“Hypnotherapy doesn’t put you to sleep, instead it wakes you up to your potential and possibilities!” Marisa Peer (Hypnotherapist)

It is a deeply relaxing and pleasurable sensation. Simply open your mind to explore yet-unknown fields of possibility … engage your imagination as my voice leads you to an encounter with your innermost-self. It’s both calming and empowering, because everything that happens is in your own hands to shape and control.

“You already know something … but you don’t know that you know it. As soon as you find out what it is that you already know - and [yet] don’t know that you know - you can begin!” - Milton Erickson - grandfather of Modern Hypnotherapy

“It is the patient who does the therapy.” - Milton Erickson

Hypnotherapy recruits the power of your Unconscious mind, gaining its co-operation to make your chosen desires and goals become your reality. The answers to your problems lie within yourself. Your Unconscious mind works in surprisingly simple yet crystal clear ways, whereby insights arise from within.

Unlike many other therapies, there is very little need to talk through the details around old stories. Unless you want to talk it out (for the very last time), I don’t need to know the whole story in order to guide you in making an internal shifts. If you’re sick and tired of how the past makes you feel, you are ready for rapid change.

With the newly installed directions, the unconscious mind begins developing new habits and fresh attitudes without any hard effort. You can enjoy being healthy, confident and calm, within yourself.

If psychotherapy is the study of what goes wrong and why, then Nero Linguistic Programming is the study and practice of what goes right, and how to replicate that success over and over. Hypnotherapy hard-wires that in for you.

Hypnotherapy is an intensely relaxing, deep, rich and rewarding experience for your mind and body. For more detail on the amazing qualities and power of the Unconscious mind click here.

Together, we fine-tune your goals and clear out any emotional obstacles using NLP techniques. Then I will lead you into a trance-like, hypnotic state where your imagination can be engaged - gently yet actively guiding your deep mind. On your behalf I embedded your desires and goals into your Unconscious/Subconscious mind.

The techniques we use can break through a lifetime’s tendency in making poor decisions, based on negative emotions and ingrained self-limiting beliefs - such as smoking, overeating, criticising, jealousy, nail biting, nervous tics and gestures …

Hypnotherapy can guide people living with chronic conditions or pain, as well as immune disorders towards relief. Visualisation and communication with the Unconscious mind is established in alignment with the conscious mind and the physical body (as well as any medications and treatments if any). Our body’s immune system is fighting off viruses and allergens all day and night to maintain or restore us to perfect health. The immune system is part of the Unconscious mind, whose prime directive is to keep our bodies alive and healthy. Hypnotherapy helps us to get ourselves on track and in tune to be on the winning side of the job.

My services can be also aimed specifically on tasks or upcoming events in which you want to enhance your performance, manage your anxiety and optimise your energy to achieve excellence. For more about this, scroll up and click the PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT button (on the left).

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right." - words attributed to Einstein.

Definitely not. Everyone feels stuck with the way things are every now and again. You may end up with a negative disposition which lingers on and on after experiencing something going wrong, or if you’ve been wronged. Sometimes the problem become fused - distorting your personality, health and sense of self-worth. But I can help you can to completely change that.

You really want to address problems like this because they get built into your body and emotions – as part of you - even though you really hate it! Unfortunately the “problem parts” of us can shape our personality and can lead to unease (dis-ease), robbing us of our vitality and life potential. Hypnotherapy & NLP taps into the inner resources of your Unconscious mind, so you can re-program and heal yourself.

Fortunately our personal solutions are already within us, yet out of awareness. Our reasoning conscious brains can’t penetrate directly, but Hypnotherapy & NLP assist you in learning how to reach your unconscious mind.

The benefits of Hypnotherapy and NLP coaching will be effective very quickly – often with as few as four to six sessions - sometimes immediately.

I have first-hand experience of difficulty on many professional levels. Obstacles have continually shown up over my long career as a performer, teacher, composer and business owner. Just like everybody else, I have also encountered physical trauma and personal challenges which caused a lot of trouble for me. Previously, not knowing of any other way (like many others), I used hard effort and sheer determination to try to make changes, and to get things done. Eventually I was stopped in my tracks by serious physical injury coupled with emotional defeat. Reaching crisis point, I had no option but to find ways to go about healing myself and shifting my whole perspective. Through that process I discovered that reconnecting with my Unconscious mind, and tapping into its power, gave me insights, solutions and momentum to move forwards in a healthy flow. After much experimentation, research and training, my challenges have now changed shape - becoming smooth and exciting opportunities for problem solving, acting creativity and experiencing personal adventure. I am so grateful and amazed by what I’ve experienced, that I’m inspired to utilise the tools and processes with others. It’s very rewarding to help bring about positive change and to see powerful results in people’s lives. Read Amanda’s Musician Bio click here.

Hypnotherapy works quick and clean by recruiting the power of your Unconscious/Subconscious mind to get what you want. The power is within you to become the sort of person you want to be. Unlike many talk therapies, Hypnotherapy & NLP have agency within your neurology, rather than rehashing your remembered history. With new neurological connections, you what you want more quickly and efficiently. With my guidance you can become the new version of yourself - your most confident and excellent self.
