About me

My practice
I am an eclectic therapist with my roots based in Ericksonian (Milton) hypnotherapy/psychotherapy. For me as a therapist, Ericksonianism is the most effective and certainly the most economical way for a client to find their way forward.

I’m simply not interested in seeing clients for a long time and chose my discipline because of the amazing help I knew that Ericksonian therapists could initiate in their clients.

Sometimes I use NLP techniques, along with brief effective therapy. My turnaround time is usually 1 to 6 sessions, a maximum of 12 sessions for deep-seated problems, but normally we work so fast and effectively that you are seldom in therapy for long.*

My philosophy is to assist you to become your own self-healer, helper and motivator.

I am simply a mind mechanic who can suggest which button, lever and switch might be used to effect the change required.

I am fascinated and devoted to human development through therapeutic approaches combined with hypnosis. I am the author of the books Investigating Stage Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis for Life: Mind, Body & Spiritual Excellence.

One of my specific areas of expertise is helping people overcome alcohol and drug addiction.

I teach masterclasses to other hypnotherapists on how to treat clients with alcohol and substance problems and present at both the Australian Hypnotherapists Association and the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists. My latest book (2018) is Stop Drug & Alcohol Addiction: A Guide for Clinical Hypnotherapists.

I also specialise in sex, gender and sexuality.

I regularly speak, lecture, teach and hold workshops on a wide variety of topics.

I am also a naturopath and medical herbalist who is trained in nutritional medicine.
