Hypnotherapy for Yamba and Maclean
Yamba, Maclean, Iluka and the Clarence Valley are about 80 minutes from my Ballina clinic, so most of my clients from down there see me online, which works just as well. Some do the first session in Ballina and the rest from home. I’ve worked with over 2,000 clients on anxiety, smoking and vaping, alcohol, weight, phobias, confidence and stress.
Getting here
Online: the easiest option from the Clarence. You need a quiet room, a laptop or tablet, and an hour and a half for the first session. Hypnosis works over video. Your brain doesn’t know the difference.
In person: Ballina is about 80 minutes from Yamba and 70 from Maclean up the Pacific Motorway. I’m in Tamar Street on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday afternoons, with street parking.
A lot of people from Yamba do one longer session in Ballina to start, then follow up online. Either way, the first step is the same: a free 15 minute chat by phone.

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 the Clarence come for
Smoking and vaping, drinking that has become a habit rather than a choice, anxiety, and the low, flat feeling that doesn’t lift. If you’ve been to counselling in Grafton or Maclean and you’re still feeling the same, that’s exactly 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
“Highly recommend Helen. In 2017 I had one session and have not smoked since. I had given up many times before but had always gone back to it. It was the best money I ever spent especially when I look at the price of them now.”
“Helen is excellent. Every time I need help with coping with different crises in my life Helen just makes coping and looking at everything differently. Can’t give her enough accolades.”
