Making change easier...
An individual approach...
Professional. Qualified. Experienced.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a natural everyday state that we move in and out of in our daily living. Professional hypnotherapy utilizes this natural state to apply a model of therapy, encouraging release from self sabotage. It is gentle, private, and non intrusive.
Rest assured Brenda is a specialist in her field.
Counselling
Although there are many ways to facilitate change in our lives, sometimes professional counselling is the best option. Professional Counselling involves a qualified counsellor/therapist sitting in a space with another to help them to explore any challenges that they chose to bring to the counselling relationship with the goal of achieving relevant outcomes.
Supervision
Brenda is a recognised Specialist Supervisor with both the Australian Counselling Association and the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapy.

A Clinical Hypnotherapist uses the tool of hypnosis to encourage the client to achieve a state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation, however relaxation is not always necessary, nor is it the key. Although hypnotherapy is not technically meditation, guided imagery, relaxation or even deeper relaxation, the experience may feel similar. When in hypnosis, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the mind) takes a rest and the ability to utilize the qualities of the subconscious mind become available.
Your unconscious mind is watchful for your personal wellbeing. You are always in control and can even stop the process at any time. Contrary to popular belief you cannot be forced to think or do anything that is in conflict with your own will.
The experience of hypnotherapy is different for everybody, just as each session may feel different. It is likely that you remember most of what has been said, but at times your mind may wander and drift and you may experience small gaps. Sometimes you may remember very little.
Absolutely, although the style of counselling may change to fit the approach.
