My therapeutic approach integrates clinical hypnotherapy to help clients enter deep states of focus, where they can reshape and reframe behaviours and perceptions. Simultaneously, i use strategic psychotherapy techniques which delve into underlying causes, providing practical solutions that promote meaningful change. This combination ensures a comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience.

Traditional therapies have their place however simply are not as effective as Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Traditional solutions will often keep a person in endless numbers of sessions, ruminating over an unchangeable past. My strategic approach will achieve real change quickly, altering your limiting behaviours and have you back on the path of truly enjoying life.

It’s common in today’s world for people to feel stuck, suffer anxiety and depression or simply feel inadequate. The answer is not in ruminating over an unchangeable past. The story of the past is important however not where I will focus. Instead, we’ll focus on the behavioural pattern(s) you currently run run due to that past. This pattern of behaviours, beliefs, and habits is where we can make significant change. Through Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy, I have the techniques and knowledge to identify your limiting behaviours and help you rediscover how to live life.

I studied at the Institute of Applied Psychology in Sydney, one of the world’s leading institutions at the forefront of the strategic approach, without a doubt the most comprehensive qualifications available today. I graduated in Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy, as well as being a Certified NLP Master Practitioner. This combination provides a proven modality of psychology, extremely effective in the treatment of anxiety, depression, anger management, weight loss, smoking cessation, low self esteem and limiting habits to name a few, and as a means to enhance a person’s overall performance and wellbeing.

Time and time again, I have found that people have the solutions and skills within them to be able to address life’s challenges. The problem is that people become so caught up in their daily lives and learned perceptions that they can’t see the forest for the trees. I will help you find the clarity you need, unlocking the skills and resources that you likely already possess. This will set you back on the path to enjoying life again.

Clients deserve treatment that works. If you are suffering with mental health problems, have been through other therapies and still need help, you are in the right place.

So many therapies consist of going over your past to try to identify why you have problems. This can be insightful, but it doesn’t really help you in your life because it doesn’t give you the skills to help you create a happy and healthy life and future.

In fact, when you link problems that you are having today to an unchangeable past event it can solidify that problem and disempower you to know that change is possible. It can leave you feeling stuck and hopeless and helpless.

At Macarthur Complete Health we use Strategic Psychotherapy in combination with Clinical Hypnotherapy, which is a holistic, natural approach to mental health. 

This modern approach is tailored to you and focuses on the patterns of thoughts that you have that aren’t helpful and seeks to replace them with more useful ones.

Using hypnosis for mental health problems is a particularly powerful way to deliver therapy and help you to move forward with your life in a happy healthy way.

This effective treatment for your symptoms will get you results quickly without the nasty side effects of antidepressants with results that can last a lifetime because not only will you “feel” better, but you will also “do” better.

Unlike other therapy modalities, our clients on average only require between 5-7 sessions. It’s quick and very effective.

Compared to other modalities of therapy, hypnosis has been shown to get results in 93% of recipients and is far more effective treatment than other methods.

You can’t change your past, but you can change your future using Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to treat clinical depression.
