Counselling & Hypnotherapy Sessions on the Kāpiti Coast and Online
Gentle, confidential support for people who feel stuck in anxiety, overthinking, emotional pain, old patterns or a sense of disconnection from themselves.
At The Inner Path, Annette Burrell offers one-to-one counselling and hypnotherapy sessions designed to help you feel heard, supported and more connected to who you really are.
You may benefit from counselling and hypnotherapy if you:
If any of these sounds familiar, you are welcome to start with a conversation.
- Feel anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally stuck
- Find yourself overthinking or worrying constantly
- Struggle with people pleasing or saying no
- Feel disconnected from yourself or unsure what you want
- Keep repeating old patterns even though you understand them
- Have addictive behaviours that you want to stop
- Carry feelings of shame, fear, grief or “not good enough”
- Want gentle support rather than a rushed or clinical experience
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
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 or inner inquiry to support deeper awareness and change.
5. You leave 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.
