Strategic Psychotherapy & Clinical Hypnotherapy Nowra

This approach brings together Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy, a combination that's delivered proven results for diverse challenges over decades. Strategic Psychotherapy works by identifying thought patterns that aren't helping you and replacing them with ones that do. The key distinction from traditional talk therapy? Strategic therapy prioritises behaviour change. It focuses on "How do you do that?" instead of "Why do you do that?"

Hypnotherapy communicates directly with the subconscious mind by using a state of focused attention or 'trance'. This transformational therapy addresses the root causes of issues rather than just the symptoms. Clinical hypnosis reinforces the learning from your psychotherapy work. It's a natural, focused state of heightened awareness that connects you with your inner problem-solving capabilities. This allows you to move past conscious limitations and access your capacity for positive change.

This combined approach delivers faster, more reliable results than many other therapeutic methods because you won't just "feel" better. You'll also "do" better. Research shows this model achieves results for 93% of people who use it.

While your past is fixed, your future can be transformed through Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy. At ACT Complete Therapy, we walk you through this process to develop confidence and reach a more fulfilling life. If you are based in Nowra or the surrounding area and would like to explore whether this approach is right for you, contact us to start the conversation.

Absolutely. Clinical hypnotherapy is considered safe when delivered by a trained, qualified professional. As part of our Nowra and Shoalhaven hypnotherapy services, ACT Complete Therapy follows strict ethical standards and adapts each session to your comfort, individual needs, and overall health and well being.

Many people think hypnosis makes you unconscious or allows the hypnotherapist to control you. These beliefs often come from entertainment portrayals of hypnosis, which bear little resemblance to reality.

Clinical hypnosis is actually a state of heightened awareness. Each person stays conscious conscious, aware of everything being said and happening, and maintains complete control throughout.

At ACT Complete Therapy, we practise a modern, permissive style of clinical hypnosis called the 'Neo-Eriksonian' approach. This highly effective and adaptable method works well for most people. Hypnotherapy is often combined with counselling or other therapeutic approaches for an integrative treatment.

Session requirements vary based on your objectives, personal situation, and the complexity of what you're addressing. Some people see significant results after just one or two sessions, while others benefit from longer programmes. In your first session, we'll build a personalised plan and give you an estimate of what to expect based on your specific circumstances.

Standard sessions typically between 60 to 90 minutes depending on your needs.

Clinical hypnotherapy works effectively for a broad range of physical and emotional challenges that affect your wellbeing, including:

• Stress, anxiety or depression
• Weight management
• Addictions and dependencies including smoking, overeating, and other patterns that hold you back
• Pain control and management
• Hypnotherapy for children and teens
• Performance or procrastination and lack of motivation
• Sleep disorders including insomnia, sleepwalking, and teeth grinding

Managing phobias by desensitising triggers and creating a sense of calm

Hypnotherapy facilitates self-transformation and self-healing by reprogramming limited thoughts and beliefs from past trauma. It helps you overcome patterns like fears, stress, pain, tension, and emotional hurt by working directly with your subconscious mind. The techniques you learn through hypnotherapy can help you develop forgiveness, self-love, joy, and gratitude. Many clients also learn self-hypnosis techniques to empower themselves to manage stress and challenges independently.

Yes. Our approach emphasises the importance of nurturing the mind, body, heart, and soul.

Yes. Hypnotherapy has been found to be highly effective for smoking cessation, with studies indicating it can be more effective than willpower alone. Hypnotherapy addresses the psychological habit and subconscious triggers associated with smoking, making it easier to quit and stay quit. By working with the patterns that drive the behaviour, hypnotherapy helps you break free from cigarette dependency for good.
