Overcome the Problem.
-
Dependencies /Addictions - Quit Smoking
Psychoactive products or addictive practices are very often used to try to manage problems such as stress, anxiety, or lack of self-confidence. Solving those problems and removing your positive vision of the product or practice will help you quit.
-
Sleep issues / Insomnia
Regain a great sleep and maximise your free time by developing better compartmentalisation skills, which will permit you to process problems at the chosen time
-
Self-esteem - Weight Loss
Good self-esteem comes from knowing your strengths and sorting out non-beneficial self-criticism. Therapy will permit you to develop the right self-assessment process and start doing things with better organisation to see results.
-
Anxiety / Stress
I offer much more than just relaxation techniques or guided meditations. You will quickly change your way of thinking and gain control of your counterproductive thoughts.
How To Change?
Discover Hypnosis
Although hypnosis is usually associated with quitting habits (weight loss, quitting smoking, etc.), almost all areas that can be treated by conventional means can be improved by the use of hypnosis.
I use Hypnosis as a powerful way to operate change.
Psychotherapy
Appointment 1 hour
The psychotherapy interview focuses on HOW you perceive and analyse the information that comes to you. Developing techniques to control your thoughts will allow you to ease and react as you aim to influence positively the outside world and your life.
Counselling
Appointment 1 hour
The counselling interview allows you to discover and develop your resources. The approach also benefits people who need to organise their thoughts, set goals, prioritise, and improve their life planning.
What I can bring to you ?
My approach is part of short therapies and is focused on solving problems. In most situations, only 3 to 6 sessions can lead to changes in cognitive functioning responsible for issues. This number of sessions varies depending on the changes that need to be made.
I focus my expertise on sleep disorders and related problems such as anxiety, stress, intrusive thoughts, self-esteem, and addictions: tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis.
I also offer unique sessions to stay in control and manage specific situations such as job interviews, exams, public presentations, social events, dates, etc...
All your information, my notes, and our exchanges are kept strictly confidential unless there is immediate danger.
In-person and remote options
I offer Home Visits in Echuca-Moama.
Not in this area? No worries – I’ve got you covered with teletherapy.
Weekend and Evening Sessions are available.

FAQs
-
The problems that can be treated by psychotherapy and, more specifically, hypnosis are diverse. Usually associated with changing habits (weight loss, quitting smoking, etc.), many life areas can be improved by hypnosis. Hypnosis brings the receptivity necessary to promote the person's attitude toward change. The most important and determining factor in the eventual success of therapy is the genuine will to recover.
During counselling sessions, you can develop and reinforce methods to clarify your thoughts and emotions and implement strategies to improve your well-being.

Disgusting yourself with tobacco or alcohol is not enough and satisfying. This does not solve the underlying problem. Being disgusted by cigarettes or drinking will leave you with huge frustration; the craving will always be there, and you will surely find another substitute addiction, such as e-cigarettes or sweets, ...
We will work on your goal: do you want to stop consumption completely or only reduce it? We'll look for the reasons why you're continuing. They can be diverse: linked to a specific context (e.g. breaks at the office), behavioural (what makes the product or habit sometimes become a reflex?) or even identity. We will question a crucial subject: What disadvantages and advantages do you associate with consumption? Cigarette break at work? After-work parties? Triggers and habits?
Hypnosis allows you to work on the unconscious, where the reasons that prevent you from quitting are. Becoming aware of motivations will enable you to change your relationship with the product and develop better ways of managing your problems: anxiety, stress, self-esteem, self-confidence, and sleep.

YES! And for all the issues dealt with face-to-face: anxiety, sleep disorders, emotions, stress, addictions... Online hypnosis is just as effective. The hypnotic state is attained through discourse and exchange. It is the voice of the therapist that soothes and questions. You remain in control of your experience, and the fact that it reaches you through a speaker will not alter the result.
Some people prefer online consultations. Because the state of hypnosis may be easier to achieve in a place you know and prefer where you feel reassured.
On the other hand, having a good internet connection, a clear camera image, headphones and a working microphone is essential. The camera allows me to adapt my speech to your breathing and identify signs of relaxation on your face.

You might think hypnosis is about mind control because one of the most visible parts of hypnosis is Show hypnosis. People will see participants doing whatever is asked of them. This concern is unjustified because hypnotherapy clients can react and make choices, even in a trance. Stage hypnosis is a show with selected participants, and various factors, such as social pressure, increase the effectiveness of the process. Somehow, they want to do the chicken. You can't be forced to do something against your will.
Clinical hypnosis does not select participants and does not play with external factors such as social pressure. It aims to improve people's lives.

You may think, at first, that you can't be hypnotised, you have a strong will, and you will not be duped by a guru. It comes from the ideas around traditional scripted hypnosis and how it has been shown to the public. Modern tailor-made hypnosis doesn't tell you what to do and doesn't take control. I will offer suggestions and possibilities, and you will choose what you want to take away from the session.

ABSOLUTELY. Your session and your personal data are confidential. Any communication is protected by law. You can access my notes anytime; your written consent is required for any information to be shared with third parties. The only time privilege can be broken is when a person is a danger to themselves or others or when a child or elder may be abused or neglected.

The number of visits you'll need to "solve" your problem is unique and depends on various factors such as the concern itself, your social support, your availability… At the end of the first session, I will give you an idea of the number of sessions necessary for your success. My intention is to provide what you need to succeed on your own. For most people with a problem, 3 to 4 sessions are enough. For some, a single session is enough to bring about the desired change. I'm looking for efficiency. You may have spent years with a problem, and I want you to feel better from the start to be motivated to go through the process.
