What Annette Helps With
Support for anxiety, old patterns and emotional healing
Anxiety & Overthinking
Support to explore what sits underneath worry, fear, racing thoughts and nervous system overwhelm.
People Pleasing & Boundaries
Gentle support to understand why it can feel hard to say no, ask for what you need or put yourself first.
Old Emotional Patterns
Explore patterns that may have started early in life and continue to affect your relationships, confidence or sense of self.
Self-Worth & Inner Criticism
Work with beliefs such as “I’m not good enough,” shame, guilt or the feeling that something is wrong with you.
Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
A safe space to be deeply heard when life feels uncertain, painful or difficult to navigate.
A gentle, intuitive and deeply present approach
Sessions create a safe space where you will be listened to without judgement, without making anything you say mean anything about you. You will discover that you not need fixing.
My approach during a session may include:
- Counselling
- Hypnotherapy
- Deep listening
- Guided relaxation
- Inner inquiry
- NLP
- Psychotherapy-informed support
- Leela Therapy
- Meditation and mindfulness practices
- Awareness of the body
The focus is not just on managing symptoms, but on understanding the deeper patterns that may be shaping your experience.
What happens in a session?
1. We begin with what is present in your life right now
You do not need to arrive with the “right words” or a clear explanation. We begin with what is arising in you at this moment and what is happening in your life. Even if it comes out in a jumble. You are welcome, just as you are.
2. You are deeply listened to
There is space, safety and support to speak honestly, feel what is there and be met without judgement. I will have a quiet mind and an open, compassionate heart. I will not have a personal agenda.
3. We explore the patterns underneath
Together, we may gently look at thinking, beliefs, emotions, body sensations, memories or subconscious patterns that are influencing your current experience.
4. Hypnotherapy or guided inner work may be used
Where appropriate and with your permission, I may use hypnotherapy, guided relaxation and inner inquiry to support deeper awareness and change.
5. You leave feeling relaxed, at peace and with more clarity
You will become more aware of how you function as a human and that that you are not those surface patterns. You will know what you want and the choices to take. You will be very relaxed and clear, having experienced the truth of your essence.

What is the difference between counselling and hypnotherapy?
Counselling gives you a compassionate space to talk, reflect and be heard.
Hypnotherapy works more directly with subconscious beliefs, old survival patterns and emotional responses.

No. You can arrive exactly as you are. Many people simply know they feel stuck, anxious, disconnected or ready for something to change.
Are sessions available online?
Yes. Sessions are available online through Google Meet, so you can work with me from anywhere in New Zealand or overseas. Online sessions can still be personal, gentle and deeply supportive.

How many sessions will I need?
This depends on what you are bringing and what kind of support you are looking for. Some people come for a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support.

Hypnotherapy is a gentle, guided process. You remain aware and in control throughout the session. I will always ask your permission beforehand.
