Clinical hypnotherapy · Northcote, Melbourne + online
Clinical hypnotherapy, without the performance.
A calm, collaborative way to work with focused attention, imagination, conversation and the patterns that may be asking for something different.
What it is
A familiar human capacity.
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention. You may recognise something similar when you become absorbed in music, a story, an image or a familiar journey.
Clinical hypnotherapy brings that capacity into a therapeutic conversation. Rachel may use imagery, metaphor, focused questions and suggestions that are shaped around you. You remain aware and able to speak, ask questions, pause or stop.
Shaped around you
There is no one-size-fits-all script. Rachel listens for the wider context—what has been happening, what matters to you, the strengths you already draw on and what may be ready to shift. The work develops collaboratively from there.
What clinical hypnotherapy is not
It is not mind control, sleep or something done to you. You do not have to perform, surrender your judgement or disclose anything you do not choose to share.
Northcote and Melbourne’s inner north
The practice is at 275 High Street, Northcote, welcoming people from Northcote, Thornbury, Preston, Fairfield, Fitzroy North, Brunswick East and nearby suburbs. Online appointments are also available.
What happens
Your first session.
We begin with conversation: what brings you, what you have noticed, what you have tried and what you would like to feel more free to do.
- You can ask questions before any hypnosis begins.
- Rachel explains what she is doing and works with your agreement.
- Relaxation may happen, but it is not required.
- There is time to reorient and talk before you leave.
Book when it feels right to begin.
You can book a full session in Northcote or online. If a conversation would help first, the free 20-minute appointment is a chance to meet Rachel and ask questions; it does not include hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy may be used alongside appropriate medical or mental-health care; it does not replace it. Outcomes vary, and this practice is not a crisis service.
