Can negative beliefs and habits be changed with hypnosis?

Negative beliefs, self criticism, stress and anxiety can become a bad habit.
Dwelling on these emotions long enough will create habits you “don’t want”.

For example, it’s very difficult to succeed at being confident, if your beliefs are demoralising.
Unintentionally criticising and putting yourself down creates mental turmoil.

Overcome your negativity and stop being your own worst enemy.
Take advantage of hypnosis services and the power within your mind. Make positive changes in your life.
There is no better time than today.

Even though you can’t see it, you do have a deeper intelligence within you. I’m sure you’ve sensed there’s more to you, than you’ve acknowledged before.

How can hypnosis services help me?

Most importantly though, whilest in hypnosis you’ll visualise living your life the way you want it to be. Rather than the way it was in the past. You will be guided to tap into strengths and resources to make lasting changes.

You are filled with hopes, dreams and mixed emotions. 
There’s more to you than you’ve realised. Create lasting changes, make your goals become your reality. 
Remove limiting beliefs and start to appreciate yourself for who you truly are. 
Rediscover the wise part of you.

You are what you repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. ~ Aristotle

What to expect when you visit a hypnotherapist in Annandale, Inner West, Sydney?

Are you wondering, what to expect during a session with a clinical hypnotherapist? 

During your hypnosis session you sit in a comfortable chair, listening to my voice guiding you. Your body steadily relaxes and your mind drifts off as you lose track of time. Gradually, words and sounds become more distant… but the positive suggestions continue to affect you, quietly and almost automatically.

Rest assured. you will not be put under, or put to sleep. Essentially though, you will remain aware of your surroundings and fully in control. When you’re in hypnosis you generally feel calm and relaxed, and you are more open to suggestions.

Being in hypnosis will actually be a familiar experience. Because you already use hypnosis in your daily life. Hypnosis is a natural phenomena of your mind. You come in and out of trance-like states daily, without knowing that its happening.

Perfect example of hypnosis is when you are driving a car. For instance, you arrive at your familiar destination but you don’t recall most of the trip.

Simply put, in hypnosis you easily become more responsive to positive suggestions being made.

FAQs about Hypnosis Services

Funnily enough, no. I don’t swing a watch to put you in a trance or make you do weird things. 
Forget about what you’ve seen on stage shows or Hollywood movies.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy, defined as a hypnotic trance used to create new responses, attitudes or behaviours. 

Simply put, Clinical Hypnotherapy is frequently used for relief of stress, anxiety and panic attacks. As well as resolving chronic procrastination, emotional turmoil, trauma and overcoming bad habits and addictions. Thereby, hypnosis treatments are successfully used for stopping smoking, gambling, nail biting, binge drinking, comfort eating, sugar craving and weight issues. Similarly, hypnotherapy helps with pain management, insomnia, IBS gut problems, unexplained infertility, childbirth and much more.

Most importantly, suggestions made in hypnosis are especially designed to initiate beneficial self-care improvements with motivation, self-worth and self-confidence.

An experienced and registered clinical hypnotherapist, will safely guide you through a process of hypnosis. Assisting you to gain desired changes in the way you think, feel and respond. Recent research studies have proven that you are not hardwired and stuck in your old behaviours. Additionally, in the state of hypnosis, your brain can rewire neural pathways, through a process called neuroplasticity. Therefore, individually structured suggestions in clinical hypnosis can initiate desired changes and, bring about positive results.

Basically, when you are hypnotised you are not in some sort of a weird or unrecognisable state. That’s because, even when you are hypnotised you are still aware of what’s being said to you. You are in a similar brain frequency to sleep, but you are not asleep. So whilst you are hypnotised you are relaxed and aware, yet more responsive to suggestions.

Majority of people say hypnosis and trance feel like a very familiar experience. That’s because you experience different states of hypnosis daily. Although you don’t even realise it. Much like, driving a car, almost on auto-pilot. While you are in hypnosis your attention is so focused (again, think of driving a car) whereby distractions are temporarily blocked out or ignored.

Hypnotherapy does work, especially when you have a strong desire to make changes. For example; if you are keen to stop smoking, then hypnotherapy can work for you. But it will not force you into becoming a non-smoker against your will. In other words, hypnotherapy really works, when you are committed to quitting limiting beliefs, bad habits and behaviours.

If you are not ready or willing – hypnotherapy is not going to work against your will. In other words, you can’t be forced into hypnosis. Or forced into doing anything you don’t want to do. This is why hypnosis is not an ideal choice for people who are “not committed” to it. For example; half hearted New Year Resolutions to quit smoking rarely work out. Same as getting talked-into quitting by friends, family or GP, will not produce desired results, if the patient is not ready to stop.

Hypnotherapy is not recommended for patients who are suffering with hallucinations or psychotic symptoms and delusions. Similarly, hypnotherapy sessions are not suitable for people who are under the influence of narcotics, drugs or alcohol.

Rest assured, being in hypnosis is not mind control. That’s because being in hypnosis is a natural mind phenomena, which primarily connects you to your inner intelligence.

The experience of a hypnotic trance is a safe state of mind. One that you naturally go in and out of daily. Trance is a deeper kind of inner absorption, mindfulness and concentration.

Firstly, it’s important to mention that hypnotherapy is a brief form of therapy. Having said that,, it also depends on the type of issues you want to resolve.

On average about three or four sessions are recommended. Although, traumatic or deeper emotional issues will need a more concentrated effort of up to six sessions or more.

Studies indicate that it takes 28 days to create new habits. Above all, repetition is the key to lasting change. For best results, your commitment and follow through with the recommended sessions is going to be paramount. 

General hypnotherapy session cost is $250.00 and for more serious issues such as Habits and Addictions it’s $350 per session. Discounts apply if you pre-pay several sessions in advance you will save money. On average a typical session lasts about an hour. Click here to look up the full list of fees and discounts for all hypnotherapy services.

Realistically, it’s important to emphasise that hypnotherapy is the start and not the finish of an inner process. Keep in mind that hypnosis is not a magic wand and results don’t always happen overnight. Just as importantly, give yourself a chance to recognise that positive behavioural changes and mental health improvements continue, for quite some time, after the sessions are done. 

Hypnosis CDs are downloadable and highly recommended, because they provide with you support after the sessions. The CDs are therapeutic and particularly effective in eliminating daily symptoms of emotional stress and anxiety. Learn more about Hypnosis CDs benefits.

Unfortunately it is not covered by Medicare.

No. You don’t need to bring a referral from your doctor. However, with some health issues or pain, its advisable to see your doctor first. Just to rule out any underlying cause of your physical or emotional health issues.

Information you provide during your hypnotherapy session is kept strictly private and confidential.

An experienced clinical hypnotherapist will help you create positive inner beliefs. In hypnosis you will set the wheels in motion, to make positive changes in the way you think, feel and behave.

I have been seeing Katherine for the past few weeks now for anxiety, stress and childhood trauma. My experience has been wonderful, Katherine has a passionate and caring nature and has made all my sessions so comforting. I’m happy to report that she has help me cope through my feelings of stress and anxiety. Been able to deal with situations and thoughts better. My daughter has also seen her for gambling issues and the results have been great. Thank you so much Katherine, forever grateful.

I have been seeing Katherine for the last 5 weeks for a few long standing issues. I specifically received PSH Therapy which is is non confrontational, gentle and relaxing. Katherine has been the most wonderful and caring therapist I've been to in a long time. Highly recommended.

I was skeptical but open to it. I'm so glad i went, very effective. With a few sessions (over two separate periods) i was able to overcome my anxiety driving and at work, and was able to obtain my driver license and got two promotions at work soon thereafter. To this day (7 years later) i still remember key messages given to me by Katherine when driving! If you are on the fence, give it a go. Can't rate it high enough. Katherine inspired me to study hypnotherapy...

I cannot recommend Katherine enough! She helped us with hynobirthing preparation for all three of our children's births. On our third child she also helped my wife through some anxiety issues around the birth. Each birth was both calm and quick with each child entering the world in a very tranquil way. We are very lucky to have crossed her path. If you are considering using Katherine's services then don't hesitate as we had the best experience with her.

I went to see Katherine because of my anxiety. I had only two sessions and saw a noticeable improvement with not only my anxiety but also my concentration & clarity, especially at work. I used to get so worked up about little things but finding I'm much better than I was. Very happy with my experience!
