Meet Leonie
Leonie O’Connell is the founder of Reconnect Hypnotherapy and a highly respected Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, and Trainer, with practices in Chatswood and Kingswood.
Leonie believes that every person holds the power within their own mind to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Her role is to gently guide and support clients as they reconnect with the inner strength and wisdom that has always been within them.
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.
She understands that real and lasting change begins deep beneath surface thoughts within the subconscious mind, where old patterns, fears, and emotions quietly shape how people think, feel, and behave. Through her gentle yet powerful hypnotherapy processes, refined over many years, Leonie helps clients access that deeper part of themselves where true healing and transformation occur.
Clients often describe her presence as calm, compassionate, and deeply reassuring. Leonie’s work is both heart-centred and results-driven, blending insight, science, and intuition to create profound and lasting change.
If you’re ready to take meaningful steps toward healing, self-belief, and freedom, Leonie will guide you every step of the way, helping you reconnect with your calm, confidence, and capacity to live fully again.

Our Main Services
Anxiety
Anxiety does not exist solely in the mind; it influences the nervous system, sleep patterns, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life. When left unaddressed, it can manifest as panic attacks, phobias, OCD, or PTSD, making every day experiences feel exhausting or unsafe. Hypnotherapy offers a safe, clinically proven, evidence-based approach to gently address these challenges at their root, working with the subconscious mind to restore calmness, clarity, and emotional balance.
Weight loss
Struggling with weight can be deeply frustrating, especially when repeated diets and exercise plans fail to create lasting results. Often, the real challenge lies not in food, fitness or willpower, but in the mind’s subconscious patterns that shape behaviour. Stress, trauma, addictive food patterns, and emotional eating can influence weight in powerful ways. Through hypnotherapy, these underlying patterns can be gently addressed, making sustainable and healthy weight change achievable and easy.
PTSD
When trauma remains unresolved, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can make life feel dominated by overwhelm, fear, sadness, anger, and a sense of being stuck. These patterns can affect how safe you feel in your own body and can impact overall health and quality of life. Hypnotherapy provides a safe, gentle, effective way to release the burden of past experiences, supporting a more fulfilling life with a renewed sense of calmness, clarity, and emotional freedom.
Quit Smoking and Vaping
Quitting smoking or vaping may feel impossible when stress, cravings, and withdrawal symptoms take over. But smoking is not just a habit, it’s an unconscious addictive pattern that keeps you stuck, often without any 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.
