Release Your Anxiety & Stress with Hypnotherapy BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy are evidence-based approaches that achieve results fast

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

If your mind feels like it’s always racing… if you overthink, avoid situations, or feel constantly on edge, you’re not alone. Anxiety and stress are incredibly common, and they can affect both your mental and physical wellbeing.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, restless, unable to focus, or stuck in a cycle of procrastination. Physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, trembling, or disrupted sleep can make things even harder. But things can change.

Using a powerful blend of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy, I’ll help you understand what’s driving your anxiety, reframe limiting thought patterns, and develop practical tools to calm your mind and feel back in control.

You deserve a life that feels calmer, lighter, more balanced, and I’m here to help you get there.

Hi, I'm Olivia Arkley

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed or held back by patterns that no longer serve you, you’re in the right place. I use Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy to help you work through the mental and emotional blocks that keep you from moving forward, so you can feel calm, clear, and in control of your life again.

Unlike traditional talk therapies, this approach works with your subconscious mind, which is the place where unhelpful habits and limiting beliefs are stored. That means we can often create meaningful, lasting change more efficiently. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, procrastination, self-esteem, low mood, motivation, phobias, fears or food dependencies, I’ll support you in developing the insight, tools, and confidence to take action and feel like yourself again.

With a background in education and specialised qualifications in hypnosis, strategic psychotherapy, counselling, anxiety management, EMDR, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, I combine proven techniques to suit your individual needs. Everything we do is focused on helping you achieve real results and more peace, progress, and purpose.

I’m an accredited and professionally recognised practitioner, which means you can feel confident knowing you’re working with someone who’s committed to the highest standards of care and ethics.

I truly believe that change comes from within and that everyone has the inner resources to create the life they want. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, reframe the way you think, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Break free from anxious patterns—and feel calm, clear and in control.

If you’re living with anxiety or stress, you might find it hard to switch off your thoughts, sit with uncertainty, or separate yourself from overwhelming emotions. You may constantly project into the future, assume the worst, avoid situations, or struggle to assess everyday risks clearly. These are common cognitive patterns, but they don’t have to define your life.

I use a powerful blend of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Strategic Psychotherapy, and the Rapid Anxiety Reduction Method (RARM), a specialised approach that also draws from NLP and CBT principles. Together, these techniques can help uncover the root causes of your anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and rewire the way you respond to stress.

In a deeply relaxed state, your mind can become more open to change. We’ll use this to gently reframe your thoughts, let go of limiting beliefs, and create new, more empowering ways of thinking and behaving. You’ll walk away with practical tools you can use every day, not just in the therapy room.

Whether you’re dealing with generalised anxiety, social anxiety, performance anxiety or ongoing stress, this integrated approach can provide fast, effective, and lasting relief, without relying on medication. I’ll guide you step by step. You’ll feel supported, equipped, and ready to create a future where anxiety and stress no longer holds you back.

FAQ

How safe is Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Yes, Clinical Hypnotherapy is 100% safe when delivered by a therapist who has specialised training and qualifications that are nationally recognised.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural and deeply relaxed state where you experience heightened awareness, increasing the susceptibility to suggestions.
Can I be hypnotised?
Yes, but the deepness of the hypnotic state will vary between clients and depend on how open you are to the process. Despite the level of relaxation reached, you can still achieve results.
Am I in control during hypnosis?
Yes, it is a common misconception that people can lose control of their mind and bodies during hypnosis. You are free to open your eyes and come out of hypnosis at any time.
Will I remember everything from my hypnosis session?
Most people will be able to recall the details from their session. These are likely to fade over time, just like other memories. Your therapist will provide you with a recording, which will help reinforce strategic messages suggested and maintain your progress.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
This is dependent on the complexity of presenting issues, goals and willingness to engage in the process. Many clients see immediate results after one session. However, the recommendation is typically between 3-6 consultations to monitor, reinforce and build on progress.
Can our sessions be done online?
Yes, sessions are offered both online and at the consulting rooms at Kingston Beach Health Centre.
Is this covered by Medicare rebates and/or my private health fund?
Unfortunately, Hypnotherapy is not covered by Medicare rebates. Depending on your provider and level of coverage, some rebates can be claimed through your private health fund.
