One of the city’s longest-running hypnotherapy clinics, and rated among Canberra’s top three hypnotherapists every year since 2017. Two qualified therapists, not one — so you have continuity, capacity and a second perspective.
Lived and professional experience of neurodivergence, with a strong working understanding of profiles such as PDA (persistent drive for autonomy), alexithymia, interoception differences and rejection sensitivity. You won’t have to explain yourself from scratch, and nothing about how your brain works is treated as a problem to be corrected.
Deep experience working alongside gender diverse and sexuality diverse clients and the wider community. You are welcome exactly as you are, and your identity is never the thing being treated.
Educated and experienced across a wide range of mental health conditions and presentations, so you can speak freely without simplifying your history. This is a non-clinical service: we don’t diagnose or treat mental illness, and we’re glad to work alongside your GP, psychologist or psychiatrist rather than in place of them.
No two people arrive with the same history, so no two sessions look the same. The pace, the approach and what we focus on are shaped around you rather than run from a template — and we adjust as we go, as we learn what works for you.
We work in a trauma-informed way: you set the pace, you stay in control, and you are never pushed to revisit anything you don’t want to.
The questions people ask us most often before booking their first session.
Yes. We offer a free 20-minute discovery call, with no obligation and no pressure. It’s a chance to tell us what you’re hoping to change, ask whatever you want to ask, and get a clear sense of how we’d work together before you commit to anything. Call Stella on 0421 206 918 to arrange one.
Our clinic is at 42 Geils Court, Deakin ACT 2600, a few minutes from Woden and the city. We also run sessions by secure video for clients elsewhere in the ACT, in New South Wales and across Australia.
It depends on what you’re working on and how you respond. Many clients notice a meaningful shift within the first few sessions; others prefer a longer course of work. Every session is tailored to the person, so we’ll talk this through honestly at your discovery call rather than selling you a package before we’ve met.
No. Hypnosis is a focused, deeply relaxed state — closer to being absorbed in a film than to being asleep. You stay aware throughout, you can speak, and you can stop at any point. Nobody can be made to do anything against their values.
The things we’re asked for most are anxiety and stress, quitting smoking or vaping, weight and eating patterns, sleep, chronic pain, and the full range of addictions — alcohol, drugs, gambling, gaming and more. If you’re not sure whether your situation fits, ask us on the discovery call.
No, and we wouldn’t want it to be. This is a non-clinical service. We don’t diagnose or treat mental illness, and we work happily alongside your GP, psychologist or psychiatrist.
Yes, and with real depth of experience in both. Our practice is neuro-affirming, with an understanding of profiles such as PDA, alexithymia, interoception differences and rejection sensitivity, and we have long-standing experience working alongside gender diverse and sexuality diverse clients.
Contact us now to schedule your consultation and take the first step towards a calmer, more empowered you.
