Healing Invisible Wounds
Trauma and Anxiety Support Through Hypnotherapy
The unseen effects of stressful events
Stressful or traumatic events, whether experienced directly or indirectly, can have a profound impact on our emotional well-being. Even if we don't immediately recognise the effects, these experiences can leave imprints on our subconscious mind, manifesting as:
- Lingering feelings of unease, fear, or worry.
- Subconscious avoidance of certain situations or places.
- Difficulty relaxing or feeling safe, even in secure environments.
- Unexplained mood swings or emotional reactivity.
- Disturbed sleep or recurring nightmares.
You don't have to bear these burdens alone. At Norwest Wellbeing, we understand the complex nature of trauma and anxiety, and we're here to support you on your journey to healing and wholeness.
How hypnotherapy can help
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based tool for addressing the root causes of trauma and anxiety. Our skilled hypnotherapists guide you into a state of deep relaxation, where you can safely explore and process difficult emotions and experiences. Through personalised hypnotherapy sessions, you’ll:
- Gently uncover and heal the subconscious wounds of trauma.
- Identify and release negative thought patterns and beliefs.
- Develop coping strategies and emotional resilience.
- Cultivate self-compassion and acceptance.
- Reconnect with a sense of inner peace and emotional balance.
At Norwest Wellbeing, we create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to heal at your own pace.
A gentle approach for children and teens
Stressful events and experiences can have a profound impact on the emotional well-being of children and teenagers. Young minds are particularly vulnerable to the effects of trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. At Norwest Wellbeing, we recognise the unique needs of our younger clients and offer specialised hypnotherapy services tailored to their developmental stages.
Our experienced pediatric clinical hypnotherapist creates a warm, nurturing environment where children and teens can feel safe, heard, and supported. Through age-appropriate techniques and a kind, gentle approach, we help young clients:
- Process and release emotional distress related to stressful events.
- Build emotional resilience and self-regulation skills.
- Overcome fears, phobias, and anxiety.
- Boost self-esteem and confidence.
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms and problem-solving strategies.
Hypnotherapy is a natural, drug-free approach that taps into the innate healing potential of the young mind. By engaging the subconscious through storytelling, imagery, and relaxation, our pediatric hypnotherapist helps children and teens navigate challenges, find inner strength, and foster a positive sense of self.
Investing in the emotional wellbeing of your child or teen is one of the most valuable gifts you can offer. At Norwest Wellbeing, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care and support to help young individuals thrive in the face of life’s challenges.
Find peace, resilience, and emotional well-being with the compassionate support of Norwest Wellbeing's experienced hypnotherapists.
The invisible impact of trauma and anxiety
Traumatic experiences and chronic anxiety can leave deep emotional scars that may not be visible to others but are acutely felt by those who carry them. The lingering effects can manifest as:
- Overwhelming feelings of fear, helplessness, or distress.
- Constant worry about safety for oneself and loved ones.
- Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in the world.
- Painful, intrusive memories or nightmares.
- Feeling numb, disconnected, or easily startled.

Managing my anxiety
I walked into Paul Smiths office with the final hope of managing my anxiety as I felt I had exhausted all options possible as every day had become such a struggle to do the simplest things, things I couldn’t avoid..like getting my girls to school, doing the shopping, I was living a life where Valium was my lifeline if it wasn’t in my handbag I wasn’t walking out the door. Hypnotherapy was never something I thought I’d look into but something made me find him that day and I’m so thankful I made that call it literally changed my life, there’s been so many positive changes and improvements In the short time I’ve been seeing Paul I can proudly say I am working again, I’m managing my anxiety, I don’t take any medication, I’ve quit smoking, my whole outlook on life has changed, I’m an overall happier person, my confidence is through the roof and everyone especially my girls has noticed a dramatic change in me for better. I extend gratitude to Paul smith @norwest wellbeing. I recommend anyone struggling with anxiety to go to their website as he offers a range of services. Paul is a kind, understanding, extremely knowledgeable professional in his field. He has helped me immensely. I look forward to my future 😃🥰

Clinical Hypnotherapy where it suits you
Clinical Hypnotherapy is just as effective in-clinic as it is online via Zoom. When the hypnotic process begins, the changes happen in your head, not the room you are in. So hypnosis is just as effective from the comfort of your own home or in person at our clinic.
The Norwest Wellbeing Clinic is located in the Nexus Building, Suite 210, 4 Columbia Court, Norwest, 2153; close to public transport and plenty of parking is available onsite.
We tend to do more sessions face to face as our clients like to be interacting in the same room. But that’s a personal choice, not a results-based decision.
Your Healing Journey Begins Here:
- Step 1: Book your initial consultation with one of our experienced hypnotherapists.
- Step 2: Collaborate with your therapist to create a personalised treatment plan.
- Step 3: Experience the transformative power of hypnotherapy in a safe, supportive environment.
- Step 4: Embrace a newfound sense of peace, resilience, and emotional well-being.
Your Privacy, Our Priority
At Norwest Wellbeing, we hold your trust and confidentiality in the highest regard. Any information shared during your hypnotherapy journey is treated with the utmost respect and discretion.

Hypnosis for Anxiety
After speaking to Paul on the phone I was ready to meet for some hypnosis sessions. I really wasn’t sure if this type of program would help me as I have tried many other things over the years that felt like a waste of time. Paul is very intuitive and speaks with confidence about how the mind works. What we discussed and his insights made a lot of sense and so far after a few sessions I can definitely tell there is progress. Thanks so much.

Second Session
Only just had my second session with Paul but the effects after the first session were immediate and noticeable. This is my first time trying hypnotherapy after years of anxiety and depression. Usually these are fairly well managed but I recently had a period of extreme stress and needed something else to help me get out of some anxious cycles resulting from that. I'm so glad I found Paul. What he does definitely works. Having hypnotherapy in my back pocket makes me feel a lot more confident about my mental health going forward.
Paul is a fantastic Hypnotherapist
Paul is a fantastic Hypnotherapist. His passion and knowledge for helping people are clear in what he does. After suffering from depression and anxiety for most of my life, I found Mind Spirit Body was extremely effective and achieved excellent results. In less than 4 weeks, I could feel my anxiety and depression was reduced. I am now able to face each day with a whole new outlook on life. I highly recommend Paul if you're facing issues like this in your life and you feel like you have tried everything!
FAQ
Anyone that can fall asleep then wake back up can be hypnotised. There is a large misconception that you need to be in a particular "state" for hypnosis to work. That's simply untrue. There would have been times when you lost focus for a moment, even while you were reading this page. That's a trance state. While you were daydreaming, you were still in complete control. You knew where you were and what you were doing. Well, it's the same, but I add in helpful suggestions, as your conscious mind loses focus.
It varies from person to person. Only you would know how it feels like to you. If you drive a car and lose focus, it's like that. If you are talking with someone and suddenly you missed the last thing they said, it's like that. Some people who do a lot of meditation or relaxation sessions describe it like they have fallen asleep. Each person's perspective is correct for them.
Absolutely! There is a large and ever-growing body of research to support its benefits. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I used science-based evidence in my approach. Unfortunately, in its dramatisation on TV and stage performance over history, it has been represented as a forceful mind-control where those hypnotised are unaware of their actions. In reality, the person being hypnotised is always in complete control of the situation.
Just like a Psychologist, I am qualified as a Clinical Professional in the Health Care Industry.
✓ My professional knowledge of Anxiety is second to none. I have long term experience with how it runs, treating it, how it impacts others around you, and how it continues through generations.

✓ I am an accredited Clinical Professional member of the Australian Hypnotherapy Association and the Hypnotherapy Council of Australia. Two of the largest hypnotherapy associations in Australia

We work with health insurance providers, but their acceptance of hypnotherapy as a valid method for change is questionable. Our Association gives us a health-fund provider number. However, not all health funds participate. Depending on your health fund, you may have the opportunity to get a rebate back on your session. It's important to note that this is not anything we can assist with. You must present our invoice to them after full payment for our services. More times than not, there is no cover.
Hypnosis is you making changes to how you think. When the hypnotic process begins, the changes happen in your head, not the room you are in. So hypnosis is just as effective at your place or in our clinic.
We do tend to do more sessions face to face as our clients like to be interacting in the same room. But that's a personal choice, not a results-based decision.
Yes Absolutely! Hypnosis is all about using your imagination, visualising and thinking about things differently than before. With my experience as a Conversational Hypnotherapist, I work with children as young as six years old through to adults. If you have a child or teenager with anxiety getting them help earlier in their life is one of the best gifts you can give your child as a parent.
