Can you relate to either of these statements? “I’m so over hurtful relationships. I’m starting to think I’ll be single forever” "We can’t keep fighting like this.

I use a blend of strategic psychotherapy, and neuro-linguistic programming, focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on the past, complemented by hypnotherapy for a deeper, transformative experience.
My ideal client is a person struggling with social anxiety, craving more self-confidence, battling fears, phobias, or past trauma, and trapped in self-criticism and overthinking. They desire freedom from anxiety, a path to a happier, more fulfilling life, and seek convenient solutions in Sydney CBD.

My ideal client? Someone who is ready to make a shift, things have gotten to a point they are ready to try a different way. Then we do a little work and Vamoosh! the problem has gone away. They come for habits like smoking, or counselling clients who have just got the wrong end of the stick about something and once they've figured it out they know what to do. Most of my clients though, are in much messier situations, with conflicting needs, and no simple solutions. And I like working with them too, because that's down in the muck of life. That's the real stuff and it's a privilege to be with them.

Life can be both exciting and challenging. One of the toughest challenges is learning to be open and realizing that we often repeat the same mistakes over and over again, asking ourselves, 'Why is this happening to me?' We develop patterns of behavior that we repeat unconsciously, almost as if we're blindfolded, without even realizing it. If you recognize that these patterns are damaging your life and the lives of the people you love, I'm here to support you. If you're a man and you realize that your anger is affecting your family life and you want to work through it, feel free to reach out.

My sessions combine counselling, coaching, and hypnotherapy to address your unique needs and goals, so that we can get you from A to B as safely and effectively as possible.
You don’t have to stay stuck—change is absolutely possible, and it starts with understanding yourself. Whatever you're struggling with—anxiety, low self-esteem, the pain of a breakup, or a stressful work situation—I can help you heal, reconnect with yourself, and gain practical tools and strategies to move forward with clarity, confidence, and connection. While I know what I’m saying probably sounds like a lot of other therapists—and on paper, it is!—but in person, it’s entirely different. This work is deeply relational, and finding the right fit matters. If you feel I might be a good one, why not reach out and say hello? :)

Are you feeling unsure how to move forward? Maybe you're navigating relationship struggles or trying to make sense of your life? Most people come to therapy because they want something to change. But lasting transformation starts with understanding how things are right now. From a young age, our nervous systems adapt to help us navigate the world, creating automatic patterns of feeling and reacting. Whilst they once served us, they can become limiting over time, keeping us stuck in ways that no longer align with who we are or what we need. I am here to help you gently uncover and understand these ingrained patterns.

In the same way that you see a GP for physical illness, a physio for muscular problems, a psychologist can help with mental, emotional and situational problems. You have a safe place to talk about things. You are not alone, and what you face is often faced by others. When you don’t know what else to do, we can help you find safety, and ease the pain - of anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and career. We can also get to the root cause, to end spiralling, to end the back and forth. We can meet face to face in Norwest or by Zoom. Access to medicare benefits for mental health plans are available.

Hypnotherapy Therapists
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.

Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.

Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.

Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
