Spiro and Stella bring decades of combined experience and a genuine passion for helping people transform their lives through hypnotherapy, strategic psychotherapy, and NLP.
Back in 2012 we discovered a shared passion beyond our regular careers. Amidst our full-time jobs, we found ourselves quietly assisting individuals in overcoming obstacles to success. These consultations stretched into evenings and weekends across Canberra, and reached clients around the country online. It became evident that we had something unique to offer — leading us to establish the Canberra Hypnotherapy Clinic.
As a husband and wife team, we are dedicated to helping our clients overcome challenges and unlock their true potential. Our approach combines Strategic Psychotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Clinical Hypnotherapy to create lasting, positive change more quickly and effectively than traditional talk therapy. Here is how hypnotherapy works, and what to expect from a first visit.
We have been doing this in Canberra since 2012, from our clinic at 42 Geils Court in Deakin and by secure video for clients across Australia. This is a non-clinical service — we don’t diagnose or treat mental illness, and we work alongside your GP, psychologist or psychiatrist rather than in place of them.
Free 20-minute consults can be booked by phone, text or message — no obligation
Clinical Hypnotherapist • Strategic Psychotherapist • NLP Master Practitioner
With a background in the hospitality industry spanning 30 years, I was ready for a change of direction. After a lifelong fascination with the mind, I went back to study and began learning about how our minds really work.
I studied Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy as well as Neuro Linguistic Programming to Masters level. I studied with the leading Australian trainer in these fields, Gordon Young, who mentors me to this day.
During the course of my study, I came to understand that all anxieties, fears, and depressive states are processes — and these processes can be changed through hypnosis. I believe deeply in the power of the mind to adapt to new circumstances and make positive changes.
My approach is to clear the negative processes that have blocked you from attaining your goals and dreams. By using hypnosis, I am able to access the unconscious mind where all these processes are stored, bringing helpful processes to the forefront and creating lasting, meaningful change.
Finally, I have found a profession that does not feel like work. I feel it is my humble privilege to be able to help others in a space of complete non-judgement.

My journey in alternative therapies began 20 years ago when I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After being unable to find relief through conventional medical means, I started to study the relationship between the mind and body.
After a naturopath suggested I try meditation, I started to become more mindful of my internal processes. I spent years reading, observing, and studying different techniques — including Emotional Freedom Technique, Breathwork, and Family Constellations.
I formalised my studies by attaining my Masters in Neuro Linguistic Programming and my Diploma in Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
I am endlessly fascinated with the way the mind works and human potential in general. I get a genuine kick out of watching my clients shift their thinking and tap into their own internal resources. I see what appear to be miracles happen every day — a simple shift in perspective opens up entirely new worlds of possibility.
I love the way hypnosis facilitates rapid change in an easy, relaxed mode. In our frenzied, fast-paced world, hypnosis is a complete antidote to pressure — creating a safe space to be present and allow the inner intelligence to find its own solutions.
