Are you having psychological problems with your thoughts, behaviours and emotions?
Or perhaps your relationships are not working?
Hypnotherapy can help.
We are all human and issues come up for all of us at some time in our lives.
We live in a high-pressured society that loads complex demands on us, such a work, career, financial, family and social expectations.
You may be coping very well in some areas of your life but need some help in others.
Or you just may be appearing to cope when inside you’re not and may even have developed an addiction.
Over the decades I have worked with thousands of patients in the UK, Australia and internationally via the internet, and sometimes their now grown-up children and even their children.
Hypnotherapy can help you – fast!
The beauty of hypnotherapy is that we immediately work on solving those problems, not just sitting around talking about them.
We practice solution-focused therapy, which means we identify your goals right at the very beginning and plot how you are going to achieve them.
Good therapy must always have forward momentum and drive towards your solutions.
How a hypnotherapy session works
The start of your session is always about taking a full medical and psychological history.
As a clinical naturopath as well a mental health professional I am always mindful of the effect of your body on your mind and your mind on your body.
The mind and body work best when in harmony so that each supports the other to create your peak life experience.
You cannot cheat one or the other and get away with it so you must listen to both of their needs.
Your innate biology and unconscious mind run over 95% of your life. They are the hardware and the programming.
All problems in life affect both mind and body.

Dr O’Keefe presenting the World Hypnotherapy Conference
Since I am also a medical hypnotist, in therapy we are changing your body’s experiences as well as those of your mind.
This way you begin to have control of both your mind and body.
Since hypnosis is a very relaxing experience, therapy also becomes pleasant for you as well as fast.
Consciously you are often unable to change your problems. You are anchored into what you think is the safety of the present behaviour but your conscious mind is so small, with only a 20 second attention span, it frequently cannot see the bigger picture for you.
While we explain things consciously to you, talking directly to your unconscious mind with hypnosis enables us to help you program your thoughts behaviours and emotion to how you need them to be to create a better life.
It is important for me to work with you in positive constructive ways, focusing on your long-lasting solutions.
