Lift Your Mood & Motivation with Hypnotherapy BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

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

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

If you feel sad, empty, lonely or vulnerable, you may be experiencing a low mood or motivation. This is okay. There are many people in the same situation. Let me help and support you to be in a more positive and productive place. 

Besides several unpleasant feelings, you may find yourself socially withdrawn, losing interest in once pleasurable activities and drained of energy. You could also experience fatigue, sleep disturbances, body aches and pains, changes in appetite and difficulty concentrating. 

The future can be brighter.

The evidenced-based tools of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy enable a tailored approach to suit your unique needs. Together, we can work towards understanding the reason for your low mood and motivation, challenge your thought patterns to see new perspectives and equip you with practical strategies to overcome your concerns. 

You can become unstuck and have a more positive outlook on life. You take the first step, and I’ll support you throughout your therapeutic journey.

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 the heaviness and feel inspired, energised and ready to move forward.

If you feel like you are stuck with low mood and motivation, you might find yourself expecting the worst, being avoidant, making decisions based entirely on emotions or stuck in a pattern of rumination. These habits are common for people who have a decline in their mood and motivation levels from time to time. However, if you feel like this is persistent and negatively impacting different areas of your life, I can help you. 

Using a Strategic Psychotherapy approach, I’ll help you identify the cognitive patterns you run that keep you feeling stuck with low mood and motivation. I’ll then equip you with psycho-education around this and reinforce this reframed way of thinking through the use of Clinical Hypnotherapy. In this relaxed state, new cognitive processes can be installed deep in the subconscious mind, which is often where the cause of low mood and motivation stems from. You may then experience a different way of thinking and feeling and as a result, you could notice changes in your behaviour. 

Whether you are struggling with low mood and motivation in your everyday life, schooling or professional career, the integration of these evidence-based therapeutic tools can help you achieve quick and lasting results. You can feel re-energised and ready to reach your goals today.

Real Success Stories

Hear from some of my happy clients and find more on Google reviews

After going through major life changes, I saw Olivia due to my low mood. She listened to my concerns and was extremely empathetic. We worked together to identify the root cause of my issues and addressed my problematic cognitive patterns.

Ben

After years of struggling with self-esteem and anxiety, Olivia collaborated with me to help me understand the cause of my issues and I made significant progress within a few sessions. She is authentic and I highly recommend her services.

Ash

I saw Olivia at a time when I felt helpless. Given I had not experienced hypnosis before, she explained the process in a way that made me feel safe and comfortable. Olivia showed empathy and was warm and nurturing in her approach.

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.
