What
is?
Counselling
involves you talking with your psychologist about your issues, and the
psychologist helps you to understand and reframe the way that you think, so that
you think and feel differently about situations. You may do some
problem-solving exercises and learn different ways of approaching situations and
people. Counselling may take many sessions to be effective if you have
long-standing issues.
Hypnotherapy
addresses and works with your Inner Child, the subconscious aspect of yourself.
The process of hypnosis allows the therapist to go behind the scenes and work
directly without the negative or constraining influences of your conscious
mind. If change is to occur, it occurs at the level of your inner child,
also known as your sub-conscious.
Cognitive
psychology, positive psychology, behavioural therapy strengths-based psychology
etcetera, require you to examine your thinking and behaviours and focus on the
positives, on your strengths, and your desired goals. You could learn
things like the STOP technique, or how to dissect and rewrite negative thought
programmes for positive outcomes.
Psychotherapy
utilises different therapies that tend to work with the subconscious mind, and
access emotions or parts of yourself that may be in conflict.
Psychotherapy
may involve the use of art, drama or dance, role plays, voice dialogue,
integration of conflicting parts, and other therapeutic techniques.
Timeline
techniques take their name from the idea that each of us has a timeline along
which your subconscious stores both emotional and detailed information of
events, that could be positive or negative in their impact on you.
Your
timeline may contain constructed (imagined) details for the future, and store
past (remembered or blocked out) memories.
Timeline
techniques are guided visualization processes that rewrite the scripts of the
past, so that you let go of emotional baggage and install positive ways of being
and behaving.
When
these new and positive ways are installed right back at the very beginning, a
ripple effect occurs so that the new ways flow through your timeline to change
your perception of old events, so that they no longer have any emotional charge
and feel neutral.
Additionally,
these new and positive ways of being, feeling and thinking, extend into your
future so that you are able to behave differently in situations which would
previously have triggered your old outdated responses.
On
completion, when you look back on your past, the emotional bags will have
disappeared and you really will feel neutral, or that stuff happened, and it's
behind you and doesn't bother you now.
Neuro
- the body's neurological responses such as you see in a change of skin
colour, muscle tone, eye movements, breathing patterns, hand or body
gestures, nervous tics;
Linguistic
- the language of the body and mind, so that includes all of the above, plus
speech - tone, rate of speech, grammar and use of visual, auditory,
kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory words, sentence composition;
Programming
- how we are programmed and how our subconscious stores these programmes so
that they are ingrained habits that become patterns of behaviour or thought
or emotions that kick in automatically. Your programmes act as filters
that prevent you from making positive changes, and because these programmes
are rooted in the subconscious or inner child, those old outdated programmes
are extremely difficult to change from a conscious cognitive approach.
A
bit like knowing that one should not eat certain foods and still eats them
anyway!
NLP
is a way of building rapport, of communicating, and of using various
psychotherapy techniques to make change at the level of the subconscious mind,
which is much faster and easier than doing it through the conscious cognitive
mind.
The
process is taught to the parents or caregiver, who deliver specific gentle and
loving statements to the child, while the child is asleep. The trick is to
deliver these statements at the correct phase of the sleep cycle so that the
statements are absorbed without interference from the critical conscious mind.
These
statements are delivered nightly, may be backed up during the day with positive
reinforcement and can be tailored to the child's specific situation after 4 to 6
weeks of an initial phase.
This
process takes a couple of hours and involves rating the emotional baggage
that you are weighed down with, then being guided in specific visualisation
processes so that you install an automatic response pattern which is
soothing, calming and interrupts the old way of feeling, thinking and
responding.

Hypnosis and Timeline
Techniques do Work
4 regular sessions of hypnosis
may help you to give up smoking and
get lasting results. Smoking is a regular habit so regular sessions do get
great results when you want to quit smoking. Research shows that by having
4 to 6 sessions, the success rate for hypnosis is about 96%!
When you quit smoking with hypnosis, there is no craving, and no desire to
smoke. Plus, you may take care of your weight issues at the same
time. How good is that? Great!
Depression
Most people don't realise that
depression is made up of many factors:
-
Memory problems, especially
short term memory
-
Sleep irregularity - can be
oversleeping, under sleeping or broken sleep
-
Inability to see a future
for yourself
-
Feelings of helplessness
and hopelessness
-
Irritability and/or anger
-
Low or non-existent sex
drive
-
Eating irregularity -
overeating, under eating
-
Withdrawal and even
isolation from normal and social
activities
-
Difficulty making decisions
If you're experiencing all or
most of the above, do seek help for depression quickly. You can be treated with my
psychological services, in conjunction with natural therapies and/or medication.
In
between your psychology sessions, which are usually structured 1 week apart, you are able
to email me and have a quick 5 minute phone call.
After
each session, and sent by email, you will receive motivational boosters, plus a
'white paper' with information for homework or just to ponder on.
Homework
is an important aspect because it helps you to practise stress management and
implement what you have learnt. When homework is provided, I do expect you
will be committed to completing it as I
only work with people who fully desire to be well, healthy and happy.
Think Straight
& Feel Great!
Your investment in your health is the most important commitment you will
ever make. Without your health, what does your life mean to you?
Your sessions may be claimed from private health funds, according to the
regulations of your health fund.
Psychology
/ NLP sessions are usually 50 minutes in
length, and many people will only require 5 or 6 sessions. However, if your
situation is complicated, you may require more than that. Without meeting
you and assessing you, it would be incorrect to say exactly how many sessions
you will need. Sometimes it really is a question of, "how long is a
piece of string?"
If
you have private health cover, you may be able to obtain a rebate from your
health fund. Please check with your Health Fund for your individual
circumstance.
Your
symptoms need to meet the criteria for a serious mental health disorder or your
GP cannot make the referral to a psychologist for sessions under the Mental
Health Shared Care Plan. If
you do not have private health cover, then a referral from your GP to myself as the
psychologist, may be possible if you meet the criteria for a Mental Health Shared Care Plan.
When you make the
appointment for your GP, make sure you request a longer session time as the
assessment is quite thorough.
Then, when you have paid for your
psychology session,
you claim your visit on Medicare or your health fund and get a rebate - $78 from Medicare,
and less from private funds. There
is a gap between the fee for the session and what Medicare or Health
Insurance covers, which you need to meet yourself at the time of your
appointment.
