Clinical hypnotherapy on the Mornington Peninsula

five-star reviews. Not one below.

Around 70% of what we do each day runs on autopilot — habits, reactions and beliefs the conscious mind never gets a vote on. Hypnotherapy works with that layer directly.

You'll be relaxed and fully aware the whole time. Closer to guided meditation than anything you've seen on television.

Awake the whole time

You can speak, move and stop at any moment.

One goal at a time

We start with what you actually came in for.

A recording to keep

So the work continues between sessions.

In person or on Zoom

What we work on

Most people come in with one clear goal. We start there.

Settle the racing mind, the tight chest, and the thoughts that arrive at 3am. Most people notice a shift within two or three sessions.

If you're reading this at 3am

That's usually when people find us. The mind that won't switch off, the same worry on a loop, the alarm four hours away. It isn't a character flaw and it isn't permanent — it's a pattern, and patterns can be changed.

Anita is truly amazing, and hypnotherapy has completely changed my life. I sought support for infertility, IVF, and workplace stress. Anita created such a calm, supportive, and understanding environment that made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. I only wish I had found her years ago!

Anita is amazing. Who knew that by closing your eyes they can be opened to a more happy and healthy path. A great therapist but also a lovely caring human. Still Sober 👌

I have benefited so much from working with Anita. She provides a very safe and relaxed space to engage in the hypnotherapy experience, and it's so helpful to be able to continue at home with the recordings she provides.

Anita is warm and kind. She knows her stuff and I would recommend her. Thank you for the products and your knowledge.

After three days I noticed such a positive change. He was calmer, there was less arguing in the mornings, and instead we could take the dog for a beach walk as a family. He's happy to go to school now, and he no longer wets the bed.

My son has autism and high anxiety, and during Covid he'd go three nights without sleeping. Thanks to SleepTalk he now sleeps through the night. Our family life has become harmonious, happy and calm.
What to expect

No swinging watches. Nothing you don't agree to.

Four steps, start to finish.

We talk first

A conversation about what you want changed and what's been getting in the way. No hypnosis in the first part of session one.

We work on one thing

Not a general wellness plan. The specific pattern you came in to change.

You relax, fully aware

Deep relaxation while completely conscious. Most people describe it as the most rested they've felt in months.

You take it home

A recording to listen to between appointments, so you don't book more sessions than you need.
