Anxiety Relief
Our anxiety relief hypnotherapy targets the subconscious roots of stress and panic. Using guided relaxation and neuroplasticity techniques, we reprogram the brain's response to triggers. Clients learn self-hypnosis tools to regain control over physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and insomnia. This approach addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term behavioural patterns, empowering individuals to manage anxiety without medication.
Smoking Cessation
Specialised hypnotherapy sessions break nicotine addiction cycles by reframing subconscious associations with smoking. Techniques address weight-gain fears and stress triggers while reinforcing self-efficacy. Clients receive tailored audio recordings to reinforce behavioural changes. With a 95% success rate, this method focuses on eliminating cravings through subconscious reprogramming rather than willpower alone.
Weight Management
The Virtual Gastric Band program uses hypnosis to create subconscious satiety cues, reducing overeating without restrictive diets. Sessions address emotional eating patterns and rewire food-related behaviours. Clients develop intuitive eating habits and healthier relationships with food through guided visualisation techniques that mimic physical bariatric surgery outcomes.
Grief Counselling
Hypnotherapy for grief facilitates healthy processing of loss by accessing subconscious emotional blocks. Sessions help clients reframe painful memories while preserving positive connections to lost loved ones. The process addresses physical manifestations of grief like insomnia and appetite changes, guiding individuals through Kubler-Ross's stages at their own pace.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Post-stroke hypnotherapy combines neuroplasticity principles with guided visualisation to restore motor and cognitive functions. Sessions focus on creating new neural pathways while addressing emotional challenges of recovery. Techniques include mental rehearsal of movements and subconscious reinforcement of physical therapy progress, complementing medical rehabilitation efforts.

I came in for help as I have been struggling with the grief of a lost family member. Suzy has made me feel comfortable, and so much better than before. I'm only a few sessions in. She is a wonderful person, professional and kind. I notice the positive changes the therapy does for me quite quickly, and in my personal experience cannot recommend her enough.

Business Exhaustion' Almost Lost My Way
When do we look back? Our memories come from the past, and I was extremely fortunate to come from a loving home and parents that put us first before anything. We were spoilt in love and being farmers, we understood challenges; hardships taught us life lessons and good days outweighed the bad by far. 21 years ago we had the opportunity to re locate from Africa; coming to Australia was a gift of life and a second chance. We worked hard to establish ourselves and naturally our minds and body are pushed to the limit. At 65 I needed to put life back

Adding a few more stars...After many years battling my drinking demons by way of doctors, physiologist and psychiatrist, I decided to try hypnosis and after an intense session with the beautiful Suzy, I can confidently say I am a better, alcohol free version of myself! I highly recommend Suzy especially if you have tried everything possible with no success.

I stumbled across Suzy when i was desperately seeking help. I knew something was wrong with me, coz as soon as anyone, my son, daughter, work colleague, chick at the supermarket, i mean anyone said a cross work, i would cry uncontrollably...me? the strong one for everyone else. Turns out, you can only be strong for so long, at some point you break...thats where i was at....pool it all together....a toxic narcisstic abusive partner, massive guilt for having my kids around that, death of dad, mum in nursing home, ungrateful children, baby grandson in neglectful environment with depressed borderline

Toddler Sleep Settling Difficulties
Our 3-year-old daughter had always found settling to sleep difficult, and needed us to sit with her patting her until she fell asleep, sometimes for up to 2 hours! If we stopped holding her or walked away she would immediately rouse and cry out until we were by her side holding her again. Suzy tailor-made our daughter a sleep hypnosis CD recording to play at night and the effects have been profound, as she would lie quietly and calmly in bed listening to the recording after we walked out and gradually soothe herself to sleep! If the recording finished before

Chronic Pain
I contracted a Chronic Skin Itch on my back, which drove me mad, day and night, after Shingles two years ago. I found nothing to alleviate this intense itch. After many visits to doctors, including a skin specialist who tried (and failed) to burn this skin off to get rid of it, I was put in contact with Suzy (my last resort). A friend had heard Suzy speak on the effectiveness of clinical hypnotherapy at a Weight Loss seminar. I rang, chatted, then met Suzy, who gave me an idea of what was to happen in our sessions. She asked me relevant questions about pain, itch, my life, interests
