Addiction Therapy & Hypnotherapy Brisbane

Break Free from Alcohol, Smoking, Vaping, Gambling, Food & Other Unwanted Habits

At Get Right Therapy, we understand that addiction is rarely about a lack of willpower.

Most addictive behaviours develop as a way of coping with stress, anxiety, emotional pain, trauma, loneliness, overwhelm, boredom or difficult life experiences.

While the habit may provide temporary relief, over time it can begin to take control of your health, relationships, finances, confidence and overall quality of life.

Whether you're struggling with alcohol, smoking, vaping, gambling, emotional eating or other unwanted habits, our goal is to help you understand the underlying drivers of the behaviour and develop healthier ways to meet those emotional needs.

We provide confidential online hypnotherapy sessions Australia-wide as well as in-person appointments in Ashgrove, Brisbane.

Why Is It So Hard To Stop?

Many people blame themselves when they can't stop an unwanted behaviour.

They tell themselves:

"I should be stronger."

"I should have more willpower."

"Why can't I just stop?"

The reality is that addictive behaviours often become deeply connected to the subconscious mind.

Over time, the brain learns that certain behaviours provide relief, comfort, escape, distraction or reward.

Examples include:

  • Drinking alcohol to relax

  • Smoking to manage stress

  • Vaping to reduce anxiety

  • Gambling for excitement or escape

  • Emotional eating for comfort

  • Excessive pornography use to avoid difficult emotions

The behaviour becomes automatic.

This is why simply relying on willpower often feels exhausting and ineffective.

How Can Hypnotherapy Help Addiction?

Clinical Hypnotherapy works by helping you identify and change the subconscious patterns driving unwanted behaviours.

Rather than focusing solely on the addiction itself, we explore:

  • Emotional triggers

  • Stress responses

  • Limiting beliefs

  • Past experiences

  • Habit loops

  • Self-sabotaging behaviours

  • Negative self-talk

By addressing these underlying drivers, many clients find that cravings reduce, self-control improves and healthier behaviours become easier to maintain.

Hypnotherapy can help you:

✔ Reduce cravings

✔ Improve emotional regulation

✔ Strengthen motivation

✔ Build healthier coping strategies

✔ Increase confidence and self-belief

✔ Reduce self-sabotage

✔ Improve stress management

✔ Create lasting behavioural change

Alcohol Reduction & Alcohol Addiction Support

Many people don't necessarily want to stop drinking forever.

They simply want to regain control.

You may find yourself:

  • Drinking more than intended

  • Using alcohol to cope with stress

  • Drinking to relax after work

  • Drinking to manage anxiety

  • Feeling guilty about your alcohol consumption

Our alcohol-focused hypnotherapy programs help clients understand the emotional drivers behind drinking while building healthier coping strategies and improving self-control.

Smoking & Vaping Hypnotherapy

Smoking and vaping often become deeply conditioned habits.

Many people automatically reach for a cigarette or vape when they experience:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Boredom

  • Social situations

  • Work pressure

  • Emotional discomfort

Hypnotherapy can help break these subconscious associations while strengthening your identity as a non-smoker or non-vaper.

Gambling Addiction Support

Gambling can quickly move from entertainment to something that creates significant financial, emotional and relationship stress.

Many people find themselves trapped in cycles of:

  • Chasing losses

  • Seeking excitement

  • Escaping difficult emotions

  • Feeling guilty afterwards

Hypnotherapy helps identify the emotional and psychological triggers driving gambling behaviours and supports healthier decision-making.

Emotional Eating & Food Addiction

Food is often used for far more than hunger.

Many people eat to cope with:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Loneliness

  • Boredom

  • Emotional overwhelm

By addressing the emotional drivers behind eating behaviours, hypnotherapy can help create a healthier relationship with food and improve self-awareness around cravings.

Trauma, Stress & Addiction

Many addictions are not simply habits.

They are attempts to manage emotional pain.

Past trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and low self-worth can all contribute to addictive behaviours.

This is why our approach often focuses on understanding and resolving the underlying emotional factors rather than simply suppressing the behaviour itself.

When the emotional need is addressed, the urge to rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms often begins to reduce naturally.

  • "Turning 65, I felt it was a now or never approach needed to come to terms with my 50-year drinking habit. Along with alcohol, my other issues were depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Working with Michael over 5 sessions, I was able to get the help needed to improve my lifestyle and be a happier person within. Michael's professional attitude and easy-going approach helped me realise the power I have within. I'm now over 3 weeks alcohol-free and my partner and family members have noticed the positive changes in me. For anyone trying to give up alcohol and heal within, I strongly recommend Michael from Get Right Therapy. I now have a new life."

His guidance allowed me to uncover, process and release emotional blocks that had weighed me down for years. I now feel more confident, grounded and free than I have in a long time. This work didn't just help me cope—it helped me heal"
