Unlock your full potential with Hypnosis today
Anxiety can take a significant mental and physical toll. It can feel like your mind never switches off, uncertainty is difficult to sit with and putting things aside feels almost impossible. Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy can help you change the patterns that keep the anxiety going, so you can think more clearly, feel more in control and move forward with greater confidence and ease.
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you think, feel and respond long after the event itself has passed. Intrusive thoughts, emotional triggers and patterns of avoidance can make it difficult to feel in control or move forward. Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy can help you change the patterns that keep past experiences affecting the present, so you can respond to life with greater clarity, control and confidence.

You know how to set goals, get results and push yourself to achieve more. You have the drive, focus and determination to succeed. But what if you could achieve even more by working with your mind differently, rather than simply pushing harder? Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy can help you refine your mindset, strengthen self-belief and find a more flexible, sustainable way to perform at your best — without losing the ambition and standards that make you who you are.
Sometimes, the things we turn to for comfort, relief or a way to switch off can gradually become habits that feel increasingly difficult to control. Whether it’s alcohol, smoking, vaping, food or another behaviour, you can learn to respond differently and feel more in control of the choices you make. Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy can help you change the patterns behind the behaviour, develop new ways of responding and move forward with greater confidence and control.
Have you ever felt afraid of something even when you know, logically, that the danger is not real? A phobia can trigger an intense physical and emotional reaction that feels completely out of your control. Whether it’s flying, needles, spiders, heights, vomiting or something else, the fear can start to influence what you do, where you go and what you feel comfortable taking on. Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy can help you change the patterns that keep the fear going, so that you can approach situations with greater calm and confidence. The goal is to give you more freedom to do the things you want to do, without fear holding you back.
You’re tired, you want to sleep, but your mind doesn’t always seem to get the message. Perhaps you struggle to switch off at night, wake during the early hours or find yourself awake long before your alarm. Whatever your pattern, sleep can become something you think about, worry about and try increasingly hard to achieve. Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy can help you change the patterns around sleep, quieten mental overactivity and ease the pressure to fall asleep. The aim is to help you develop a calmer relationship with sleep, so you can switch off more easily and allow your mind and body to settle into a more natural rhythm.
Sometimes, the things you’re struggling with don’t fit neatly into a box or category. From managing anger and navigating relationship challenges to changing long-standing patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. Together, we can find a way forward that feels right for you.
Your Local Clinical Hypnotherapist in Essendon, Melbourne.
I specialise in anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and behavioural change. I work with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, constant worry, and self-doubt—supporting them to break free from unhelpful patterns and reconnect with clarity, confidence, and calm.
I combine evidence-based clinical hypnotherapy with strategic psychotherapy, taking a collaborative, client-centred approach. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. Rather than positioning myself as someone who “fixes” people, I walk alongside my clients—guiding the process while empowering them to do the powerful inner work that leads to lasting transformation.
With over 20 years of experience in high-pressure media and business environments—including senior roles in television production—I bring lived insight into stress, performance pressure, and the internal conflicts that often shape behaviour. I understand the quiet battles many people carry and offer both compassion and practical strategies to help resolve them.
I do not see behaviours as dysfunction or “self-sabotage,” but as protective patterns formed over time. Together, we identify those patterns, honour their purpose, and reshape them in alignment with the person you want to become. My work often includes addressing imposter syndrome, rebuilding self-worth, processing trauma, and supporting high performers to master their mindset.
I have a particular interest in high performance and mindset, working with professionals, creatives, and athletes to master their inner world and unlock their full potential. My work is trusted by a wide range of clients, including medical professionals, who value a grounded, ethical, and results-focused approach. I create a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients feel both supported and empowered—knowing that while I guide the process, they are the ones doing the powerful work.
I highly recommend Jen as I felt so comfortable and calm during our sessions. She is so friendly, warm and gentle. She created a safe, judgment free space where I felt nurtured and empowered with tools to overcome many issues that I have struggled with for so many years, some I wasn't even aware of before our sessions. Thanks so much Jen

Hypnosis is a tool to bypass the conscious mind.
The conscious mind is where we create our own barriers and limitations. By bypassing this, we can directly access the unconscious mind, where foundational changes can be made. In a state of focused relaxation, you are more able to ignore outside distractions and be more open to guided suggestions. These suggestions are tailored to your goals, aimed at improving your health and overall well-being. This approach is both safe and effective. You will be aware of everything that is going on around you. You will be able to hear me at all times. Some people describe it as a feeling of being here but not really here at the same time.
Strategic psychotherapy is a goal-oriented form of therapy that focuses on identifying and achieving specific therapeutic objectives and goals. It is results based, therefore it is less about the why you have the problem, and more focused on where you want to go. Uncovering why you do something, or why you have a particular challenge or behaviour, doesn’t actually solve the problem. By focusing on ‘how’ you do the problem we can more efficiently and effectively come up with a strategic solution to bring about lasting change.
Strategic psychotherapy draws from various therapeutic models and techniques, including cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and brief therapy approaches. Its primary objective is to empower clients by providing them with practical tools and strategies to address their concerns effectively.
Anyone who wants to overcome whatever it is holding them back in life. If you are tired of talking continuously about your problems and are ready to take action to fix the problem.
In your first therapy session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals for treatment. We will also talk about your medical history and any current symptoms you may be experiencing. We will come up with a plan together that matches your goals and expectations.
Choosing the right hypnotherapist is crucial for achieving your desired results, and here’s why I might be the right fit for you:
If you’re looking for a hypnotherapist who combines modern techniques with a results-driven approach, let’s discuss how I can help you achieve your goals.
The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Many clients attend therapy once a week, while others may attend less frequently. Together we will work out a personalised treatment plan. This is results based therapy so ongoing sessions over a long period of time will not be necessary.
There is no right or wrong way to experience hypnosis. Some people say you have to go into a deep state to get the best results. This is simple not true. The success of the session is not determined by how deeply you did or didn’t go. It is determined by your willingness to participate and engage in the experience.
Here are the typical steps you can expect during a hypnosis session:
Induction: You will be guided into a hypnotic state by encouraging
relaxation. This often involves gentle awareness of your internal breath or sensations in the body, allowing any thoughts to come and go while knowing that your subconscious mind knows exactly what to do.
Suggestions: During hypnosis, you will receive gentle suggestions
designed to help you achieve your goals. For example, you will be
empowered to take control of your thoughts and learn to distinguish
between what you can and cannot control. These are just part of a
broader approach aimed at fostering a sense of clarity and strength,
reinforcing the belief that change is possible and that many positive
shifts can occur in your life.
Emerging from hypnosis: At the end of the session, once you have
been given the time to absorb all the required information, you will be
gently guided to return to the here and now with full awareness.
Hypnosis is NOT sleeping. You are in a deep state of relaxation and focused attention.
Hypnosis is not a stage act or magic trick.
Clinical hypnosis is a type of medical therapy that’s often used as part of a treatment plan that includes traditional medical approaches. You can’t be made to do anything against your will. You won’t reveal any information that you wished to remain secret, and you don’t lose control over your behaviour. Hypnosis makes it easier to absorb suggestions but doesn’t force you to have a certain experience or to do anything you don’t choose to do.
