Understanding Trauma and How We Can Help in the Heart of Strathmore, near Essendon
Trauma
We all experience the world through our own unique perspectives, and this influences how we handle events and situations in our lives. What might be traumatic for one person could serve as a turning point for someone else. At MindWise Strategies, we understand that everyone’s experience is distinct, and we are committed to tailoring our approach to meet your specific needs through strategic hypnotherapy.
When trauma takes hold, it can feel as though you are controlled by the past, leaving you struggling to regain a sense of agency. This can lead to persistent intrusive thoughts, feelings of anxiety, helplessness, or hopelessness, and a future that feels overwhelmingly grim.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure yet? Here are the answers to some common questions
Clinical Hypnotherapy utilises the power of hypnosis to navigate past the conscious mind, where limitations often arise. By doing so, we can directly access the unconscious mind, where foundational changes can take place. During sessions, you enter a state of focused relaxation, enabling you to filter out distractions and be open to personalised suggestions aimed at enhancing your overall well-being. This technique is safe and effective, keeping you aware of your surroundings and fully engaged. Many clients describe the sensation as feeling present yet slightly detached—an ideal state for exploring new pathways to personal development.
Strategic psychotherapy is a results-oriented method that centres on defining and achieving specific therapeutic goals. This approach shifts the focus from understanding the underlying reasons for a problem to determining your desired outcomes. While exploring the “why” of a challenge can be insightful, it often does not yield actionable solutions. Instead, by examining “how” the problem manifests, we can more efficiently devise strategic solutions that lead to meaningful change.
- Problem-solving focus: This therapy addresses specific concerns or symptoms the client wishes to tackle, avoiding extensive life history discussions.
- Collaborative approach: The therapist collaborates with the client to set clear, realistic goals, creating strategies to reach them. The client leads the dialogue, while the therapist provides guidance.
- Directive techniques: The therapist employs direct suggestions, tasks, or assignments to drive change and progress towards objectives.
- Flexibility: Therapists modify their approach based on the individual client’s needs and progress, ensuring a personalised experience.
Drawing from diverse therapeutic frameworks, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and brief intervention techniques, strategic psychotherapy aims to equip clients with effective tools and strategies to tackle their challenges.
Anyone wanting to conquer the challenges that hinder their personal growth can benefit from this therapy. If you’re exhausted from discussing the same issues repeatedly and are ready to engage in a proactive approach, this method is tailored for you. It’s especially suited for individuals who crave actionable insights and prefer a structured framework that focuses on achieving specific goals—allowing you to take control of your journey and make meaningful progress in your life.
Your first therapy session will involve a discussion about why you’re seeking therapy and the specific goals you hope to achieve. We’ll also cover your medical background and any current issues you might be dealing with. Together, we’ll formulate a plan that suits your needs and aligns with your desired outcomes for the therapeutic process.
Selecting the right hypnotherapist is vital for achieving your goals, and here’s why I may be the ideal choice for you:
- Innovative Techniques: I employ the latest hypnotherapy techniques that integrate contemporary advancements, ensuring you benefit from effective practices tailored to various issues.
- Results-Oriented Approach: My method combines strategic psychotherapy with hypnotherapy, focusing on achieving concrete, measurable outcomes that align with your specific aspirations.
- Tailored Treatment Plans: Each session is customised to address your unique needs. By merging innovative hypnotherapy practices with established psychotherapy strategies, I create a plan that reflects your personal objectives.
- Research-Based Methods: My practices are rooted in the latest evidence, guaranteeing high-quality care that is both effective and trustworthy.
- Compassionate Environment: I strive to offer a safe and supportive space for you to explore your challenges and work toward meaningful change.
If you seek a hypnotherapist who combines modern techniques with a results-driven philosophy, let’s explore how I can assist you in achieving your goals.
The frequency of your therapy sessions will be tailored to your specific needs and objectives. While many clients opt for weekly sessions, others may choose to meet less often. Together, we will develop a personalised treatment plan that suits your circumstances. Since this is a results-oriented approach, prolonged sessions over an extended period aren’t typically necessary.
There’s no right or wrong way to experience hypnosis. While some may believe that reaching a deep state is necessary for the best outcomes, that’s simply not true. The effectiveness of a session relies more on your willingness to engage and participate in the process than on how deeply you feel relaxed. You can still achieve meaningful results regardless of your level of relaxation.
Here are the typical steps you can anticipate during a hypnosis session:
- Induction: You will be guided into a hypnotic state by encouraging relaxation. This process often involves focusing on your breath and bodily sensations, allowing thoughts to drift while understanding that your subconscious mind knows how to respond.
- Suggestions: While in this state, you will receive gentle suggestions aimed at helping you achieve your goals. You’ll be empowered to take control of your thoughts and learn to differentiate between what you can and cannot control. This approach fosters clarity and strength, reinforcing the belief that positive change is possible.
- Emerging from Hypnosis: As the session concludes, you will have time to absorb the insights gained. You will then be gently guided back to full awareness, returning to the present moment with renewed clarity.
No, hypnosis is not akin to sleep. Instead, it’s a state of deep relaxation and concentrated awareness. You stay alert and engaged throughout the experience, which sets it apart from the unconsciousness of sleep.
Clinical hypnosis is not at all like the stage performances you see in entertainment. It is a serious therapeutic practice often used alongside traditional medical therapies. You have complete control during the process; you can’t be made to do anything against your will, and you won’t reveal information you want to keep private. While hypnosis can help you better accept suggestions, it doesn’t take away your autonomy or force you into any actions you don’t choose to take.
