Hypnotherapy for Anxiety & Self-Doubt in Sydney
You might be doing well at work, meeting expectations, and holding things together — yet feel anxious when things slow down, doubt yourself despite evidence, or struggle to trust your own judgement.
This work is for people who are tired of managing themselves internally and want to resolve what’s driving that pressure beneath the surface— not just manage it, suppress it, or push through.

Anxiety doesn’t always look the same.
For some, it shows up as moments of intense inner dread —
the kind where all you want is to hide under the covers and wake up once the feeling has passed.
Maybe you are at home alone after a busy day. Driving in the car. Lying awake at night.
Suddenly your mind turns inward. Your body tightens. Your thoughts spiral.
Everything suddenly feels uncertain or unsafe for reasons that are hard to explain. In those moments, it feels unbearable — as if the feeling might take over.
For others, it’s quieter — but just as exhausting.
A constant hum of tension in the background. A habit of questioning your judgement. Worrying about not doing quite enough, being criticised, or getting something wrong. Feeling on edge about meeting expectations — your own or someone else’s.
You keep functioning. Chasing the next goal. Doing what needs to be done.
But never quite able to relax.
You may be capable, responsible, even praised — at work or by your clients — yet unable to trust or settle into that knowledge. Reassurance helps briefly, then fades. Confidence comes and goes.
You might recognise one of these experiences, or move between both.
You hold high standards for yourself. You care deeply about doing things well.
And yet just as an opportunity opens, or a decision needs to be made, something inside you tightens — hesitates — pulls back.
On the outside, you keep going.
On the inside, it’s exhausting.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not imagining it.
When Anxiety and Self-Doubt Don’t Make Sense
What you're experiencing isn't a personal failing, and it isn't because you are secretly not capable.
It’s a pattern.
At some point, your system learned that staying alert, questioning yourself, or holding back was safer than fully trusting yourself or moving forward without certainty. That pattern may once have helped you succeed, avoid mistakes, or stay in control.
The problem is that it hasn’t updated.
So even though your life, skills, and circumstances have changed, your internal responses still react as if something needs to be managed, anticipated, or prevented.
This is why you can know you’re capable — and still feel unsettled.
Why reassurance helps briefly, then fades.
Why confidence doesn’t stick.
It doesn't mean something is 'wrong' with you. It means an old pattern is still running — and patterns can change.
Why Anxiety Doesn’t Respond to Logic Alone
If you’ve tried to think your way out of this, you’re not doing it wrong.
Many of the people I work with are already reflective and self-aware. They’ve talked things through, challenged their thoughts, and tried to reassure themselves when anxiety or doubt shows up.
This isn’t because those approaches are wrong or useless. The difficulty is that these reactions aren’t driven by logic.
When an emotional response is triggered automatically, the nervous system reacts first — long before logic has a chance to step in. That’s why telling yourself to calm down, forced positive thinking, or even intellectual understanding of your patterns can feel ineffective, or even create more pressure.
On one level, you know you’re capable.
On another, your system reacts as if something still needs to be monitored, questioned, or prevented.
Until that underlying response changes, insight alone rarely brings lasting relief.
What Changes When the Inner Conflict Resolves
When the internal conflict driving anxiety and self-doubt begins to ease, the shift is often subtle — but deeply felt.
Clients don’t describe becoming a “different person” overnight. They describe feeling settled inside.
Less on edge.
Less internally braced.
Decisions feel clearer and less charged.
There’s less second-guessing, less pressure to get everything right. Self-trust begins to replace second-guessing.
Many notice they’re less driven by fear of failure or being found out, and more guided by what actually feels right for them. They’re able to tolerate uncertainty without needing immediate reassurance or control.
Moments of stress or worry may still arise — but they no longer take over. There’s more space to respond, rather than spiral.
This work doesn’t remove challenges from life — but it changes how you experience them.
How Subconscious Work Helps
Rather than trying to manage anxiety at the surface, my work focuses on addressing what’s driving it underneath.
Using clinical hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), we work with the subconscious responses that drive these experiences in a structured, contained way. You remain aware and in control throughout the process.
When helpful, trauma-informed breathwork may be used to support regulation — particularly when anxiety feels strong in the body — always carefully and intentionally. Transformational breathwork can help soften the system, support insight, and stabilise the nervous system so deeper work can integrate more easily.
This isn’t about reliving the past, analysing every detail, or forcing change. It’s about allowing your mind to update what it’s been holding onto — so your emotional responses begin to align with who you are now, not who you needed to be in the past.
Who This Work Is For
This work is for people who are reflective, capable, and ready to take responsibility for their inner experience.
You don’t need to have everything figured out — but you do need to be open, curious, and willing to engage honestly in the process.
It may not be the right fit if you’re seeking immediate relief without deeper exploration, or if you’re currently in crisis and need acute mental health support.
The work we do together is thoughtful, contained, and intentional — designed for people who want meaningful, lasting change rather than temporary coping.
Your Next Step
If you’re unsure whether this kind of work is right for you, that’s completely okay.
A free initial consultation gives you the opportunity to talk through what you’re experiencing, ask questions, and get a sense of whether this approach feels like a good fit — without pressure or obligation.
We’ll look at what’s been showing up for you, what you’ve already tried, and whether hypnotherapy, RTT, or breathwork might be supportive at this stage. If it’s not the right time or the right approach, I’ll let you know honestly.
If you’d like a clearer sense of what sessions involve and what to expect, you can read more about the process here.
You don’t need to have the right words, a clear plan, or a decision made before reaching out. This is simply a first step toward understanding what’s driving what you’re experiencing — and what might help shift it.
I offer RTT & hypnotherapy sessions in Sydney Inner West (Balmain and Five Dock), working with anxiety and self-doubt both in person and online.
A calm, confidential conversation to explore what’s been holding you back — and whether this work feels right for you.
