Whatever the issue, the foundation of our choices and behaviours is in our subconscious mind. These behaviours or choices can be difficult to access with our rational mind, and yet they direct many of the decisions we make.

Life Coaching

Are you wondering who or what you are? Does the world feel flat and uninteresting?

Addictions

There are many forms of addiction - eating, alcohol, smoking and a variety of other drugs. Sometimes it may feel that these addictive behaviours are in control of you. Often addictions are an attempt to cover up deep seated feelings of inadequacy or just not liking yourself. Come and set yourself free and live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy is a very useful adjunct to counselling and assists in the treatment of addictions, weight loss, anxiety, stress & depression, relationships, anger and so much more.. Through deep relaxation the thinking mind tones down or shuts off and the subconscious becomes more open to suggestion, increasing the opportunity for change. Its use can enable access to the protective survival instincts where deep seated patterns of behaviour live. These patterns are able to be released using a combination a of suggestion and visualisation.

Past Life Therapy

Using hypnosis past life regression therapy uses an exploration of past lives to potentially uncover the root causes of current emotional or physical problems, gain insights into recurring patterns, and promote healing and personal growth, even if there is no belief doesn't believe in reincarnation. Past life therapy can help individuals understand the origins of their current fears, anxieties, and phobias by exploring potential past life experiences that may have caused trauma or unresolved issues. We know from Quantum mechanics that there is, in reality, no past or future, only the eternal now. This means all 'past lives' are happening now and, therefore, the experiences and information contained within these lives is accessible now. This is an exciting field to explore and may help to provide answers to long standing questions not accessible through other modalities.

Do I need Counselling or Hypnotherapy

We all reach various points in our lives where life appears to overwhelm and confuse us.  Are you wondering what to do now or how to help yourself move through this?  Or perhaps you seem to have lost your motivation or inspiration.

As an experienced and qualified trauma therapist and counsellor with over 35 years experience working with a wide range of individuals, I bring many modalities and techniques, including hypnotherapy, to support your return to wellness and happiness so that you can life to your fullest.

I work with anxiety, stress, trauma and relationship difficulties to support your return to health and well-being.

No matter how big or small the apparent issue, when you book an appointment for hypnotherapy or counselling you can be assured you are in good hands.

Why use Counselling or Hypnotherapy?

It is drug-free, safe and can create rapid change.  It enables you to work with your strengths, not against them, by discovering the underlying causes of the behaviours you're wanting to change.  It enables you to let go of those recurring negative thoughts and shift the self into a more positive way of relating to the self and others.

Challenges may come in many different forms - drinking too much, smoking, procrastination.  Or perhaps lack of motivation with loosing weight, exercise or managing a difficult relationship.  Others may be looking to create a deeper, more meaningful life.  You know that feeling - you have everything but are still not happy.

At my clinic in West End, Brisbane, we work together to get at those underlying causes of the discomfort you're experiencing and do something about them with hypnosis.

Testimonials

To a fantastic lady and highly professional hypnotherapist - Maggie helped to save my sanity and my life! To anyone who needs or just wants help, don't hesitate to contact Maggie

Lindsay Fischer

Previous Client

When I first approached Maggie I felt lost, void of passion and was struggling to manage my business responsibilities. My staff didn't have the necessary direction and I couldn't find the strength to guide them. Maggie worked with me to identify the underlaying issues that caused the doubt and lack of self-confidence and then used hypnosis to help me let go of emotions that were holding me back. Over a number of sessions, she was able to rebuild my confidence and equipped me with exercises to copy with some of my dat-to-day challenges. Now work is heading in the right direction. I've adderessed some long overdue staffing issues and when a recent challenge presented itself (one that would have broken me a few months ago), I not only took it in my stride, but used it as an opportunity to improve and avoide such issues in the future. I couldn't recommend Maggie highly enough!

Peter Newsome

Previous Client

Really helpful, Professional and genuinely has her clients well being at heart. I have seen her many times over a few years and would recommend her highly. I was struggling with issues that were holding me back from moving forward after a loss. Life had started to lack laughter. After a couple of sessions I started to see my old happy self coming back. I was able to get going and start my own business and deal with my doubts. I now see her to keep me on track when things start to pile up. You are always in control of the session but you leave so relaxed and in the days following you start to see your stress dissipate and a more positive outlook move in. She has helped me so much and I cannot speak highly enough on her insight and understanding. Thank you Maggie

I have no hesitatiojn in recommending Maggie to anyone suffering from anxiety/depression. The sense of calm and relaxation is a testament to her skill, not to mention her ability to grasp your situation and deliver a satisfactory summation & remedy. Thank you Maggie.

B Proctor

Previous Client

Absolutely amazing. Honestly, I didn't expect much from hypnosis and have not tried it before. When looking for someone I noticed a lot of websites saying 'they could fix all my problems' which made me skeptical. I found Maggie who seemed more interested in helping me become a stronger, better version of me so that I could cope with what ever life threw at me. At no point when faced with a difficult situation outside of sessions did i feel a need to run to an appointment to fix whatever I was experiencing. I regularly found myself using the tools and visualisation techniques from the hypnosis - sometimes without even realising I was doing it!I had a bad relationship with food which cause excessive overeating and emotional eating. Since my sessions with Maggie, this has since changed. The little combative voice in my head saying 'you know you want a pizza' when I am eating a salad every time is completely manageable and almost non existent now. Funnily enough, I only went to see her for this problem, but she identified and linked so many things to my food issues and we worked on all of them. She has changed my life so much and feel so much more confident and in control in everyday life.

Previous Client

I've been working with Maggie on and off for a few years now. She really helps me to push through any barriers and blockages that come up from time to time. Maggie is very professional but with a warmth that assures me she has my best interest at heart and is aligned to me achieving my outcome. It's always a pleasure working with her and I've found that her skill in this area improves each time I see her, which helps me to achieve things faster in my own life. I would highly recommend Maggie to anyone who is looking to get more from life, experience greater quality and emotional happiness. I appreciate all your help Maggie, thank you!!
