Strategic Psychotherapy & Clinical Hypnotherapy Blacktown

Change doesn't have to take years.

Most people think therapy means talking about problems for months on end. Small improvements. Slow progress. But what if there was a faster way?


At ACT Complete Therapy, we use Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy together. This combination targets the patterns keeping you stuck and helps you shift them quickly.

This is hypnotherapy Blacktown residents can access from home, without the need to travel.

NDIS services available

We support NDIS participants and carers across Blacktown and Western Sydney.

A Method That Gets Results

Short, focused sessions built around what you need

Traditional therapy can drag on forever. Our method is different.


We combine two approaches. Strategic Psychotherapy finds the patterns that aren't working. Clinical Hypnotherapy helps those changes stick at a deeper level.


The result? You don't just talk about change. You actually experience it.


Online sessions mean you can work with us from anywhere in Blacktown. Every session is one-on-one. Focused on your situation. Designed to give you tools you can use straight away.

About the Approach

Strategic psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy & counselling

I work with people who are tired of being stuck. People who've tried other things that didn't work.

The approach is straightforward. Find the patterns that aren't serving you. Change them using strategic psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. Sessions focus on results, not endless discussion.

Here's the truth. You're not broken. You're running old patterns that need updating. That's the work we do together.

Hypnotherapy Blacktown FAQs

  • What is this therapy model, and how is it different?

    This model combines Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy. It's been proven successful for different challenges over decades. Hypnotherapy is gaining popularity as a method to help with various conditions.


    Strategic Psychotherapy identifies thought patterns that don't help you. It replaces them with ones that do. The key difference from traditional talk therapy? It emphasises changing behaviour. It asks "How do you do that?" not "Why do you do that?"


    Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy that helps change habits and behaviours by accessing the subconscious mind. It's considered an aid to psychotherapy because it allows you to explore uncomfortable thoughts, sensations, and memories. Hypnosis reinforces what you learn in the psychotherapy part. Hypnosis is a natural, focused state. It connects you with your inner problem-solving resources. It helps you bypass conscious limitations. It unlocks your potential for positive change.


    This combined model gets results faster than many other approaches, making it a fast method for creating real change. You won't just "feel" better. You'll also "do" better. Research shows this model works for 93% of people who use it. Hypnotherapy can achieve remarkable results in 4-8 sessions, which is often faster than traditional talk therapy.


    Your past is fixed. But your future can be transformed. At ACT Complete Therapy, we guide you through this process. We help you build confidence and reach your most important goals.

  • Is hypnotherapy safe?

    Yes. Hypnotherapy is completely safe when delivered by a trained, qualified professional. Hypnotherapy is considered safe for individuals of all ages. However, individuals with severe mental instability are not encouraged to participate in hypnotherapy Blacktown sessions.


    At ACT Complete Therapy, we maintain the highest ethical standards. We adapt every session to your comfort and wellbeing. We utilise evidence-based, therapeutic, and non-invasive approaches.

  • What are some misconceptions about hypnotherapy?

    Clinical hypnosis is actually a concentrated state of heightened awareness. Many people think hypnosis makes you unconscious. Or that the hypnotherapist can control you. These beliefs come from entertainment portrayals of hypnosis. They're far from reality.


    Clinic hypnosis is actually a state of heightened awareness. You stay conscious. You're aware of everything being said and happening. You remain in complete control throughout the session. The hypnotic state allows you to perceive things differently, such as reducing awareness of pain.


    At ACT Complete Therapy, we use a modern, permissive style called the 'Neo-Eriksonian' approach. This highly effective method works for most people.

  • How many sessions will I need with a qualified hypnotherapist?

    Session numbers vary. It depends on your objectives, personal circumstances, and the complexity of what you're addressing.


    Some people see significant results after one or two sessions. Others benefit from longer programmes. Most people experience remarkable results in 4-8 sessions.


    In your first session, we'll create a personalised plan. We'll give you an estimate based on your specific circumstances. We focus on progress and tools for self-regulation rather than promising "miracle cures" or guaranteed results.

  • What can hypnotherapy services help with?

    Hypnotherapy is versatile. It works effectively for many challenges, including:


    • Stress, anxiety or depression and anxiety management
    • Weight management and weight loss
    • Addictions and dependencies, including smoking cessation
    • Pain control and management, including chronic pain
    • Hypnotherapy for children and teens
    • Performance or procrastination

    Hypnotherapy can assist with common issues such as weight reduction (or weight loss), smoking cessation, and anxiety management. It can help you overcome bad habits such as smoking, nail biting, and emotional eating, as well as address sleep issues and insomnia. Hypnotherapy can reduce anxiety levels, aid in breaking unwanted habits, help change your relationship with food, and manage chronic pain. It assists in managing anxiety and stress by promoting relaxation and altering negative thought patterns.

  • Can hypnotherapy help me quit smoking?

    Yes. Hypnotherapy is highly effective for smoking cessation. We work with the subconscious mind to address the psychological habit and triggers driving your smoking. By breaking the mental link between smoking and relief or pleasure, hypnotherapy helps you quit smoking and other addicitons, and stay quit for good. Book a free clarity call today if you wish to learn more about our hypnotherapy for quitting smoking or gambling addiction in Blacktown.

  • How does hypnotherapy work with the subconscious mind?

    Hypnotherapy accesses your subconscious mind through a mindful and concentrated state. This allows us to work with deep-seated patterns, old memories, and beliefs that conscious thinking can't easily reach.

  • Can hypnotherapy help with self-esteem and self-confidence?

    Yes. Low self-esteem and self-confidence issues often drive performance problems, procrastination, and self-sabotage. Hypnotherapy helps you reframe negative beliefs about yourself and build stronger self-confidence. We work with mental imagery and positive suggestions to help you develop genuine self-esteem and perform at your true capability. Book a free clarity call today if you wish to learn more about our hypnotherapy for performance or procrastination in Blacktown.

  • How does hypnotherapy help with anxiety attacks and anxiety conditions?

    Hypnotherapy addresses the anxiety experienced by working with both your conscious mind and subconscious patterns. If you feel nervous, feeling tense, or constantly connected to worry, we use techniques to promote focus, calm your nervous system, and reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety attacks. For persistent anxiety conditions that makes stress management challenging, hypnotherapy helps you develop tools to manage symptoms and address underlying triggers.


    While our best advice is always to consult with a healthcare professional for persistent anxiety, hypnotherapy offers a powerful complementary approach. Book a free clarity call today if you wish to learn more about our hypnotherapy for anxiety in Blacktown.

  • Can hypnotherapy address compulsive eating?

    Yes. Compulsive eating often stems from emotional triggers and subconscious patterns. Hypnotherapy helps you identify what drives the compulsive behaviour and break the automatic response. We work with your subconscious mind to change your relationship with food and develop healthier eating patterns.

  • How long is a typical session?

    A typical hypnotherapy session lasts around one hour. Sessions are conducted in a comfortable, relaxed, and safe environment. At ACT Complete Therapy, sessions run 60-90 minutes based on your needs.

  • Does online hypnotherapy really work?

    Absolutely. Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as face-to-face sessions.


    Many clients prefer online hypnotherapy sessions due to their convenience and effectiveness. Some clients experience better results from online sessions compared to in-person sessions due to the comfort of their own environment.


    Video call technology lets you access the full benefits of clinical hypnosis. From the comfort and privacy of your home.


    At ACT Complete Therapy, we provide psychotherapy and hypnotherapy Sydney and Blacktown clients trust, with extensive experience delivering online sessions that are personalised and effective.

  • Who would benefit from this kind of therapy?

    Almost everyone can benefit from hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy in Blacktown is available for individuals of all ages.


    Whether you're new to therapy or have explored other approaches for years, hypnotherapy is recognised as highly effective. It's a versatile tool for addressing challenges and accessing your potential.


    Our satisfied clients across Blacktown and Western Sydney include individuals, couples, and family members seeking support for various challenges.

  • What qualifications should I look for?

    When choosing a hypnotherapist, it’s important to look at their overall training, professional background, and approach to care. Hypnotherapy is not government-regulated in Australia, so checking qualifications and experience helps you make an informed and confident choice.


    A well-qualified practitioner should have Australian-based, recognised training in clinical hypnotherapy, supported by a broader therapeutic background such as counselling or psychotherapy. This wider foundation allows sessions to go beyond surface-level techniques and address patterns, behaviours, and emotional responses in a safe, practical way.


    At ACT Complete Therapy, all qualifications are Australian-certified and grounded in ethical, evidence-informed practice. With training in counselling, strategic psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and mindset coaching, our approach prioritises safety, trust, and real-world outcomes, while remaining flexible to each individual’s needs.

  • How can I get the best results?

    To maximise your therapy experience:

    • Show up to your sessions consistently
    • Be open and honest about your objectives and concerns
    • Follow through with your therapist's guidance
    • Keep a positive and patient mindset
  • How long until I see results?

    Results vary. It depends on the complexity of your concerns. Your commitment to the process. The nature of your goals.


    Some people notice changes immediately. Others may need several weeks. Most people experience remarkable results within 4-8 sessions.


    We'll discuss expectations during your consultation. We'll monitor your progress throughout your journey.

  • Can clinical hypnosis really help me achieve my goals?

    Yes. Clinical hypnosis can be a powerful tool for positive change. But it requires your commitment and active participation.


    It's a collaborative process. We guide you to access your inner resources. But lasting results require your dedication. You need to apply what you learn in your daily life.


    With consistency, patience, and effort, hypnotherapy can help you achieve meaningful progress. Hypnotherapy can be used in conjunction with traditional treatments from your medical professional to heal both the mind and body.

  • Will I remember everything afterwards?

    Yes. You'll stay fully aware and in control during hypnosis.


    You'll remember most of what's discussed. It's normal to forget a few details.


    Taking notes after your session helps. Or listening to a recording (when provided). This reinforces the insights and techniques covered.

  • Will I receive a recording of my session?

    Yes. You'll receive a personalised recording of your session.


    Daily listening between sessions is essential. It reinforces your progress.


    The best part? These recordings are yours to keep permanently. You can return to them whenever you need a refresher or boost.

  • Can children and teens benefit from hypnotherapy?

    Absolutely. Hypnotherapy is a gentle and effective tool for young people. Hypnotherapy is considered safe for individuals of all ages.


    It helps them develop confidence. Manage stress. Overcome challenges like exam anxiety or fears.


    Our approach is adapted to their developmental needs. It creates a safe, supported, and empowering experience.

  • How much does hypnotherapy cost per session?

    A more useful question is often, “What do I want to change, and how much support will help me get there?” Hypnotherapy isn’t a standard appointment with a fixed outcome. It’s a process shaped by your goals, the depth of work involved, and how you respond along the way.


    Some people seek support for a specific issue and move forward quickly. Others prefer a more structured approach that allows time to address patterns, habits, or emotional responses in a meaningful way. The focus is always on progress, not ticking off sessions.


    At ACT Complete Therapy, we offer individual sessions and flexible options depending on what you’re looking to work on. If you’d like to explore what might suit you best, feel free to get in touch and have a conversation with us.

  • What makes ACT Complete Therapy different?
