A Holistic and Integrated Approach
Drawing on her training in counselling, hypnotherapy, trauma-informed care and life coaching, Amanda works holistically with the mind, body and nervous system. This integrated approach allows her to help clients not only understand their patterns, but also gently shift the beliefs and emotional responses that keep them stuck.
Clients often report feeling a strong sense of ease and connection from their first session, noting that Amanda’s approach feels supportive, grounded, and deeply respectful.
Professional Background
Amanda’s professional journey began in 2003 with training and practice in counselling. Later in 2010 a family-related challenge led Amanda to explore the benefits of Hypnotherapy to support this family member. Seeing first-hand the significant and rapid results this provided, inspired her pursuit of formal training in Clinical Hypnotherapy and incorporate this into her practice.
Her early professional work included supporting Solaris Cancer Support patients, where she used hypnotherapy to help reduce anxiety and emotional distress associated with cancer. Amanda also volunteered with The Samaritans, further developing her ability to listen deeply and respond with empathy and clarity during times of crisis.
In 2007, Amanda opened her own practice in the Perth Hills, and since then has supported a wide range of clients across emotional, behavioural, and relational concerns.
Her guiding philosophy remains simple and effective:
“Change your thoughts, change your life.”
