Hypnotherapy for Anxiety
Our anxiety treatment program combines clinical hypnotherapy with evidence-based cognitive therapy to address overwhelming stress and panic disorders. Clients learn targeted techniques to manage symptoms while addressing root causes through subconscious reprogramming. With personalized sessions in Glebe, North Sydney, and Surry Hills, we help individuals regain control over their mental wellbeing through both in-person and online delivery methods.
Addiction Treatment
Specialized addiction treatment programs target smoking cessation, gambling habits, and substance dependencies using neuro-linguistic programming techniques. Our approach focuses on transforming self-identity and breaking destructive behavioural patterns through strategic psychotherapy. Clients receive tailored support to overcome cravings and develop sustainable coping mechanisms for long-term recovery success.
Phobia Management
Phobia management services address irrational fears and social anxieties through gradual desensitization and cognitive restructuring. Our practitioners help clients reframe traumatic experiences and develop new thought patterns to overcome limiting phobias. This specialized treatment has successfully helped clients conquer fears of public speaking, flying, and social situations through both in-clinic and virtual sessions.
Transformational Coaching
Our 12-week transformational coaching program focuses on personal development and business growth through strategic mindset shifts. Designed for committed individuals seeking significant life changes, this intensive program combines hypnotherapy techniques with practical business coaching to overcome self-limiting beliefs and achieve professional goals through sustainable behavioural change.
Online Hypnotherapy
Online hypnotherapy services deliver effective treatment through secure video consultations, making therapy accessible to interstate and international clients. Using platforms like Skype, our practitioners maintain the same high standards of care through structured virtual sessions. This service includes customized audio programs and remote support for clients unable to attend in-person appointments at our Sydney locations.

Amazing!!! Its hard to believe, but after ONE fun and relaxed hypnotherapy session with Clive we have our son back and he is even happier, more energetic and motivated than before. His HSC anxiety is completely gone and his zest for life is back. We had tried so many things before that hadnt worked and we are incredibly grateful. I cant recommend Clive highly enough. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Clive. A wealth of knowledge and understanding. I felt immediately comfortable and would highly recommend him. You can instantly see the value, passion and care he has for his clients. I'll be using his services again.

Clive Is phenomenal at what he does. I not only attended a workshop he ran today but got to experience a hypnotherapy session with him. The transformation I have experienced today is life changing. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

I made an appointment with Clive after seeing a few therapists who were unable to provide me with the support and guidance I needed. Within a week I found myself making significant positive changes in dealing with super stressful situations, as well as taking steps to claim the lifestyle and goals I felt were unlikely to ever be attained. I love the way Clive calls out BS, and also the way he makes you feel thoroughly understood and supported. He's a man of intelligence, compassion and enthusiasm for his clients potential. Ill be going back again in the future, just for a therapeutic 'tune up'

Clive is an amazing therapist! I could see the positive changes and results after the first session. I have done other therapy consultations before but none of those were as helpful as this one. Thank you Clive for your amazing work!
