Hypnosis for Anxiety
Finally! Deal with Anxiety using Hypnosis
The way you are feeling now Is NOT something you have to live with.
The world for adults and children with anxiety isn’t easy. You’ve probably tried helping yourself to deal with it in many ways. I have a feeling you have had a long journey to get here, and perhaps your concerns weren’t taken seriously in some cases.
I understand how you feel, what you’re going through and I take every one of those feelings seriously. And let me just say, you have got what it takes to reduce the grip of anxiety for good. You just need a helping hand to get there.
Hi, I’m Lisa.
A Clinical Hypnotherapist, Strategic Psychotherapist, Trainer and the Owner of Effective Minds.
I’ve had the privilege of bringing comfort, control, and confidence to hundreds of people struggling with anxiety throughout my career.
While I am qualified to do traditional therapy, I often find this old process isn’t effective in addressing the real underlying issues.
Hypnosis often works when nothing else does. The unique hypnotic technique I use is the key to unlocking life-long changes that you can experience from the very first session.
Clinical Hypnotherapy where it suits you
Just like your Psychologist, I am a Clinical Professional in the Health Care Industry. We all need our Qualifications, and I have mine.
We want you to stop feeling trapped in life when you should be enjoying it
If you constantly focusing on “what if” questions, it can be exhausting and it keeps you stuck in the anxiety loop.
Maybe you feel like you need to avoid a certain thought or situation because of your fear or worry about it. Or, once in that situation, you might feel a feeling of panic, sick, or have sweaty palm or a racing heart. These are just a few of the symptoms many of my clients frequently used to have.
You may feel this way too. It’s unfair, but it’s not your fault.
What if you didn’t have to feel that way anymore?
To do that, we have to address the root cause of the issue: The mind’s overthinking, replaying, and trying to validate every unnecessary worry.
Traditional methods are missing the mark
As a trained and experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist and Strategic Psychotherapist I know exactly what you’re experiencing. It pains me deeply to see so many people who have therapy and yet they continue to struggle because the symptoms are being treated, not the cause.
A large and growing body of research says Hypnosis is the best tool for rewiring how your subconscious mind interacts with conscious behaviour.
This is because, during hypnosis, the subconscious mind is in a highly suggestible state. Similar to when you are fully absorbed in something, fully relaxed, and separate from any negative thoughts or feelings. (This happens naturally from time to time when we day-dream or lose focus for a moment)
David Spiegel, MD, Professor and associate chair of Psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford University, said: “In fact, it’s a very powerful means of changing the way we use our minds to control perception and our bodies.”
Clinical Hypnotherapy does more
Hypnosis often works for adults and children when no other treatment does: It interrupts the pattern that created the process. This allows for the creation of a new process, a new way to think about the problem, eliminating the anxiety.
The results can be life-changing when this is done in a clinical setting, using Hypnotherapy blended with Strategic Psychotherapy.

Real people; real results
Reluctant flyer
I was somewhat reluctant and unsure about how hypnosis worked as therapy but I am so very glad I made that first appointment to see Lisa. Lisa's friendly, relaxed manner put me at ease and she gave me the time I needed to feel comfortable and she started when I was ready. Hypnosis seemed to get down to a deep level, to the root of my anxieties. I have been able to board a plane... on my own and fly. I tell everyone about my experience because it has made such a huge positive difference to my life. Lisa, you are amazing!
Thanks Lisa
Lisa's combination of skills and intuition means she gets right to the heart of any matter you may be concerned about. While she helped me understand and work through the issue I had when I saw her, over time it felt like issues continued to be resolved more deeply.
Helped me immensely
After first seeing Lisa a couple of years back for the anxiety, panic attacks & insomnia, they were alleviated very quickly after a very short time of seeing you.
And now for the past year, during this extremely challenging time in my life, your therapy has literally been life-changing.
The hypnosis has been incredibly successful in reducing some very strong
negative emotions and feelings that were consuming me.
I just really wanted to let you know Lisa how much I appreciate what you do.
What a wonderful gift you have Lisa!
Lisa has been amazing in helping our son deal with anxiety, inflexible thought patterns and coping with school. She is very intuitive, with a unique ability to pinpoint the things that are blocking change then uses hypnosis to allow him to see and understand those blocks and identify strategies to overcome them. I have also benefited from some sessions with Lisa that have definitely decreased my own anxiety and improved my parenting confidence.
My daughter has changed a lot
I took my daughter to Lisa for some separation anxiety, and after 3 sessions, she was feeling calm, relaxed and ready to start the new school year. Thanks, Lisa
Made a difference in my life
Lisa has helped me with studying, self confidence, self esteem, and being less stressed. She is easy to talk to, gives great advice and suggestions during sessions.
We highly recommend Lisa
Our teenage son went to see Lisa about some fear and confidence issues, and we are thrilled with the results that Lisa has achieved for our son. We thought we would try hypnotherapy as everything else had failed, which really worked well for him. We highly recommend Lisa and thank her for helping our son.
We recommend Effective Minds to anyone
We want to thank you for what you have achieved for our son, Ben. He has always been quite ‘highly strung’, so we have really noticed how much more relaxed he is since beginning hypnotherapy. We recommend ‘Effective Minds’ to anyone, whether they need specific help or just want to learn how to relax. Your kind disposition and professional manner will serve you well in the future.
I feel much better
Since I visited with Lisa, she has helped me improve things that make me feel much better.
I’m so keen to meet you and get started!
It's time for you to become anxiety free, and love life again
FAQ
Anyone that can fall asleep then wake back up can be hypnotised. There is a large misconception that you need to be in a particular "state" for hypnosis to work. That's simply untrue. There would have been times when you lost focus for a moment, even while you were reading this page. That's a trance state. While you were daydreaming, you were still in complete control. You knew where you were and what you were doing. Well, it's the same, but I add in helpful suggestions, as your conscious mind loses focus.
Yes, hypnosis can be safe for children when conducted by a trained professional. In fact, children generally have positive results due to their amazing imagination.
Hypnosis is you making changes to how you think. When the hypnotic process begins, the changes happen in your head, not the room you are in. So hypnosis is just as effective at your place or in our clinic.
We do tend to do more sessions face to face as our clients like to be interacting in the same room. But that's a personal choice, not a results-based decision.
It varies from person to person. Only you would know how it feels like to you. If you drive a car and lose focus, it's like that. If you are talking with someone and suddenly you missed the last thing they said, it's like that. Some people who do a lot of meditation or relaxation sessions describe it like they have fallen asleep. Each person's perspective is correct for them.
Absolutely! There is a large and ever-growing body of research to support its benefits. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I used science-based evidence in my approach. Unfortunately, in its dramatisation on TV and stage performance over history, it has been represented as a forceful mind-control where those hypnotised are unaware of their actions. In reality, the person being hypnotised is always in complete control of the situation.

We work with health insurance providers, but their acceptance of hypnotherapy as a valid method for change is questionable. Our Association gives us a health-fund provider number. However, not all health funds participate. Depending on your health fund, you may have the opportunity to get a rebate back on your session. It's important to note that this is not anything we can assist with. You must present our invoice to them after full payment for our services. More times than not, there is no cover.
Yes Absolutely! Hypnosis is all about using your imagination, visualising and thinking about things differently than before. With my experience as a Conversational Hypnotherapist, I work with children as young as six years old through to adults. If you have a child or teenager with anxiety getting them help earlier in their life is one of the best gifts you can give your child as a parent.
