Choosing the right form of therapy can feel confusing. Terms like psychotherapy, counselling, and hypnotherapy are often used interchangeably, yet they describe different — and complementary — ways of supporting psychological change. In my practice, these approaches are integrated thoughtfully and ethically to support meaningful, lasting change.
This page explains what each approach involves, how they differ, and how they may work together depending on your needs. Find out more ….
Effective therapy is not just about techniques — it is about how those techniques are used, when, and within what kind of therapeutic relationship.

Thinkshift Transformational Therapy provides Psychotherapy, Counselling and Hypnotherapy wellbeing and therapy services.
As the principal therapist of Thinkshift, my purpose has always been directed towards creating effective and positive change for corporations and individuals alike since the mid 1980’s.
Since the 1990’s I commenced vocational trainings across Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic Processing (NLP) and other fields. I undertook Diploma’s in Professional Counselling, Egostate Therapy, and Metaphysics in the mid 2000’s. In the mid 2010’s I furthered university studies to gain a Masters Degree in Counselling, a Masters Degree in Metaphysics and specialised training as an DMDR, Brainspotting and Havening therapist.
Membership of recognised and relevant associations is important as it assures that the therapist embraces professional standards.
A level 4 member (most experienced) of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA#8312), Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA #30404) and a clinical member of the Australian Association for Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (AACHP#2003094).
I have the pleasure and honour to supervise other Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists in clinical practice.

There are many therapist and practitioners in the world today, who can acquire a “qualification” over a weekend, especially in unregistered fields and professions like Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy.
In contrast our psychotherapy and counselling draws on years of clinical experience, training in evidence based therapies and the use of therapeutic techniques to deliver tangible results in the lives of my clients.
We use a variety of approaches in my clinic, including: Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Psycho-education.
For many people, the hardest part is taking that first step, to pick up the phone and ask for help.
We try to make these steps easier, by offering a complementary 15 minute phone consultation.
This enables us to talk through with you, your peresonal circumstances and to “break the ice”. It also allows us to ensure that we at Thinkshift Transformational Therapy can assist you. We can also match you to which of our wellbeingness services and programs could be most beneficial to you.
We are looking forward to assisting you.
