How Hypnotherapy Helps You Take Control of Your Mind
Have you ever thought about the way you think? Most of the time we operate on auto-pilot, repeating thoughts, addictive habits and self-limiting beliefs, such as, that we’re not good enough or have to be perfect, that no longer serve us. The brain’s natural efficiency is useful, but it can also trap us in outdated patterns of behaviour. That’s where proven hypnosis and NLP can help. By tapping into the subconscious mind, you can reframe negative thought patterns, calm emotional triggers, learning how to manage your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and habits can be incredibly freeing, supporting and enable you to reach your goals.
This kind of transformational change doesn’t come from willpower alone – it comes from aligning your conscious goals with your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy Brisbane, NLP techniques and other proven hypnosis methods work together to confidently quiet the noise of cravings and triggers, self-sabotage, shift long held beliefs and dependencies. These approaches give you real, sustainable tools for transformation.
Hypnotherapy FAQ's
A Clinical hypnotherapist is a registered, highly trained and experienced professional hypnotherapist that has extensive client therapy hours gained over several years. There are several hypnotherapy organisations in Australia who’s requirements may slightly differ.
Diane is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and is registered with the Australian Hypnotherapy Association and The Australian Society of Hypnotherapists.
Have you ever been so engrossed in a film or a book that you seemed unaware of what was going on around you? Maybe you have been driving or travelling to a familiar destination and can’t remember parts of your journey. Well you were in a natural trance like state. Don’t worry your subconscious is in a profound state of awareness and always listening so if an actual danger was imminent or a real smoke alarm went off you would be back alert and able to react to the situation.
Hypnosis for therapy is enabling the client to reach focussed attention in a deeply relaxed physical and mental state. Whilst in this deeply relaxed state, it allows the client to access vast pools of resources already within the subconscious mind, helping them overcome limiting beliefs and emotional blocks that are preventing them from doing what they want. Hypnosis works by rapidly and effectively empowering people to change and update subconscious beliefs, for example, ” I will never be able to lose wight because it’s too hard” to new and more positive thoughts.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro – Your Thinking Processes. The way you use your senses to understand what’s happening around you.
Linguistic – Your Words. How you use language and how it influences you and those around you.
Programming – Your Behaviour. How you organise your ideas and reactions, and how this affects you and others.
How often have you thought you were ‘asking for something’ and you got something else?
It is the same with our mind. Think of the conscious mind as the GoalSetter and the subconscious mind as the Goal Getter. If we don’t communicate clearly what we want, what our goals are, we will always get something else. Whatever it is realise your subconscious mind only does that because it thinks that’s what you want.
We may even feel we are “stuck”, never seem to move forward, get overlooked and never get that promotion, get our needs met, feel fulfilled.
“Thank you, here is your procrastination with a side serving of anxiety. I’ve also told the valet to bring up your old emotional baggage as per your request. Will you be needing anything else”?
NLP is like the User Manual for your brain. When you learn the language and communicate better your subconscious mind will finally get what you want in life.
Hypnotherapy can be used for a wide variety of conditions, too numerous to mention. Below is a list of the most common presentations in my clinic.
However there are some medical conditions out of scope of my practice and would require a specialist referral, such as Bi-Polar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality disorders, taking anti-psychotic medications and undiagnosed pain.
- Get Rid of Anxiety – feel better physically, emotionally and mentally, breakdown negative destructive patterns and replace them with more comfortable ways of thinking
- Over-indulgence – alcohol, smoking, vaping, gambling, shopping, social media to name a few. Make the choice to get back in control
- Weight Loss – overcome cravings, emotional eating, long held beliefs about body image or want a new relationship with food and stress. Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis is also available
- Phobias – spiders, snakes and other mammals, claustrophobia, agoraphobia, trypanophobia (needles and injections), emetophobia (vomiting)
- Fears – driving over bridges/on highways, flying, heights, going to the dentist or medical appointment, being alone. Gain the confidence to leave your fears in the past.
- Trauma – whether from a single event or multiple events traumatic memories don’t fade like ‘normal’ memories. Let me help you comfortably and quickly escape the horrors of trauma, without retraumatisation, enabling you to process those memories so they can fade and you can be emotionally free to get on with the life you want to live
- Grief and Sadness – reach acceptance and peace calmly without guilt
- Internal chatter and negative self talk – stop the thoughts that confuse you and restrict you moving forward

Emotional relaxation is beneficial for your whole system and improves overall health and wellness.
I work with clients on a program basis. Each program is tailored to you and your individual needs. The number of sessions in a program is generally around 3-6 and this is based on an average of optimum sessions with my clients over the years for their particular condition. Everyone is unique so this is a general guide.
The initial contact is generally a phonecall, either a direct enquiry or via the contact form/email. If you have booked a program online I will call you before your first session.
I will have a complementary phone consultation with the client in which we discuss, their reason for seeking hypnotherapy and the outcome they want to achieve. It is an opportunity for the client to also get to know me a little better and ask any questions they may have about the services.
During this call we can also make a booking for your first session.
The first session is 2hrs comprising a general questionnaire, and then we breakdown the specifics of the presenting issue and the outcome you want. From this information and your words, I will use the most appropriate and effective techniques for the remainder of the session. Hypnotherapy is not a talk therapy but really is about taking Action. I also don’t need to know in great detail ‘the back story’. As long as you are open and honest with yourself, your subconscious is always listening. If you choose to not communicate with yourself well ( see What is NLP?) your subconscious will likely filter out anything it thinks is irrelevant and that is a missed opportunity.
Follow – up sessions are generally 1 hr, minimum 7 days and from the 3rd onwards client driven. We start these sessions with a brief, “how have things been since the last sessions-positives and any challenges” and get down to work.
A Hypnotherapy program is an investment in your long-term health, wellness and fulfilling life.
The cost of the programs depends on the standard number of sessions based on outcomes as mentioned previously. As a rule this is $230/hr.
It is not covered by Medicare. If you have private health insurance, some of the Health funds will reimburse out of your extras packages, however I do not have any control of this and it depends on your policy.

Phobias and Fears can have a profound effect on our lives. Limiting our potential and robbing us of precious moments.
Fear is a natural response to perceived danger, triggers our fight, flight or freeze instincts, often accompanied by anxiety symptoms like a racing heart, sweating and sense of paralysis. These phobias and irrational fears disrupt our daily routines and hinder our ability to engage in normal day to day activities. But there is a solution to Empower yourself to break free – Hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy for phobias offers an effective approach to conquering your fears. The therapeutic techniques of hypnosis and NLP transformation can help you detach from the anxious and fearful responses linked to your phobias. In their place we cultivate a more calming and controlled state of mind, one where fear holds no power.
Are you ready to change the irrational to rational?
If phobias and fears are hindering you from leading a normal life, it’s time to consider the transformative potential of hypnotherapy. Take the courageous step towards freedom today and embrace a future where phobias and fears no longer define your choices.
Escape the grips of Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and phobias with speed and comfort, without the need to relive the traumatic events. In the past, severe anxiety-based conditions like PTSD and phobias were often believed to only responded to lengthy and agonising exposure therapy, and sometimes deemed untreatable. However there is a more effective and gentle approach available.
Traumatic memories tend to linger unless properly processed, which is why I offer a Rewind approach that allows you to reprocess those memories without re-experiencing the trauma. The beauty of this technique is it doesn’t require you to go into the details of the traumatic event, and if it is easier for you, we can even use code words instead of explicit descriptions. Clients often find that as they confront and release the most distressing memories, the power of the related memories diminishes as well.
Experience emotional freedom, regain control and embark on a life filled with renewed resilience and confidence with hypnosis and NLP transformation today.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards discovering how you can regain control and reduce your drinking within healthy guidelines.
At my Hypnotherapy practice in Brisbane or via zoom, there are many clients, men and women just like you who have successfully transformed their lives by overcoming alcohol dependency, binge drinking and self-sabotage habits.

Perhaps over the years, you haven’t realised how much and how frequently you’ve simply been consuming alcohol and alcohol reduction has never been a thought.
Maybe you rely on alcohol to:
- relax
- gain confidence
- feel more chatty or less shy in social situations
- or worry about fitting in at work or with team mates if you don’t drink
- losing friends
- do what other people expect you to be
However these can be subconscious fears of not having the crutch of alcohol in your life.
Be honest with yourself – Are you starting to notice the impact alcohol is having on your life, relationships, work, health and overall wellbeing.
When one more is one too many, changing your mind with Hypnosis and NLP transformation can optimise your life and deliver a healthy future.
