Have you ever felt like you’ve been working on yourself for ages—talking, reflecting, and trying to make sense of things—but something still feels stuck? If so, you’re not alone. This is where the powerful combination of counselling and hypnotherapy can truly make a difference.
Counselling lays the groundwork by helping you explore your thoughts and emotions, but hypnotherapy can fast-track your breakthroughs by working directly with the subconscious mind, where the roots of your beliefs and habits reside. Let’s take a closer look!
Counselling: Building Awareness and Emotional Safety
Counselling is often the first step on the journey of self-discovery and healing. It’s a place to:
Process emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
Gain clarity on life events and patterns.
Develop tools to handle day-to-day challenges.
Counselling focuses on the conscious mind, helping you understand what’s happening and why. It’s an essential foundation for anyone navigating change.
In New Zealand, you’ll find several counselling techniques tailored to different needs:
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Perfect for addressing anxiety and negative thought patterns.
Person-Centered Therapy: A compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your inner world.
Narrative Therapy: Developed in NZ and Australia, it focuses on reshaping your life story in empowering ways.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Combines mindfulness and action to help you move forward.

Hypnotherapy: The Catalyst for Transformation
While counselling works at the conscious level, hypnotherapy dives deeper. It connects with the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs, habits, and emotional blocks live.
Here’s why it’s so effective:
Releasing Limiting Beliefs: Many clients come to me after years of counselling, saying they understand their issues but can’t seem to shift them. Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the critical, analytical mind to access the subconscious, allowing for rapid release of limiting beliefs.
Example: A client who struggled with self-worth for years found relief after just three hypnotherapy sessions, replacing the negative inner dialogue with empowering thoughts.
Reducing Negative Self-Talk: Hypnotherapy rewires the subconscious to interrupt patterns of self-criticism, creating space for self-compassion and confidence.
Accelerating Progress: Once limiting beliefs are addressed, clients often return to counselling sessions with renewed clarity and momentum, ready to apply what they’ve learned.
How Hypnotherapy Complements Counselling
The beauty of combining these approaches lies in their synergy. Counselling provides the tools and insights, while hypnotherapy clears the blocks holding you back.
For example:
A client might use counselling to recognize that a fear of failure is tied to childhood experiences.
Hypnotherapy then works to release the emotional charge around those experiences, freeing the client to pursue their goals without fear.
With the block removed, the client continues counselling to solidify new behaviors and strategies for lasting change.
What to Expect from Hypnotherapy
The process is often faster than people expect. While counselling can take months or years, many clients see significant shifts in just 3-5 hypnotherapy sessions. Here’s what a typical journey looks like:
Sessions 1-3: Address and release the biggest limiting beliefs or emotional blocks.
Session 4-5: Reinforce positive beliefs and create lasting change.
Ongoing Support: One session per year is usually enough for follow-up, helping to maintain alignment and clarity.
The Proof is in the Results
I’ve worked with clients who spent years in counselling, only to feel stuck in the same patterns. After just a few hypnotherapy sessions, they experienced:
Deep shifts in their core beliefs, like finally feeling “good enough.”
A dramatic reduction in negative self-talk.
A sense of freedom to move forward and make the most of their counselling sessions.
One client described it as “the missing piece of the puzzle” that allowed everything else to fall into place.
The Simpson Protocol: A Hypnotherapy Game-Changer
Not all hypnotherapy techniques are created equal. The Simpson Protocol is a modern approach that’s incredibly empowering:
No Need to Share Personal Details: You don’t even have to verbalize your problem.
Holistic Healing: It works on mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual levels.
Superconscious Guidance: This method connects to your higher awareness, allowing profound change without reliving pain.
