My Services
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety and stress are the outcome of trying to navigate the endless challelnges in life. This condition can be crippling and immobilising, preventing us from revealing our true selves. Learn how to free yourself from limiting thoughts and feelings so that you can meet life from the fullness of who you really are.
Depression
Depression can be totally debilitating, preventing you from getting off the couch or out of bed. At other times it is just an on-going nagging sensation that has you feel continually low, taking the enjoyment out of life. Find out what and where this comes from so you can, once more, fully engage in life.
Relationships
The only real relationship is with the self. How you are and how you feel is reflected in the world through others. We are responsible for our own thoughts and feelings. Come and learn how to be the best version of yourself, to deepen in your love and appreciation for yourself. In so doing, your connections with others will also deepen.
Life Coaching
Are you feeling lost and wondering what the next step is? You may have everything the world has to offer and yet... there's still something missing, a lack of direction or purpose. Are you wondering who or what you are? Does the world feel flat and uninteresting? Come and explore why this is happening and, once again, find that inner purpose, that inner drive, that magic spark.

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.

Counselling & Hypnotherapy
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.
