Perhaps Rethink Anxiety, Stress, Sleep, Pain and Performance Challenges...
Through Strategic Psychotherapy
supported by Modern Clinical Hypnosis
If life feels like a struggle, you’re not alone. This modern support offers an effective space for you to reconnect with your strengths, rethink what may be possible and change the way you manage what’s happening.
You don’t need to have all the answers before asking for support. Your support begins with a conversation that helps bring clarity to what you’re experiencing today by understanding how it’s affecting your life, rather than exploring the past to understand why it began.
Your hypnotherapy is then shaped around you, making the support personalised, relevant and focused on what you would like to be different.
Consultations are available Australia-wide via secure video Telehealth
In-person consultations are available by appointment at private practice locations across Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs.
Rethink How Hypnotherapy Can Support You
Many people explore different forms of support when anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, pain and discomfort, or other challenges begin affecting everyday life. Counselling, psychology, hypnosis and other approaches each offer different ways of helping people understand and respond to what they are experiencing.
Hypnosis can provide another form of focused support, but it is not practised as one single method. At Rethink Clinical Hypnotherapy, modern clinical hypnosis is supported by strategic psychotherapy, allowing the therapist and person to first explore how the issue is being experienced and what may be keeping it going today.
This understanding helps shape the support around the individual rather than beginning with a predetermined response. You can learn more about the Rethink Clinical Hypnotherapy method and what the experience may involve on our About Us page.
How Strategic Psychotherapy Combined With Modern
Clinical Hypnosis May Support Change in Fewer Sessions
Research has suggested that hypnosis may support change in fewer sessions than some commonly used talk-based therapies, such as counselling, particularly when it forms part of a structured support process. Strategic hypnotherapy combines strategic psychotherapy with modern clinical hypnosis to explore how an issue is being experienced, how the person has been trying to manage it and what may be keeping it going today.
Many people describe feeling clearer, more focused and more emotionally settled after just a few sessions.
Research Comparing Hypnosis Support and Therapy Outcomes
A frequently cited review by Alfred Barrios compared outcomes reported across hypnotherapy, behavioural therapy and psychoanalysis. The review reported hypnotherapy achieving a 93% effectiveness rate after an average of 6 sessions, behavioural therapy achieving 72% after an average of 22 sessions, and psychoanalysis achieving 38% after an average of 600 sessions.
Counselling and professional psychological support can often draw from behavioural, psychoanalytic or both approaches, depending on the individual therapist and the type of support being provided. Strategic hypnotherapy represents another structured support option that may use hypnosis as part of the change process.
These figures come from research which should be interpreted within the context and limitations of the period in which the studies were conducted. However, the review remains frequently referenced in discussions of hypnosis research because it highlights the potential value of hypnotherapy as part of a structured support process.
Pattern-based Support When Understanding Alone Has Not Created Change
Modern strategic hypnotherapy works with learned ways of responding that may continue automatically, even when the person already understands what they would prefer to do differently. By engaging subconscious learning processes rather than relying on insight alone. This approach may be considered for pattern-based concerns also discussed with General Practitioners (GPs) and health care professionals, including general anxiety in everyday situations, stress, insomnia, pain-related discomfort, social anxiety and professional or workplace anxiety.
In other situations, support may focus on performance-based patterns, such as a dip in sporting form, pressure during competition, difficulty staying composed, study motivation or exam pressure on the day. These situations often involve learned responses around focus, confidence and emotional control, where the person may understand what they want to do but still find the response difficult to change in the moment.
You can learn more about how strategic hypnotherapy supports these patterns on the linked My Support Hub pages.

Ready To Change Your Mindset And Reclaim Your Life?
One of the most valuable discoveries people make during a session with Rethink Clinical Hypnotherapy is that lasting change often begins when the pattern behind the issue becomes clearer, rather than simply trying harder to overcome it.
For example, two people can experience the same situation yet respond very differently because they have learned to react to it in different ways. When it becomes clearer how the issue is being maintained, new possibilities for change often begin to emerge.
