Have you ever had a reaction that felt bigger than the situation? Your heart races, your hands tighten, and your body tells you “get away” - even though your mind knows you’re safe. Maybe it happens when you fly, drive, speak in public, see a spider, or stand near the edge of something high.

Nope, not a weakness - just an automatic response

These responses aren’t weakness — they’re simply old protective programs stored in your subconscious mind. At CE-Hypnosis, I help people all over Australia re-train that inner response - transforming fear into calm respect, and panic into balance and control. The goal isn’t to erase fear, but to transform it into respect —a healthy awareness that keeps you safe without limiting your freedom.

We often think of therapy in terms of talking, reflection, cognitive strategies, or medications. But hypnosis - or hypnotherapy when used therapeutically - offers a different pathway: it’s a guided way of accessing deeper levels of awareness, where beliefs, patterns, and physiological responses often “live beneath the surface.”

Have you ever noticed how certain things trigger a reaction that feels much stronger than it “should”?

Maybe it’s an animal, foods or certain situations - or perhaps it’s social situations, open spaces, or being confined. Whatever it is - it limits your life! That’s what many people call a phobia or fears.

At CE-Hypnosis, I help you transform that automatic fear into calm respect - a natural, balanced response that keeps you safe without limiting your life. Because, let´s be real, especially in Australia, you shouldn´t go and hug a brown snake or pet a redback spider. But having a fear and a phobia limits your option to handle the situation. And in worse scenario you panic and the situation gets worse.

You know it’s not truly dangerous, yet your body reacts instantly - as if it is.

My personal connection to Australia

During my years living in Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia, I noticed something powerful: Australians are open-minded and curious about natural, science-based approaches that actually work.

Many people are tired of being told to “just relax” or “face your fear.” They want tools that help the body and mind align - and that’s exactly what hypnotherapy does.

Hypnosis isn’t about losing control; it’s about regaining it at a subconscious level and that means changing your responsibilities and actions to something more suitable for the situation. Modern research in psychophysiology and neuroplasticity shows that the brain can rewire old emotional patterns when it enters a deeply focused, relaxed state — the same state used in hypnotherapy.

So rather than fighting fear, we teach your nervous system to respond differently.

I work with clients across Australia, Europe, and beyond, through online hypnotherapy in the comfort of peoples homes, helping people rediscover calm and confidence, no matter where they live.

Distance doesn’t matter when change happens inside you.

Common fears Australians work on through Hypnotherapy

Here are some of the most common areas I help clients with — both in-person and online hypnotherapy across Australia:

Fear or Sensitivity	Typical Reaction	What We Rewire It Into
Fear of flying	Tension, nausea, racing thoughts	Calm confidence, enjoy
Spiders or insects	Panic, avoidance, freeze reaction	Respectful calmness, distance, awareness
Public speaking	Blank mind, shaking, dread, stomach ache, IBS	Self-assurance, clarity, grounded focus
Driving or bridges	Tight chest, anxiety, panic	Controlled confidence, trust in your abilities
Heights or confined spaces	Dizziness, panic	Steady breathing, balance, calm presence
Social anxiety or judgement	Overthinking, worry, avoidant due to fear	Relaxed connection and authenticity
Trauma-related reactions	Triggers, flashbacks	Emotional release, safety, and peace

What a Hypnotherapy session looks Like

Working together at CE-Hypnosis is gentle, professional, and personal. You remain in control at all times — aware, and safe. The best part is, the time difference makes it perfect - you will be able to have the sessions in your evening! Instead of taking time off work.

Here’s how it typically unfolds:

Understanding your pattern We explore how your emotional response developed and what you want instead.
Relaxation induction You’re guided into a calm, focused state — similar to deep meditation — where your mind becomes open to change.
Subconscious re-training Using the CE-Method, we help your mind change fear from old memories and install new calm responses.
Emotional balancing Gentle energy work, tapping, or breath focus may be used to stabilise the nervous system.
Re-wiring responses - they way you want it! Still in relaxed comfort, we go through how you want to respond instead...

Unlike traditional talk therapy, you don’t need to re-live painful memories and dwell on them. Instead, we help your system release the emotional charge safely and naturally — allowing the brain to create new, calmer pathways.

Online Hypnotherapy across Australia

Whether you’re in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, or regional Australia, you can access CE-Hypnosis sessions online. Hypnosis works beautifully over video — because change happens in your mind, not in a physical room.

All you need is a quiet space, a headset, and an open mind. From the comfort of your own home, you can relax, focus, and let the subconscious work begin. It’s a modern, convenient, and highly effective way to experience professional hypnotherapy.

The Science behind calm

Hypnosis has been shown in multiple studies (including those from Monash University and the APA) to reduce activity in the brain’s amygdala, the centre responsible for fear responses.It also increases theta-wave activity, allowing emotional memories to be rewritten more easily.

That’s why so many Australians who once avoided certain situations now describe feeling neutral, curious, or even peaceful instead.

Your subconscious doesn’t need to be convinced - it needs to be guided.
