Anxiety Relief

Our hypnotherapy sessions target anxiety at its source through subconscious reprogramming. Using neuroplasticity principles, we help clients reframe traumatic memories and break anxiety cycles. The Rewind Technique offers rapid relief for phobias and PTSD symptoms. Clients learn self-regulation techniques to manage stress responses and restore physical health. This holistic approach addresses both psychological patterns and physiological manifestations of chronic anxiety.

Weight Management

Our Balanced Eating Program addresses emotional eating through subconscious habit restructuring. Mindful eating techniques help clients distinguish real hunger from emotional triggers. We reprogram negative food associations while supporting sustainable lifestyle changes. The program includes stress management strategies to prevent comfort eating and neuro-linguistic programming for healthier food choices. This approach fosters long-term body-mind harmony without restrictive dieting.

Habit Change

Specialised hypnotherapy techniques break unwanted habits at the subconscious level. We address nail-biting, OCD patterns and addictive behaviours through targeted suggestion therapy. The process increases habit awareness while installing positive alternatives. Trauma-informed approaches resolve underlying emotional triggers. Clients develop new neural pathways for automatic, effortless behaviour change that lasts.

Confidence Building

Subconscious belief restructuring transforms self-limiting patterns into empowering mindsets. Performance visualisation techniques enhance confidence for public speaking and exams. We address childhood conditioning that affects current self-worth. Mental rehearsal strategies build competence in challenging situations. This process creates lasting neural changes that support authentic self-assurance and achievement.

Child Hypnotherapy

Age-appropriate hypnotherapy addresses childhood anxiety, bedwetting, and social challenges. Gentle techniques build emotional resilience and self-regulation skills. We work with children aged 6+ using engaging therapeutic storytelling. Parental guidance components support consistent progress. The approach creates safe space for emotional expression while respecting developmental needs.

I came to Lee with a serious case of grinding my teeth in my sleep. I had damaged teeth beyond repair that required crowns and other extreme dental measures and knew that I could not consciously stop myself if I was asleep. A friend recommended I see Lee and I am extremely thankful! She made me feel welcomed and safe and was happy to have a chat about what I was experiencing and give me skills to help with the clenching of my jaw when I was awake as well.
Lee goes above and beyond with helping her clients to understand why they may be having the issues that they are and helps them get to the

I highly recommend Lee of Connect Hypnosis. The results speak for themself - so far I have overcome a free of flying, stopped a life long habit of nail biting and have eliminated bad eating habits lossing 15kg to date. From the first session, Lee always made me feel completely relaxed and confidence in her abilities as a therapist. Lee is a significant influence in changing my life for the positive.

Under Lee's gentle guidance, I found my first experience of hypnotherapy to be highly positive and empowering. Hypnotherapy can help bring out the best in a person's natural inclinations, which is what Lee did by offering suggestions which I considered and made a conscious decision to accept. I tried hypnotherapy after various unsuccessful attempts to change unhelpful patterns of thinking. After two sessions I feel confident that I am well on the way to achieving the personal goals I had set for myself.

I cannot thank Lee enough for her guidance during a difficult phase of life, which left me beset with self-doubt, self-loathing and periods of anxiety and depression. Through her empathic listening, insightful reflections and guided meditations, I was able to access reserves of strength, confidence and resilience I had misplaced. The impact on my self-confidence has been enormous, so that I have found myself enjoying a challenging career after previously thinking I could never 'get back out there' after being a stay-at-home mum and student for 12-ish years. Every aspect of my life is humming along

Lee is amazing! Being a mother, partner, and business owner, Lee helped me find my calm in modern life. Lee has also helped and empowered my daughter to take control of and make positive choices for her mood at home and school
