With years of clinical experience and a deep passion for helping others, Leonie has guided thousands of people to find peace, confidence, and transformation in areas of life that once felt impossible to change.

A friend put me into Leonie and after my first treatment I felt amazing. I had no idea what to expect and came out feeling like a million dollars. Whatever your issue it’s certainly worth considering Leonie as she is incredible at helping people.Posted on Liam WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was sceptical and hopeful at the same time. I needed to quit smoking but every time I tried my anxiety would escalate. I quickly discovered that Leonie is an expert at what she does. We worked on the anxiety first and then dealt with the smoking. I am now a much calmer and happier person. I cannot thank Leonie enough for her care and expertise.Posted on Amy WhitickerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leonie is incredibly professional and easy to talk to. After smoking 40 cigarettes a day, I quit straight after my session with Leonie and it has been amazingly easy. I can honestly say I am enjoying being a non-smoker and will never have another cigarette! Thanks so much Leonie for changing my life and giving me my health back! Amy 🙂Posted on Sally WhyteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can thank Leonie for my new found health and life. After completely quitting smoking my first visit, I returned to try and combat my issues regarding my eating habits. Leonie is an incredibly humble and gentle woman, with a powerful ability. I am 22 years old and can happily say I am now and always will be a non smoker, and am well on way to regaining my power around food! Thank you Leonie, you truly are saving lives with your work.Posted on Sally WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My biggest concern about quitting was that I didn't want to gain weight. It's now been 6 months since I quit by having hypnotherapy Leonie and I have actually lost 5kg. I think that quitting made me feel more motivated and more energetic and now, I feel great. Thanks Leonie

Our Main Services
Anxiety
Anxiety can impact every part of life—confidence, sleep, work, and relationships—leaving even simple daily tasks feeling overwhelming. It may show up as panic attacks, phobias, OCD, or PTSD, and stop you from living the life you deserve. Hypnotherapy offers a safe and clinically proven way to address these challenges at a deep, subconscious level.
Weight loss
Struggling with weight can feel frustrating—especially when diets and exercise programs don’t bring lasting results. Often, the real challenge isn’t just food or fitness, but the mind. Stress, trauma, negative thought patterns, and emotional eating may all play a role in holding onto extra weight. With the right approach, reaching your ideal weight becomes possible.
PTSD
Living with unresolved trauma or PTSD can feel overwhelming, leaving many trapped in cycles of fear, sadness, anger, or confusion. These emotions not only affect mental health but may also impact physical wellbeing. The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) offers a gentle, effective way to release the weight of the past and step into a calmer, more joyful life.
Quit Smoking and Vaping
Quitting smoking may feel impossible when stress, cravings, and withdrawal symptoms take over. But smoking is not just a habit—it’s an unconscious pattern that keeps you stuck, often without even real enjoyment. Leonie’s advanced Hypnotherapy process helps break through the willpower barrier, releasing cravings and unconscious triggers so you can finally be free.
Gambling
Breaking free from gambling may feel impossible when urges, stress, and the cycle of loss take control. Gambling is not just a habit—it’s an unconscious pattern that keeps you stuck, often leaving you with regret instead of enjoyment. Leonie’s advanced Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level to release the triggers and compulsions that fuel gambling addiction.
