be helpful, as it provides a safe space for you work through your issues with an experienced therapist. I help couples of all sex and gender combinations and am an experienced marriage counsellor.

Family therapy can help when there are problems involving more than one member of the family. Find out more at the links below:
