Boost Self-Esteem with Hypnotherapy BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

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

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Do you lack confidence or struggle with a negative self-image?
Do you often criticise yourself, brush off compliments, or avoid situations where you might be judged?
Do you find yourself saying “yes” to others while constantly saying “no” to yourself?

If so, you may be experiencing low self-esteem, and you’re certainly not alone.

Low self-esteem can affect many areas of your life: from your relationships, work performance and decision-making to your ability to enjoy hobbies, sleep well, or take care of yourself. It can increase the risk of anxiety, depression and burnout. Some people may also develop self-harming behaviours, such as emotional eating, excessive exercise or alcohol use.

But here’s the good news: you can rewire your thinking, rebuild your confidence, and change the way you see yourself.

At Focused Therapy, I use Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy to help you address the root causes of your low self-esteem. These proven techniques work with your subconscious to help shift limiting beliefs, break old patterns, and install a healthier self-image.

You don’t have to live under the weight of self-doubt. You can learn to trust yourself again, and thrive.

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—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—more peace, more progress, and more 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 self-doubt and feel grounded, worthy and confident in who you are.

If you experience low self-esteem, you might find yourself stuck in patterns of self-judgement, avoidance, or people-pleasing. You may dismiss your achievements, doubt your worth, and over analyse social interactions. These habits can become deeply ingrained, often operating beneath your conscious awareness.

At Focused Therapy, I combine Clinical Hypnosis with Strategic Psychotherapy to identify and reframe the unhelpful cognitive patterns driving these behaviours. This approach can help challenge distorted self-perceptions, shift emotional responses, and develop a healthier, more empowered mindset.

By accessing the subconscious mind, Hypnotherapy can allow us to interrupt the mental loops that feed low self-worth and replace them with new, supportive thought processes. You may begin to see yourself more clearly—and more compassionately.

Over the years, I’ve supported many individuals in building their self-esteem and embracing life more fully. I understand how fragile our inner world can feel when we’ve spent so long second-guessing ourselves. With both personal and professional experience in this space, I bring empathy, insight, and a results-driven approach to every session.

You deserve to feel confident in who you are—and I’m here to help you get there.

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.
