Strategic Hypnotherapy for Dependencies in Blue Mountains
Are you tired of living in chains of dependencies? Are you frustrated at yourself for not being in control of your behaviour, falling for triggers and cravings? Perhaps it’s estranged family relationships, your job being at risk, your health condition, or your appearance (hello weight gain and puffy face) that brought you here, but I am glad you are here and ready to invest in your freedom.
Regaining control over any challenging habit, whether it involves drinking, smoking, vaping, chocolate, shopping, or other behaviours that are not good for you, can feel overwhelming. You may have tried various methods to overcome these dependencies only to fall back into the same patterns of behaviour time and time again with disappointment and frustration. Why do rehabs and most other known methods have poor or no lasting results? Because they focus on the substance or behaviour itself. So does hypnosis if performed by a poorly trained practitioner or just a script reader and not a qualified therapist.
Whether you want to reduce the intake or stop completely, you need not seek any further – you have just discovered one of the most effective and fast-acting solutions available. My unique combination of Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy will uncover the underlying causes of your habit. Then, I will help you change those subconscious patterns so you can stop the battle between cravings and guilt and regain your freedom for good.

Hi I'm Aneta
Clinical Hypnotherapist in Faulconbridge in the Heart of the Blue Mountains

My approach transcends traditional addiction therapy, offering innovative, solution-focused sessions that equip you with practical skills for lasting recovery. As a certified practitioner in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy, I use cutting-edge techniques to address the root causes of dependency and empower you to make lasting changes.
I offer both in-person sessions in the tranquil Blue Mountains and online sessions, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for your journey. We’ll focus on your current experiences, bridging the gap between your present struggles and the empowered version of yourself you aspire to be. Together, we’ll address triggers, develop coping strategies, and build resilience for long-term recovery.With my guidance and your commitment, we can reframe addictive patterns and nurture the strength you need for a fulfilling, dependency-free life.
Are you ready to embrace real change? Let’s begin this transformative journey towards freedom and unlock your potential for a healthier future.
Why Strategic Hypnotherapy is More Powerful for Treating Dependencies
You may have tried a few different methods by now, yet you continue to relapse. Perhaps your family history also makes you wonder if that’s just who you are, that maybe you have some sort of an addictive personality. Let me state it now – you don’t and I can help you.
Unlike traditional interventions that merely scratch the surface of your struggles, my highly successful holistic approach works with your subconscious mind, where the seeds of your dependency reside and fuel your habit. Additionally, our sessions are tailored specifically to your unique experience with dependencies.
I use a highly effective blend of Strategic Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Multichannel Eye Movement Integration to remove the causes of your dependencies for long-lasting effects.
Strategic Psychotherapy is a brief, solution-focused therapy that zeroes in on how you do dependencies, not why. I won’t be digging into your past or searching for reasons like a difficult childhood. Instead, we’ll focus on uncovering and dismantling the unconscious patterns you’ve developed that allow for those unhealthy habits to enter and stay in your life.
By integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy, we can fast-track the process. Hypnotherapy enables you to rewire your neural pathways and reframe these thought patterns that are no longer serving you. It equips you with the tools you need to navigate cravings, triggers, and stressors with confidence and resilience.
Where useful, I may also use Multichannel Eye Movement Integration to desensitise any past experiences that fuel your dependencies today (like trauma & stressful events). All, to enable you to experience a long-lasting change.
Don’t spend another day wondering what your life could be like without dependencies. Let me help you experience it for yourself now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure yet? Here are the answers to some common questions
Strategic psychotherapy offers a concise, solution-oriented approach to mental health treatment. Rather than dwelling on past experiences or searching for underlying causes, this method focuses on identifying and modifying the unconscious patterns that perpetuate current issues. By emphasizing the “how” rather than the “why,” strategic psychotherapy aims to provide efficient and effective relief from psychological distress.
The incorporation of hypnotherapy into this approach further enhances its efficacy. By inducing a hypnotic state, therapists can more readily access and restructure problematic thought patterns and behaviors. This combination accelerates the therapeutic process, allowing clients to experience relief more quickly than with traditional methods. Such an approach is particularly valuable for individuals seeking rapid progress or those who have found conventional therapy unsatisfactory.
Strategic Hypnotherapy distinguishes itself from traditional hypnosis by directly addressing the core pillars of your specific issues, rather than relying on generic guided visualizations or script reading. This targeted approach focuses on resolving underlying causes instead of providing temporary relief through pleasant imagery.
Unlike one-size-fits-all hypnosis methods, Strategic Hypnotherapy tailors each session to your individual needs and circumstances. This personalized approach ensures a more effective and relevant experience, taking into account your unique factors and challenges.
Moreover, Strategic Hypnotherapy goes beyond simple relaxation techniques by teaching you new skills to manage and overcome your challenges. By targeting the fundamental structures that create and maintain your issues, it aims for comprehensive, sustainable change. This approach often leads to more rapid and profound results, empowering you with long-lasting tools for personal growth and problem-solving.
I practice a modern, neo-Ericksonian form of hypnosis that differs from traditional authoritarian methods. Instead of using scripts or direct commands, I offer possibilities for you to explore, respecting your autonomy and eliminating the need to resist suggestions.
This approach makes hypnosis accessible to virtually everyone. While the depth of the hypnotic state may vary between individuals, therapeutic results aren’t dependent on achieving a deep trance. My method is designed to be comfortable and natural, removing common barriers to hypnosis.
To ensure safety and effectiveness, I don’t conduct sessions if a client is under the influence of perception-altering substances. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can comfortably explore positive changes at your own pace, making hypnotherapy a viable option for most people seeking personal growth or behavioral change.
Hypnosis resembles guided meditation but goes beyond mere relaxation and inner peace. It creates a unique brainwave pattern distinct from normal waking, sleeping, or meditative states. Instead, it aligns with the alpha state, which combines physical and mental relaxation with enhanced clarity and awareness of your surroundings.
Clinical hypnotherapy is a scientifically validated process that effectively addresses a variety of mental and emotional challenges. It reprograms your cognitive patterns, empowering you to regain control over your mental and emotional well-being.
Hypnosis is a completely safe and natural state of mind that many people experience regularly, whether it’s during a drive when you momentarily zone out, while watching an engaging film, or just before you drift off to sleep.
Unfortunately, there are many myths surrounding hypnosis, including the idea that it’s a form of mind control or that you need to enter a deep trance from which you can’t return. This couldn’t be further from the truth. You will remain fully aware of everything I say throughout the session. I cannot plant thoughts in your mind, and you won’t be asleep, so there’s no concern about waking up. If you find yourself starting to doze off while relaxing, I’ll gently bring you back to full awareness, ensuring you can still hear my voice. 😊
No, this isn’t the case in a therapy setting. There’s a common misconception that the hypnotist has control over a client’s thoughts and actions, largely fueled by portrayals in TV shows and entertainment. In those scenarios, participants are typically chosen for their willingness and confidence to engage, often in a humorous context.
In a therapeutic environment, hypnosis serves as a guided relaxation technique that promotes a soothing and supportive atmosphere, enhancing the effectiveness of therapy. You can rest assured that you remain in control throughout the process. In fact, you can disregard any suggestions from the hypnotherapist or even choose to leave the room if you wish.
The goal of clinical hypnotherapy is to empower clients, not to exert control over them. You can feel confident knowing that you are in safe and skilled hands when you choose to work with me.
Hypnosis is a unique experience for everyone, and there’s no right or wrong way to engage with it. Often referred to as a trance-like state, hypnosis provides profound mental, physical, and emotional relaxation—a deeply restorative experience. Dr. Milton Erickson, a pioneer in the field of hypnotherapy, described clinical hypnosis as “a free period in which individuality can flourish.”
During a hypnosis session, you might find yourself in a state of heightened awareness paired with deep relaxation. You may feel dreamy or heavy, fully aware of my voice, or your mind may drift elsewhere—both responses are perfectly normal signs of being in a trance.
In this state, your conscious mind—often busy and critical—takes a back seat, allowing you to access your inner wisdom and subconscious resources.
Hypnotherapy employs tailored suggestions and metaphors; I present you with possibilities, and you shape them into what resonates with you. I can’t impose thoughts on you; think of me as your guide on this journey.
The goal of our session is to identify the core issue. For example, if you seek help for excessive alcohol consumption, we may discover during our initial conversation that it serves as a coping mechanism for anxiety. In that case, we will prioritize addressing the anxiety, which often alleviates the alcohol-related concerns as well.
During our time together, I will review your intake form, medical history, and lifestyle. I’ll ask questions to uncover what’s lacking between your current situation and your desired outcome. Based on this discussion, I will propose a treatment plan that bridges that gap. My approach is designed not just to provide temporary relief, but to help you build a lasting foundation for managing challenges after our sessions conclude.
From the very first session, I will integrate psychotherapy with hypnosis, enabling you to start making positive changes right away. Additionally, your hypnosis session will be recorded so you can listen to it between sessions for continued support.
Preparing for your session is quite simple. It’s advisable to avoid coffee or energy drinks for a few hours beforehand, as well as any substances that might interfere with your ability to relax.
Please ensure you arrive sober and free from any cognitive-altering substances.
If we’re having an online session, it’s important to minimize disturbances from family members or pets. While complete silence isn’t necessary, you should be in a space where you won’t be interrupted, such as by someone entering the room or calling out to you.
The flexibility of Strategic Psychotherapy combined with Clinical Hypnotherapy makes it effective for a wide range of psychological challenges.
Growing research indicates that incorporating hypnosis enhances therapeutic outcomes, breaking through conventional diagnostic limits and providing a holistic approach to various conditions.
This powerful combination can lead to positive and lasting results in areas such as: addictions, alcoholism, anger management, anxiety, burnout, self-confidence, depression, exam nerves and performance, gambling issues, grief, guilt, habit control, IBS, letting go, nail biting, obsessive-compulsive behaviors (OCD), panic attacks, personal growth, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), procrastination, public speaking, relationship issues, relaxation, releasing past traumas, smoking cessation, reducing vaping, stress relief, and more.
While traditional talk therapies have their merits, many people crave immediate change. You don’t want to spend months dissecting unchangeable past events or current issues.
With Strategic Psychotherapy, I won’t focus on your history to find reasons for your behaviors. Instead, I’ll examine the unique worldview you’ve developed over time—specifically, the thought patterns that perpetuate your challenges.
You might recognize that habits like excessive drinking, smoking, or anxiety aren’t helping, yet breaking free seems elusive.
Together, we’ll identify and target the core issues that underlie these behaviors. Our sessions are designed to be solution-oriented, equipping you with new skills and mindsets for sustainable change. By incorporating hypnosis, we can tap into your unconscious mind, facilitating quicker and more profound therapeutic results.
In Australia, hypnotherapy is a self-regulated field, meaning there are currently no legal requirements for hypnotherapists to meet specific training standards. As a result, many unqualified practitioners may offer services after completing just a short three-day course.
This lack of regulation can make it challenging for individuals to choose the right hypnotherapist from the multitude of advertisements available. It’s essential to select a therapist who is qualified to address your mental health concerns without hypnosis, such as a psychotherapist or psychologist. Otherwise, a hypnosis session may provide only temporary relief without equipping you with lasting skills for change.
Keep in mind that hypnosis is merely a tool; the effectiveness lies in how it’s utilized.
Professional organizations like the Hypnotherapy Council of Australia are responsible for establishing industry standards, including minimum training requirements, a code of ethics, professional supervision, and ongoing professional development.
Hypnotherapists not affiliated with professional associations may lack sufficient and recognized training. For a qualified hypnotherapist, visit Hypnotherapy Council of Australia to find accredited practitioners.
The number of sessions you may need depends on your unique circumstances, but typically, a total of 4 to 6 sessions is recommended. Your personalized treatment plan will be established during the initial session and reviewed at each follow-up.
The goal is to help you TAKE action in your life, not just to provide temporary relief. You’ll start to notice positive changes after the very first session, and if you adhere to my guidance in between sessions, you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish in a relatively short time.
Currently, clinical hypnotherapy is not covered by Medicare. However, some private health insurance plans may offer partial refunds for your sessions, depending on your level of coverage. It’s advisable to check with your health insurance provider to see if you’re eligible for any benefits.

If you are still on the fence, factor in how the cost of therapy outweighs the cost of maintaining the problem. How much do opportunities missed due to anxiety cost, how much do you pay for cigarettes, alcohol, retail “therapy” or other costly compensatory behaviours… not to mention mental health cost, relationship costs etc… Then the value of effective therapy becomes evident.
