Frequently asked questions
"How does your therapy work?"
Despite our limitations, modern research reveals that our brains are adaptable as neuroplasticity. I use a range of modalities to help make change by helping individuals create new mental habits and neural pathways. This allows clients to rewire their responses to challenges and triggers, making mindset change not only possible but sustainable.
"What type of therapy is used at Weightless Mind?"
At Weightless Mind, your therapy is designed specifically for you. I treat every client as an individual, because there is no one size fits all approach to healing. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to your needs and aligned with your personal goals.
During your first session we will discuss the possibilities and to discover if there are any issues that are holding you back.
Types of modalities used:
- Coaching
- Clinical Hypnotherapy
- Strategic Psychotherapy
- NLP
- Talk therapy
"Will I be safe during hypnosis or lose control?"
Yes, you are completely safe during hypnosis. You do not lose control; in fact, you will find you will have greater focus.
Some mistakenly associate it with loss of control, as shown in stage hypnosis. Clinical Hypnotherapy is hugely different from the stage. Despite the decades of research on its therapeutic value, the value of and uptake of clinical hypnosis was slow in Australia. While it was originally popular for helping people quit smoking or lose weight, its use has broadened considerably over time.
We are all in a state of light hypnosis during our day to day. It can happen when we are in flow doing something familiar or something we enjoy like music or dancing. It can be like being fully absorbed in a movie or a book.
"How can Clinical Hypnotherapy help?"
Clinical hypnotherapy may be applied to a range of issues, such as anxiety, emotional eating, weight loss, smoking cessation, breaking bad habits, procrastination, managing stress, childbirth (Hypno Birthing), overcoming fears like dental visits, enhancing performance, addressing sleep problems, boosting self-esteem, and more.
Many famous people have used Hypnotherapy; here is just a few:
- David Beckham – Used hypnotherapy to manage negative thoughts and improve performance
- Adele (Singer) – Used hypnotherapy to quit smoking
- Albert Einstein – Used hypnosis to enhance creativity and problem-solving
- Orlando Bloom – Used hypnotherapy for weight loss and to overcome a chocolate addiction
- Winston Churchill – Used hypnotherapy to improve focus and manage stress
- Julia Roberts (Award-winning actress) – Used hypnotherapy to overcome stuttering
- Tiger Woods – Used hypnotherapy for sports performance and mental conditioning
"What is NLP?"
Neuro-linguistic programming this is a set of tools for enhancing self-awareness, improve communications, transforming limiting beliefs, goal setting, fear/phobia alleviation, and enhancing self-esteem. It helps clients understand how their mind thinks and how they behave the way they do.
"Do you do remote online sessions?"
Yes, online sessions are available. These can be just as successful as in person. The only difference is where you are sitting.
"Do you do home visit sessions?"
Yes, depending on the area and circumstances these can be arranged.
"Are the sessions confidential?"
Absolutely! Your privacy is my priority. Our discussions and communications are conducted in a professional and ethical manner.
"How many sessions will I require?"
This will depend on the individual. Most clients see results in just a few sessions. I also have long term clients that like to do weekly coaching sessions. This is discussed during the discovery call where we establish what you need help with.

Reviews

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42, I thought treatment would be the hardest part. I was wrong. After treatment, I was blindsided by constant anxiety, racing thoughts about recurrence, a tight chest, and sudden panic attacks that made everyday life feel unsafe.
I reached out to Michelle at Weightless Mind. Michelle’s hypnotherapy was gentle and grounding, helping me step out of the cycle of catastrophic thinking. She introduced gratitude journaling, which gave me small, positive thoughts in my day, and she encouraged simple, consistent mindfulness. She also encouraged me toward regular movement, reminding me that exercise could be a calm place rather than another task.
Results took time, but she gave me a way back to myself. I sleep better, my panic has eased, and the “what ifs” no longer rule me. I feel present with my family again. I laugh more. I’m not defined by cancer or by fear.
Michelle combines deep empathy with practical tools that work. If you’re living under the weight of anxiety and fear, Weightless Mind can help you breathe and begin to enjoy life again.

When I started using hypnotherapy as means to manage weight loss and good nutrition, I had no idea how effective it could be. The sessions are so comfortable, it feels like a chat and a warm blanket.
Then when I followed up with the personal homework, I realised just how much I was learning and understanding. It’s like the conversations left little triggers that became part of daily decisions about good eating and being healthy, where the core issues lie and how to focus on that as a potential solution.
By shifting focus and thinking about long time habits rather than short term fixes, I have learned how to work with myself for the better.

My coaching with Michelle has been a pleasant welcoming thoughtful experience. It's opened my mind up, to rethink about my challenges in every day life, and channel my thoughts in a different more thoughtful, believable way which is empowering and enhancing. I have really enjoyed our sessions and looked forward to them.
