Hypnotherapy for Byron Bay and Bangalow
Byron has no shortage of people offering hypnosis. What’s harder to find is someone who works in a medical centre, has postgraduate neuroscience training, and will tell you plainly how many sessions you need. My Ballina clinic is about 30 minutes from Byron Bay and 25 from Bangalow. No crystals, no vibrations. Just a clear explanation of what your brain is doing and a way to change it.
Getting here
From Byron Bay: about 30 minutes down the motorway to the Ballina exit. Tamar Street is in the centre of Ballina with street parking.
From Bangalow, Newrybar or Federal: about 25 minutes to Ballina, or 30 minutes to Goonellabah Medical Centre on Mondays and Saturday mornings.
From Suffolk Park, Ocean Shores or Brunswick Heads: add ten minutes, or do it online. Half my clients do.

How I work
I’m a clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with postgraduate neuroscience training at UNE, and I’ve worked alongside GPs at Goonellabah Medical Centre since 2010. No crystals, no vibrations. Your brain predicts what’s about to happen based on old information, and when the prediction is faulty you get anxiety, cravings, a phobia or a mood that won’t lift. I find the faulty prediction and update it.
A good part of each session is a conversation, with you fully awake, working out how your brain does the problem. The hypnosis comes at the end, once we both know what needs to change. Most issues take 2 to 4 sessions. Smoking and vaping is usually 1 to 4, and phobias are often 1 to 3.
I’m the person to see if you’ve been to counselling and you’re still feeling the same way. Counselling can help you understand a problem and cope with it better. I’m trying to make it stop.
Why people drive from Byron to see me
Usually because they’ve already tried the other things. They’ve done the breathwork and the retreat and the talking, and the anxiety or the drinking or the thing with food is still there. I’m not against any of that. It’s just that I work on the specific prediction your brain is making, and when that changes the response stops firing. It’s quicker, and it holds.
I also see a lot of hospitality and creative people from Byron for performance nerves, confidence and getting off the vapes.
You don’t need to know what’s causing it. That’s my job. You just need to book the chat.
