Questions people usually ask

It's a Greek word for a transformative shift of mind — the experience of your perception, understanding, or sense of self moving beyond where it's been.

I integrate psychotherapy, clinical hypnosis, and coaching in one relationship, rather than you seeing several practitioners for each piece. The approach is customised to you rather than a fixed protocol.

No. Clinical hypnosis is research-supported therapy — you remain fully conscious and in control throughout. It has nothing to do with entertainment hypnosis.

No. Many people start with a general sense of discomfort, feeling stuck, or wanting to navigate a transition thoughtfully. We clarify the focus together as we go.

Yes — it's a genuine 30–45 minute conversation, not a sales pitch. We both assess fit, with no obligation on either side.

Fees are discussed individually based on the work involved. I keep rates reasonable and I'm happy to discuss options if cost is a barrier.

No — Medicare's Better Access programme doesn't extend to hypnotherapy or strategic psychotherapy, though some private health funds offer rebates.

It varies significantly. Drawing on brief therapy traditions, some clients experience a lasting shift in a single session; others prefer a more gradual process. There's no prescribed number of sessions.

The practice is entirely online, serving clients across time zones, worldwide.

Yes, within standard ethical and legal limits, including mandatory reporting obligations where there's a risk of serious harm. Full detail is on the Client Welcome page.

The practice is primarily focused on women, but I consider other enquiries case-by-case. Organisational work includes leadership and team wellbeing.

Please contact a specialised crisis service rather than this practice. See the Crisis Resources page — in Australia, Lifeline is 13 11 14, Beyond Blue is 1300 22 4636, and 000 is for immediate danger.
