Hypnotherapy & Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Having trained in both Clinical Hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), I typically use a combination of techniques from each of these modalities when working with clients. Increasingly recognised worldwide for the benefits that can be obtained for a variety of medical and non-medical conditions; Hypnotherapy and NLP can effectively assist in overcoming issues to regain a sense of control in your life and help you to feel lighter and happier.

Issues I treat in my practice with a combination of Hypnotherapy & NLP include:

Stress management
Anxiety and Panic attack
Insomnia & sleep related problems
Stop smoking
Phobias & Fears
Depression
Past Trauma
Sexual abuse
Self esteem & confidence
Exam stress & study habits
Habits – skin picking, nail biting
Noise sensitivity
Performance Anxiety & public speaking
Sports motivation
Pain control
Weight reduction & poor eating habits
Driving problems
Anger management
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Sexual dysfunction
Tinnitus
Bedwetting

Traumatic Events that I commonly work with include:

Motor vehicle accidents
Domestic violence
Assaults
Burglaries
Bush fire events
Rape events
Sexual abuse
Workplace Bullying & Sexual harassment
Situations such as near-drownings
School bullying etc

For many years in NZ, I specialised in Post-traumatic stress resolution, receiving regular referrals from GPs and client self referrals and in Melbourne I continue this work. I find these techniques particularly effective in this area with clients reporting major shifts in their emotions around events.

Number of sessions

This depends on the issue being treated. Typically I say allow for 3 appointments, some issues may take a couple more. For a stop smoking programme, I allow for 2 consultations.

Length of appointment

Each appointment is 1 hour & 15/20 minutes approximately. If you are travelling a considerable distance to see me, I allow for a 2 hour appointment.

Fees

As I’m a Clinical Member of Australian Hypnotherapy Association, you may be able to claim rebate from your Health Insurance if your policy covers Hypnotherapy undertaken by a therapist who is NOT a registered psychologist. Please check your policy.

A typical First Session begins with full discussion & exploration of the issue that is affecting you, the outcomes or goals you want, and then we discuss how I’ll be working with you and the use of Hypnotherapy during the first and subsequent sessions.
