Central Coast Hypnosis
Clinical hypnotherapy can help by altering perceptions of past events (phobias, traumas), change behaviours (abuse of body, anger management, drinking or smoking), and help with self improvement (brain development, better habits of thinking, sports performance).
I have qualified under the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and am a supervisor in both the Australian Hypnotherapists' Association (AHA) and the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists (ASCH) which means I meet the highest standards of the industry. Furthermore my good intentions for people are reflected in the numerous positive positive outcomes I have achieved, some of which are mentioned below. I use hypnotherapy, strategic psychology, counselling, and coaching as required. My speciality is in working with anxiety and associated issues. Often those with anxiety will also have destructive habits (like drinking) to distract them from their partly subconscious issues, and when helping people with their anxiety I help simultaneously with the associated habits. Helping people with clinical hypnotherapy is my passion. Working since 2011 as a hypnotherapist on the Central Coast I know that clinical Hypnotherapy prioritising the client's needs is an amazing way to help people with all kinds of thinking and feeling issues. I had a career in software engineering and business before choosing this path, so I bring a varied background to better help you. I hope to be of service to you to bring about the best outcome for your particular issue. |

After all the counselling I've gone through in my life, somewhere between 8 to 10 counsellors, I've never had the same effect from anyone except you. I can feel a happiness. I feel great about myself for the first time ever. And I see the world in colours instead of black and white.

-Rob H.

-Neil H.
Hypnotherapy has helped me to see my life in a more positive way, it has given me a sense of empowerment and ability to overcome worry about what other people said or think about me. It has given me a more peaceful mind and helped me to think clearly. Amazing how it works without much effort from my side! I just needed to go into the sessions with my mind open and a true intention to be better in life for my own happiness. Thanks Alan as I always see your sincere intention to help me out.
-Jenny C.
Once upon a time I read a book and it said "If you have the courage to face your demons you will be free." After many years of moderately useful therapy I met Alan. I now know this to be true. Thank you Mr.
-Greg

-Brad S
I have suffered from anxiety all my life and recently after having my first child it reared its ugly head and turned into insomnia. I fought this for 6 weeks after [child's name] was born but eventually after not sleeping for so long I broke down. The anxiety was awful I was averaging 2-3 hours sleep a night. With no where to turn I went to the doctors and was put on antidepressants... The sad thing was I wasn't depressed. I stayed on them for 4 years and when I finally came off them I released I was much happier and should never have been on them in the first place. Even on them I still suffered anxiety when doing anything new or challenging ... a new job and raising [child] ... It was still there.
Years later I have just fallen pregnant again at 43 yeahhh, but sadly the anxiety has come back and I have been a mess. Sleeping again only a couple of hours a night I broke down and realised my only choice was to go on antidepressants. With pure luck I found Alan through a local naturopath and with only 2 sessions I am sleeping through the night. The change this has brought to my life is incredible. I now feel if the anxiety ever does come back I now have someone to turn to instead of drugs ... It's an amazing feeling. I can not say enough, about what Alan does, but it is a gift and I recommend to anyone that has suffered anxiety to try this before going down any other roads. Thanks again.
-Kim H
I came to see Alan about emotional eating. I was feeling anxious and would instantly go eat. After being hypnotised by Alan I felt great and the eating and anxiety had completely gone. I decided to continue to see Alan and work on some other areas of my life. Alan really got to the core of my issues. I worked on my public speaking with which in the end I gained much more confidence and my insecurities and anxiety was much easier to manage. I highly recommend Alan.
-Caroline
I had an appointment with u on Monday 14/8 regarding weight loss and sugar addiction.

Thx again.
-Kristie
I visited Alan at Central Coast Hypnosis because I was seeking for help for my alcohol and food addiction. A few sessions of hypnosis in combination with visits to psychologist gave me great results: I quit drinking completely (that what I wanted) and I started a healthy diet which I enjoy. As a result I feel great: lighter, energised with a clear mind, I look better and more confident.
Hypnosis is not a standard thing for your needs. Alan has an individual approach. He tries to get into the roots of your problem and create a program what is suitable just for you.
[Ed: long description of session details deleted]
Healthy suggestions were accepted by my mind, now I am free of alcohol, now I have time to develop interests which I was dreaming about for a long while but could not implement because my bad habits had a control over my life.
I would recommend Alan to other people. All the best to you
-L M
Visits to deal with anxiety and stress issues sees me much more relaxed; able to review my thoughts and have a better understanding of my triggers and myself. Definitely worthwhile.
-Suzanne
I came full of worry, anxiety and stress. I also came with a little bit of scepticism. I feel lighter right now and no longer a sceptic - worry replaced by hope. I now feel I can look forward to the things that made me feel sick in the past.
-Renee
Before I came to see Alan I wasn't able to sleep. I wasn't even able to lay down in the bed because of a feeling I was captured. This was due to being stuck in a car accident when young. It was getting worse and I was sleeping less than an hour. Since seeing Alan its been getting better each time. I am getting enough sleep now and am feeling much better.
-Allan.
I felt nervous about hypnotherapy as it has not worked for me in the past. However, this time has been different. It has helped me to focus and find what is important to me and allowed me to make choices in my best interests. I have lost weight and I'm feeling better but mostly I feel lighter and healthier. Thank you Alan for the kick start I needed.
-Julie
Although I know I was ready to tackle head on what had been overtaking my life and quality of relationships, I had no idea the results that would be achieved in such a short period of time. I am so grateful that I made the decision to do this. It has changed the way I see myself. It has and will change my life. Thank you.
-Rebecca
I had a bad habit of two to three glasses of wine each night for several years. Initially, I believe it was stress related from work pressure. Recently, I realised that stress no longer existed but the habit remained.
I enjoy a glass of wine and didn't particularly want to give it up completely but, I did want to stop drinking every night.
That's where Alan came into the picture. After explaining my predicament Alan with full confidence said he could fix that today. From that day on I haven't even felt like a drink during the week and can easily go without it on the weekend if I choose to. I was ready for the change and with Alan's help I believe I'm in control again.
Do yourself a favour, if you want to make significant lasting changes in your life get in touch with Alan. You won't regret it.
