Areas of Special Interest
Amanda has a strong clinical interest in working with:
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Phobias and fears
- Negative self-talk and low self-esteem
- Trauma, grief, and emotional loss
- Addiction and self-sabotaging behaviours
- The mind–body connection in health and wellness
Her work supports clients to reduce emotional distress, improve confidence, and reconnect with their sense of agency and potential.
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.”

What patients say
I’ve had hypnotherapy in the past but Amanda’s practice feels very nuanced and intuitive. She has a profound ability to read you and meet you at the exact point you need.
Putting the hypnosis aside, she also provides such a supportive space to talk about the issues at hand and offers practical advice that doesn’t seem daunting to incorporate into your routine. Before meeting Amanda, I have left counselling sessions feeling drained from the emotional outpouring but, walking out of Amanda’s space, I feel lighter, happier and like I’ve had a mental massage.
To put it simply…my experience with Amanda has been life changing. If you are looking for a holistic therapist to facilitate lasting change, I encourage you to book an appointment. Run… don’t walk!!!

I came to Amanda after more than 20 years of seeing psychologists, searching for something that could reach the parts of me that still felt stuck. We crossed paths in 2025, and from the very first session, I experienced something different — a deeply relational approach that created an immediate sense of trust and safety.
Working with Amanda has been transformative. I was living with Complex PTSD, including persistent night terrors and a very loud inner critic. Through hypnotherapy, those night terrors have stopped, and that critical voice has quietened in a way I hadn’t been able to achieve before.
What I value most is the flexibility and respect in her approach. There’s no pressure — Amanda encourages you to come when you feel you need it. For some, that looks like regular monthly “tune-ups,” which speaks to the sustainable, long-term nature of her work.
This has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my health and wellbeing. Even my psychiatrist has noticed and supported the changes, recognising the improvement in my mental health.
The process truly feels like a partnership — you bring your willingness to do the work, and Amanda helps access and shift what isn’t always reachable through conscious effort alone.
Alisha
Seeing Amanda was the best thing I did for myself leading up to the birth of my son. The birth didn’t go as planned, but Amanda’s sessions kept me grounded and calm from the moment contractions started. The hypno paired with Amanda’s practical advice and supportive care helped me tap into my intuition and trust in my motherhood journey. I am so grateful I booked in and would recommend any expecting mums to do the same.
Hollie
I initially sought Amanda out for hypnosis, but I quickly realized how much I also benefited from the therapeutic aspect of our sessions—something I didn’t even know I needed.
Her sessions provide a space to release long-held habits and empower lasting change, equipping me with the tools to create long-term results on my own.
