Before seeing Shirleen, I struggled with overwhelming anxiety over daily trivialities, feeling therapy wouldn't help. Shirleen's gentle approach taught me strategies to manage anxiety before it spiraled. I've discovered my triggers and solutions, adopting a solution-focused mindset that's transformed how I approach challenges in all aspects of life.

I struggled with insomnia, lying awake overthinking my life despite trying various non-prescription remedies like melatonin and essential oils. Unsure about hypnosis, I hesitated. Shirleen helped me uncover the roots of my insomnia and guided me to regain control over my thoughts. Her compassionate approach made me feel safe and supported during our sessions. Thanks to her, I established a sound sleep pattern and learned to manage setbacks. I highly recommend Shirleen.

Shirleen's warmth and friendliness put me at ease quickly. With genuine care, she gently challenged beliefs that were contributing to my anxiety. Over a few sessions, her wealth of knowledge helped shift my thinking, significantly relieving my anxiety. I highly recommend Shirleen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Strategic Hypnotherapy is the most advanced form of Clinical Hypnosis available and combines cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with hypnosis, accessing the subconscious mind while reshaping thought patterns and behaviours. During sessions, clients enter a relaxed, focused state where they become more receptive to positive suggestions and cognitive changes. This approach allows for the identification and modification of deep-seated beliefs contributing to issues like anxiety or depression. By addressing both conscious thinking (through an array of advanced techniques) and unconscious processes (via hypnosis), Strategic Hypnotherapy often achieves faster and more lasting results than traditional therapy or hypnosis alone. It’s a powerful tool for creating positive change at the conscious and subconscious levels of the mind.
Strategic Psychotherapy is a unique therapeutic approach that empowers individuals to transform their lives by altering their perception of the world. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, this method focuses on identifying and modifying the mental filters through which clients interpret their experiences. These filters, developed over a lifetime, often shape our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours in ways we may not realise.
In one-on-one sessions, a skilled strategic psychotherapist guides clients to recognise these perceptual patterns and learn how to adjust them. By changing these fundamental filters, clients can unlock new possibilities for managing their concerns, gaining fresh insights, and developing more effective coping strategies. This approach doesn’t just address symptoms; it aims to create profound and lasting change by reshaping how clients perceive and interact with their world, making positive transformation not just possible, but achievable.
Strategic hypnotherapy offers a powerful approach to conquering anxiety and stress. By tapping into the subconscious mind, this technique gets to the heart of what’s causing these issues. It doesn’t just mask symptoms – it helps rewire your brain’s responses. Through hypnotherapy, you can uncover and change deep-seated thought patterns and reactions that fuel your anxiety. This process allows you to build new, healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges. Many clients report feeling a profound shift, experiencing a newfound sense of peace and ability to handle stress. By addressing both conscious and unconscious factors, strategic hypnotherapy can lead to lasting relief, helping you regain control and find genuine tranquillity in your daily life.

Clinical Strategic Hypnosis is a far cry from the dramatic portrayals you might see in entertainment media. In reality, it’s a collaborative and empowering process where you remain in full control throughout. During a session, you won’t be made to do anything against your will or lose awareness of your surroundings. Instead, the true strength of clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy lies in your active participation.
Your therapist acts as a guide, offering suggestions and new perspectives, but the power to accept or reject these ideas rests entirely with you. This approach taps into your innate ability to make positive changes in your life. By entering a state of focused relaxation, you become more receptive to beneficial suggestions that align with your goals. Ultimately, the transformative potential of this therapy comes from your own choices and your mind’s capacity for change. It’s a respectful, client-centred approach that enhances your natural abilities rather than overriding your will.
Strategic Clinical Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic approach that guides you into a state of deep relaxation and focused awareness. In this calm state, your busy, analytical conscious mind takes a back seat, allowing easier access to your subconscious. This is where lasting change can occur.
During hypnosis, you’re able to tap into the wealth of information stored in your subconscious mind. This access provides a unique opportunity to make positive changes to thought patterns, habits, or behaviours that may be negatively impacting your mental or physical well-being.
Everyone experiences hypnosis differently. You might feel a heightened sense of awareness or sink into profound relaxation. Some clients hear every word the hypnotherapist says, while others may find the voice fades in and out. Regardless of your individual experience, you remain in control throughout the session. In strategic hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis, you’re always free to adjust your experience or end the session at will.
The beauty of this approach lies in its respect for your autonomy and its ability to harness your mind’s natural capacity for change. By creating a bridge between your conscious and subconscious mind, Clinical Hypnotherapy offers a path to transformative self-discovery and positive change.
At the Brisbane Strategic Hypnotherapy Clinic, Hypnosis is conducted by a trained and certified professional. This form of hypnosis is not only safe, but it is also a non-invasive, evidence-based therapeutic technique. It’s a natural state of focused attention that we all experience in daily life, similar to being absorbed in a good book or lost in thought. During a hypnotherapy session, you remain aware and in control, able to accept or reject suggestions as you see fit. The process doesn’t involve any form of mind control or forced compliance. In fact, ethical hypnotherapists work within your comfort zone and respect your boundaries at all times. Hypnosis can’t make you do anything against your will or moral code. It’s important to note that while hypnosis is generally safe for most people, individuals with certain mental health conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing hypnotherapy. Overall, when practised by a qualified professional, hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and potentially beneficial experience for many individuals seeking positive change in their lives.
Hypnosis is a deeply personal experience that varies from individual to individual, but it’s often described as a state of profound relaxation for both body and mind. Imagine the peaceful feeling of being lost in a daydream or that tranquil moment just before you drift off to sleep – hypnosis often feels similar to these natural states of consciousness.
In this serene state, the constant chatter of your everyday thoughts begins to quiet down. This mental calm creates a unique opportunity for your mind to tap into its hidden resources. Your unconscious mind, a vast storehouse of memories, emotions, and potential, becomes more accessible. This access allows for the creation of new mental pathways and perspectives, opening doors to positive change.
While in hypnosis, you might feel heavy and relaxed, or perhaps light and floating. Some people experience a heightened awareness of their surroundings, while others feel pleasantly detached. Regardless of the specific sensations, most people find hypnosis to be a comfortable, refreshing experience that leaves them feeling rejuvenated and empowered.
The experience of hypnosis will be different for each client. For some, it is a heightened awareness; for others, a profound relaxation. Sometimes the client hears every word the hypnotist says, and other times the voice fades in and out or becomes completely inaudible. In strategic hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis the client is always free to alter the hypnotic experience or awaken at will.
