INNERSTAR HYPNOTHERAPY
Supporting others through change and personal growth has been at the heart of my work for over 20 years. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Counsellor, I have worked in private practice since 2020, offering gentle, personalised hypnotherapy sessions for adults and teens on the Gold Coast and online Australia-wide.
With a deep affinity for nature and wellbeing, I have been drawn to supporting others for as long as I can remember. My journey into counselling and community-based roles has allowed me to work alongside people of all ages and backgrounds through times of change, challenge and uncertainty.
My own lived experience — what many call the school of hard knocks — has shaped the way I work. It has given me a grounded understanding of resilience, self-belief and the practical steps people need to move forward. I bring compassion, understanding and a non-judgemental approach to every session.
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I work gently yet powerfully with the subconscious mind, supporting clients to explore unhelpful patterns, beliefs and behaviours and create meaningful change. Many people come to hypnotherapy after feeling stuck or after other approaches have not provided the support they were hoping for.
I take a whole-person approach, tailoring sessions to each individual and considering physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. I support clients with concerns including anxiety, stress, overthinking, trauma and PTSD, confidence, habits and addictions, relationship challenges and life transitions.
Clients commonly seek support to feel calmer, improve emotional wellbeing, build confidence, reduce overwhelm and reconnect with a greater sense of balance and control.
Outside of my practice, I live on the beautiful Gold Coast, Queensland. I recharge by spending time in the Hinterland and creating alchemy-style artwork using natural and recycled materials — a reflection of my love for creativity, nature and transformation.
People often describe me as calming, grounded and easy to talk to. If you’re seeking support or feeling ready for change, I’d love to connect and walk alongside you as you rediscover your Innerstar.
