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.

If any of these sounds familiar, you are welcome to start with a conversation.

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.
Hypnotherapy
We establish what you want, then there is a guided meditation to relax you deeply so that you can access the subconscious.
Counselling
My style of counselling involves listening deeply to you. You will be truly heard, probably like you have never been heard before, even as a child.
Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
A safe space to be deeply heard when life feels uncertain, painful or difficult to navigate.
Supervision & Mentoring
We will define what you want, that is, what is your goal and what do you want to change and how you would like the change to look like.
A gentle, intuitive and deeply present approach
My work is calm, compassionate and grounded in deep listening. Sessions are not about forcing change or fixing you. They are about creating a safe space where you can meet yourself more honestly and gently.
My approach may include:
- Counselling
- Hypnotherapy
- Deep listening
- Guided relaxation
- Inner inquiry
- NLP
- Psychotherapy-informed support
- Leela Therapy
- Meditation and mindfulness practices
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 right now
You do not need to arrive with the “right words” or a clear explanation. We begin with what is happening for you now - the circumstances, thoughts, emotions, body sensations. Even if it comes out as a jumble.
2. You are deeply listened to
There is space, safety and support for you 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 or be trying to get you anywhere is particular.
3. We explore the patterns underneath
Together, we may gently look at 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.
The aim is to help you feel more connected, calm and aware of your own inner truth.

What is the difference between counselling and hypnotherapy?
Counselling gives you a safe space to talk, reflect and be heard.
Hypnotherapy works more directly with subconscious beliefs, patterns and emotional responses.
Do I need to know what is wrong before I book?
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 NZ, Aotearoa and the world.
Online sessions can still be personal, gentle and deeply supportive.
Where are in-person sessions held?
In-person sessions take place in my home in Paraparaumu, on the Kāpiti Coast.
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.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, guided process. You remain aware and in control throughout the session. I will ask your permission first and we can stop at any stage.
What if I feel nervous about booking?
That is very normal. If it would be helpful, I can send you some photos of my home. Also, you can get to know me a bit by watching and listening to me on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/annettecburrell
