Hypnotherapy is a gentle and effective therapy where focused relaxation is used to create subconscious change in individuals so they may embrace alternative, healthy and helpful ways of thinking, behaving and being.
Where we understand experiencing extreme stress, trauma or when facing certain challenges, it may cause our lives to feel as if they are unraveling.
Hypnotherapy is a natural, gentle therapy where focused relaxation is used to create subconscious changes in individuals allowing them to discover and embrace healthy perceptions of themselves, strengthen their self-esteem, confidence and resilience. We provide Hypnotherapy solutions for children, teens and adults. Appointments are available face to face in our Bayside Clinic or online over zoom.

Childhood should be full of joy, play, and curiosity — but sometimes, children face emotional or behavioural challenges that can disrupt their growth and happiness.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the large intestine and causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, fed up or even hopeless? Anxiety and depression can be both exhausting and debilitating, severely affecting your quality of life and the lives of those around you.
A phobia is a persistent and excessive fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. Phobias greatly impact a person’s daily life, by interfering with daily activities, and relationships and often cause them to avoid certain situations and experiences.

Clinical Hypnotherapy convinces the brain the stomach is full on smaller portions which unlike a diet won’t make you feel deprived, miserable or hungry which are some of the key factors as to why diets fail.

I have spent many years looking for a practitioner who could help me get to the root of my problems and neutralise them once and for all.

Couldn't recommend her enough - stop thinking and book in with her now! Sarah Medcalf2024-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend reaching out to Olivia for mental health support! I will be forever grateful for the enormous help and guidance she provided me at the beginning of the year (2024). I was struggling with fairly severe anxiety and within a short 6 week period, I finally felt like myself again - in fact the best I have felt in over 10 years. Hypnotherapy helped me fully step into my life and my authentic self. Thankyou, Olivia!

Its different for everyone. Some say they feel as is they are daydreaming, meditating, or so deeply relaxed they just didn’t want to move. Some hear everything that is said however others drift in and out and its all perfectly normal as your subconscious mind is alert while your conscious mind is taking a break. Most people lose track of time and often comment that the session was only 5 minutes when in fact they may have been in trance for 30 minutes.
