If you are living with pain, you are not alone.
Pain can affect many areas of life — how you feel, move, think and respond day to day.
If what you’re experiencing feels ongoing or difficult to manage, you are not alone.
For many people, working with the connection between mind and body can support meaningful and lasting change.
At Hypnotherapy Dunedin, I work with people to support the body’s natural ability to regulate and respond differently to pain. I offer a confidential, professional and personalised approach tailored to your individual needs.
You may notice experiences such as:
- pain impacting your enjoyment of life
- difficulty coping with ongoing discomfort
- feeling tense, irritable, anxious or low
- pain affecting your ability to work or concentrate
- pain impacting on your quality of sleep
- strain on relationships or daily activities
- reliance on medication without full relief
- wanting to take a more active role in your own wellbeing
“The body speaks what the mind holds.”
My Approach to Hypnotherapy
My Approach
My work combines clinical hypnotherapy with a psychologically informed approach and breathing techniques.
With a Master’s degree in Psychology and a degree in Social Work, along with over 20 years of experience, I focus on helping you:
- feel more comfortable within your body
- respond differently to discomfort
- improve overall wellbeing and quality of life
My approach is gentle, supportive and non-judgmental, creating a space where you can feel safe and prepared
The Nature of Pain
Pain is a real and important signal from the body, alerting you when something needs attention.
Sometimes, however, the body can remain in a heightened state of alert even after the original cause has settled. When this happens, pain can continue beyond what is expected and become ongoing.
Working with the mind–body connection can help shift how pain is experienced, supporting the body to respond in a different and more balanced way.
Each session is tailored to you and your individual goals.
- chronic pain
- fibromyalgia
- nerve-related pain
- migraines and tension headaches
- lower back, neck and shoulder pain
- joint pain and arthritis
- sciatica
- irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- tinnitus
- dental procedures
- preparation for and recovery after surgery
- labor and delivery
- and many other pain-related conditions — even when they feel complex or difficult to explain
Each session is tailored to you and your individual goals.
