Melanie Barrett Hypnotherapy

13/07/2026

I often see clients who’ve tried single sessions of hypnotherapy and felt relief-but then the old patterns quietly returned. I work differently. By combining depth‑psychology (I draw on Jungian ideas) with hypnotic techniques, I help you not just calm symptoms but understand the emotional story behind them.

One client - a composite, anonymised journey - came to me with persistent anxiety and difficulty regulating emotions. Early sessions used hypnosis to reduce acute symptoms so they could breathe and think clearly. As we moved deeper, psychotherapeutic exploration revealed recurring childhood themes and core beliefs that kept the cycle alive. Integrating insight work with trance-based practice, they gradually developed new responses, practiced them safely, and reported lasting change months later.

My clinical background and local practice in Bridgeman Downs mean you’re supported by evidence-informed care in a safe, confidential space. If you’re wondering whether a combined approach might suit you, let’s talk-discover what lasting change could look like.

Have you tried one-off techniques that gave short-lived relief? I believe lasting change happens when we weave talk therapy, hypnotherapy and nervous‑system regulation together. (That gentle integration is what I offer.)

Recently I worked with a local client in Bridgeman Downs who came to me overwhelmed by sudden panic and constant reactivity. We began with psychotherapy to understand the patterns, added hypnotherapy to recalibrate subconscious responses, and practiced nervous‑system skills to build steady regulation between sessions. Over a few months they moved from frequent panic to being able to notice triggers, use grounding tools, and respond with choice rather than automatic fear—measurable, steady improvements in daily life.

I bring clinical training, lived experience, and a compassionate, evidence‑informed approach to every client—so if you’re in Bridgeman Downs or nearby Brisbane suburbs and want a gentler, integrated path, let’s talk. Visit https://wix.to/aG1DNpC to learn more and book a chat.
