FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hypnotherapy Really Work?
Yes. Clinical Hypnotherapy is widely used to help people overcome challenges such as anxiety, stress, trauma, PTSD, smoking, addiction, confidence issues, public speaking anxiety and unwanted habits.
Many clients come to us after trying other approaches without achieving lasting results. By working with both the conscious and subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can help create meaningful behavioural and emotional change that is often difficult to achieve through willpower alone.
Can Anyone Be Hypnotised?
Most people can be hypnotised provided they are willing to participate and able to follow simple instructions.
Hypnosis is not something that is done to you. It is a natural state of focused attention that requires cooperation and participation.
Certain medications, substances and medical conditions may affect the process. If you are under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, your therapist may postpone or refuse the session.
Do I Lose Control During Hypnosis?
No.
One of the biggest misconceptions about hypnosis comes from stage hypnosis shows.
Clinical Hypnotherapy is very different.
Throughout the entire process you remain aware, conscious and in control. You cannot be made to do anything against your values, beliefs or wishes.
Most clients describe hypnosis as feeling deeply relaxed while remaining mentally aware.
What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?
Most people describe hypnosis as feeling calm, relaxed and focused.
It is similar to becoming absorbed in a good book, daydreaming, meditation or listening to music.
Many clients are surprised by how natural it feels.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients require between 4 and 6 sessions depending on their goals and the complexity of the issue.
Some people notice significant improvements after their first session, while others benefit from a more structured program.
Every treatment plan is personalised to suit the individual.
Can Hypnotherapy Be A One-Session Fix?
While some clients report significant improvements after their first session, lasting change is often a process rather than a single event.
Many of the challenges people seek help for—such as anxiety, trauma, smoking, vaping, addiction, confidence issues and long-standing habits—have usually developed over many years. For this reason, most clients achieve the best results through a structured program that allows positive changes to build and strengthen over time.
Our goal is not simply to create short-term improvement, but to help clients develop lasting change by addressing both the presenting issue and the underlying factors that may be contributing to it.
Many clients notice meaningful shifts after their first session, with further improvements continuing throughout the course of their personalised program.
Is Online Hypnotherapy Effective?
Absolutely.
Most of our sessions are conducted securely online Australia-wide.
Many clients actually prefer online sessions because they can participate from the comfort and privacy of their own home.
Online Hypnotherapy has proven highly effective for anxiety, trauma, PTSD, confidence, smoking cessation, addiction recovery, stress management and personal development.
Do You Offer In-Person Sessions?
Yes.
In-person appointments are available at our private clinic in Ashgrove, Brisbane.
Clients can choose the option that best suits their preferences, schedule and location.
What Is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
It is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help people process traumatic memories, distressing experiences and emotional triggers.
EMDR is commonly used to support people experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, phobias, performance anxiety and other emotional challenges.
Can EMDR Help Trauma And PTSD?
Yes.
EMDR is one of the most recognised and researched approaches for trauma and PTSD treatment.
It helps reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories so they no longer have the same impact on daily life.
Many clients report feeling calmer, more resilient and less emotionally triggered following treatment.
Why Does Get Right Therapy Combine Hypnotherapy, EMDR And Coaching?
Many people already know what they need to do.
The challenge is making those changes stick.
Traditional coaching can provide awareness, strategies and accountability.
Clinical Hypnotherapy helps reinforce new behaviours and beliefs at a subconscious level.
EMDR helps reduce the emotional impact of past experiences that may be affecting current performance, wellbeing and decision-making.
By combining these approaches, we help clients create deeper, more meaningful and longer-lasting change than any one approach alone.
Do I Receive A Recording Of My Session?
For many hypnotherapy-based sessions, clients receive a personalised recording to support and reinforce the work completed during their appointment.
These recordings are designed to help strengthen positive changes between sessions and allow clients to continue benefiting from the process in the comfort of their own home.
Many clients choose to listen to their recordings regularly, particularly before sleep, as a way of reinforcing new habits, beliefs and behaviours.
The recordings often become a valuable long-term resource that clients can revisit whenever they feel they need additional support or reinforcement.
Please note that not all sessions or therapeutic approaches are suitable for recording. Your therapist will advise whether a recording is appropriate as part of your treatment plan.
Are Sessions Confidential?
Yes.
Your privacy and confidentiality are protected at all times.
Everything discussed during your sessions remains confidential except where required by law or where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others.
Can You Help With Anxiety, Stress And Overthinking?
Yes.
Anxiety, stress and overthinking are among the most common reasons people seek support.
Our therapists help clients develop greater emotional control, reduce mental overwhelm, improve confidence and create healthier responses to stress.
Can You Help With Trauma, PTSD And Childhood Trauma?
Yes.
We regularly work with clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), childhood trauma, emotional abuse, grief and significant life events.
Using a combination of EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapy and coaching, we help clients process unresolved experiences and move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.
Can Hypnotherapy Help With Smoking, Vaping And Addiction?
Yes.
Many clients seek support for smoking cessation, vaping, alcohol use and other unwanted habits.
Rather than focusing solely on the behaviour itself, we also explore the emotional triggers, beliefs and patterns that may be driving it.
This helps create more sustainable long-term change.
Can You Help With Confidence And Self-Esteem?
Absolutely.
Low confidence and self-esteem can affect relationships, careers, public speaking, performance and overall wellbeing.
We help clients build confidence, challenge limiting beliefs and develop a stronger sense of self-worth.
Can You Help With Public Speaking Anxiety?
Yes.
Public speaking anxiety is extremely common, even among highly successful professionals.
We help clients reduce performance anxiety, build confidence and communicate more effectively in presentations, meetings and professional environments.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) combines principles of Clinical Hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, neuroscience and neuroplasticity.
