Hypnosis for Anxiety
The way you are feeling now Is NOT something you have to live with.
The world for someone with anxiety isn’t easy. You’ve probably tried to deal with it in many ways. I have a feeling you have had a long journey to get here, where you probably weren’t taken seriously in some cases.
I understand how you feel, what you’re going through and I take every one of those feelings seriously. And let me just say, you’ve got what it takes to escape the grip of anxiety for good. You just need a helping hand to get there.
Hi, I’m Paul.
I’ve had the privilege of bringing comfort, control, and confidence to hundreds of clients struggling with anxiety throughout my career, using clinical hypnosis for anxiety.
While I am qualified to do traditional therapy, I often find this old process takes too long and doesn’t address the underlying issues.
Hypnosis often works when nothing else does. My unique hypnotic technique is the key to unlocking life-long changes you’ll experience from the first session.
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.
Just like your Psychologist, I am a Clinical Professional in the Health Care Industry. We all need our Qualifications, and I have mine.
Stop feeling trapped in your own life when you should be enjoying it
If you are constantly focusing on “what if” questions, it can be exhausting and keep you stuck in the anxiety loop.
Maybe you feel like you need to avoid a certain thought or situation because of your fear or worry about it? Or, once in that situation, you might feel a feeling of panic, fatigue, or your heart racing. These are just a few of the symptoms many of my clients frequently used to have.
You may feel this way too. It’s unfair, but it’s not your fault.
But what if you didn’t have to feel that way anymore?
To do that, we have to address the root cause of the issue: The mind’s overthinking, replaying, and trying to validate every unnecessary worry.
Traditional methods are missing the mark
As a trained and experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, I understand exactly what you’re experiencing. It pains me deeply to see so many people who use traditional methods continuing to struggle because they’re treating the symptoms, not the cause.
A large and growing body of research says Hypnosis is the best tool for rewiring how your subconscious mind interacts with your conscious behaviour.
This is because, during hypnosis, your subconscious mind is in a highly suggestible state. Similar to when you are fully absorbed in something, fully relaxed, and separate from any negative thoughts or feelings. (This happens naturally from time to time when you day-dream or lose focus for a moment)
David Spiegel, MD, Professor and associate chair of Psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford University, said: “In fact, it’s a very powerful means of changing the way we use our minds to control perception and our bodies.”
Clinical Hypnotherapy does more
Hypnosis often works when no other treatment does: It interrupts the pattern that created the process. This allows you to create a new process, a new way to think about the problem, eliminating the anxiety.
The results can be life-changing when this is done in a clinical setting, using Hypnotherapy blended with Psychotherapy.
A safe and professional space
- Where you can be heard and taken seriously because your feelings are very valid.
- Be fully aware, present and safe while remaining in complete control during the entire session.
- Talk through and locate the underlying issues behind recurring anxiety.
- Allowing hypnosis to guide you through changing your neurological response to the situations that trigger your anxiety.
What this process means for your life:
- Notice considerable improvement from the very first session.
- Be able to function normally, since you’ll have a much quieter inner voice with much more control over it.
- Identify and reverse the effects of your stress and anxiety all within a comfortable, friendly, and safe environment.
- Gain more confidence and control as you learn how to derail the “overthinking train”.
- Learn how to confidently shut down old triggers at a subconcious level.
- Sleep better without the never ending thoughts keeping you up so late.
- Addressing those higher-level issues results in that life-changing domino effect that so many of my clients have.
- Lifetime access to each trance session as an ongoing tool to maintain the new peace and calm in your life.
The full process
Your first session is up to 90 minutes and costs $300; we can spend extra time discovering what the issues are and how we are going to help you resolve it. Subsequent sessions required may vary person to person and are an hour long and cost $250.
No two sessions are the same, as no two people are. We use hypnosis strategically based on your specific issues and situation, whatever they may be.

Real people; real results
Changed our families life incredibly
Paul has changed our families life incredibly. He has helped us deal with issues we had with our son and as parents how to deal with that. He has also helped me with my anxiety issues. Paul is professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. I cannot thank Paul enough and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
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.
Anxiety Session

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 a 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 there website as he offers a range of services.

Anxiety Session
I expected to need several sessions to work on my anxiety issues, however after one session I have had great results. Being able to listen to the session recording helped immensely, I listened to it a lot for about a month. Thank you for giving me the tools to overcome my issue. Highly recommended.
The session was definitely worth the investment!
Booked in with Paul because I felt like I had hit a brick wall mentally in my business and anxiety was through the roof, as I kept missing deadlines due to second guessing and over analysing every single task I had set for myself. I had session with him this morning and already I've noticed a massive shift mentally. Getting home today I've been able to work undisrupted by my recent negative thought patterns I was once enslaved by. I now find this space between my actions/beliefs and my thoughts in which I am able to either validate them and if not, my mind automatically just lets them go. It happens in a split sec I can't explain it consciously but I guess that's the magic in superpower of our subconscious. Paul is awesome and made me feel comfortable from the get go, explained everything he was about to do so I knew what to expect. Also got my own personalised recording of the session so I can play it back before bed every night! The session was definitely worth the investment! Thanks Paul!

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 also a specialist in conversational hypnotherapy, hypnosis and mentalism at a clinical level since 2016.

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.
Are you ready to make a life long change?

I have had four sessions with Paul now, and it has made such a big difference in my life. My anxiety is now completely under control, and I feel like a new person. Thanks, Paul!

I had a hypnotherapy session with Paul Smith yesterday and I honestly can not recommend it/him enough. Paul instantly made me feel comfortable. He explained the process extremely well and let me know it was okay ‘not to get it’ at first. I liked the fact that the first part of the session was spent talking through the process and my reasons for being there in a state of consciousness, as I was able to fully wrap my head around the process. The last part of the session (going into a trance) was also extremely powerful. Paul recorded the session so I am able to listen to it 2-3 times per week, whenever I feel like I need to. I would recommend this to anyone looking to fix an issue in their life. Best decision I have ever made.
