Hypnotherapy for Evans Head and Woodburn
If you’re in Evans Head, Woodburn, Broadwater or Wardell, my Ballina clinic in Tamar Street is about 30 to 40 minutes up the Pacific Motorway. I’m there Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday afternoons. I’ve worked with over 2,000 clients on anxiety, smoking and vaping, alcohol, weight, phobias, confidence and stress. Most people need 2 to 4 sessions.

Getting here
From Evans Head: about 35 to 40 minutes. Head out through Woodburn and up the motorway to the Ballina exit. Tamar Street is in the middle of town, next door to Ballina Day Surgery, with street parking.
From Woodburn or Broadwater: about 30 minutes up the motorway. From Wardell: about 15.
Plenty of people from the Evans Head side pair a session with a shop in Ballina. If the drive doesn’t suit, we do it online. It works just as well.

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.
What people from Evans Head come for
From the coast south of Ballina I tend to see smoking and vaping, drinking, and anxiety that has quietly got worse since the floods and never really settled. I also see people who have retired to Evans Head and found that the stress didn’t retire with them. If you’ve been to counselling and you’re still feeling the same, that’s who I’m for.
You don’t need to know what’s causing it. That’s my job. You just need to book the chat.
What people say
“I went to Helen for hypnotherapy for smoking cessation over 2 years ago and have never looked back! It only took the single appointment and I haven’t smoked since – I was a smoker for 20 years. She is highly skilled and a lovely, warm person. Highly recommend! She has saved me thousands of dollars and probably my life.”
“This woman changed my life. I needed help with a personal problem and she guided me to a better way and showed me how to treat this problem. She is a wonderful counsellor, a professional that I feel so comfortable opening up to. Whenever I feel I need further guidance, I now turn to Helen for help. Thank you so much Helen!”
