Gentle, Effective Hypnotherapy Tailored to You
At Reconnect Hypnotherapy, we specialise in helping clients overcome challenges that hold them back in life. From anxiety and trauma to addictions and unwanted habits, our sessions go beyond surface-level symptom management to address the subconscious patterns driving these issues.
Unlike traditional counselling or talk-based therapies that mainly focus on the conscious mind, hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious—the place where automatic habits, triggers, and emotional loops are stored. This is why many clients notice meaningful change faster than they expected.
“Sessions are always personalised and adapted to each individual’s needs, using both modern, cutting-edge methods and traditional, time-proven techniques to create the gold standard of hypnotherapy.”
— Leonie.
Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, freedom from smoking, or a complete reset from trauma, Reconnect Hypnotherapy provides a safe and supportive environment for change.
Specialised Hypnotherapy Programs
Anxiety
Hypnotherapy
Anxiety can make even simple daily activities feel overwhelming—affecting your confidence, sleep, work, and relationships.
At Reconnect Hypnotherapy, we address all types of anxiety, including:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Social anxiety and public speaking fears
- Phobias and avoidance behaviours
- Panic attacks and nervous-system overload
Through gentle subconscious processes, clients often notice improvements in unexpected areas—better sleep, calmer moods, clearer thinking, and greater confidence in situations they once avoided.
“Anxiety can make people’s worlds very small. Hypnotherapy helps open their world back up again.”
Weight Loss Hypnotherapy
Most people know what to do—eat well and exercise—but find themselves stuck in old habits. That’s because weight loss is less about food, and more about the relationship with food at a subconscious level.
Our weight loss programmes address:
- Emotional eating and stress snacking
- Cravings for sugar, chocolate, or soft drinks
- Portion control and appetite regulation
- Motivation for exercise and fitness
Approaches include the Food & Exercise Mindset Reset and Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis, designed to reduce appetite and make healthy choices feel natural.
“It’s never really about the food—it’s about the relationship with food. Once that’s changed at a subconscious level, people no longer need willpower; they simply don’t feel like it anymore.”
PTSD & Trauma
Hypnotherapy
Leonie specialises in trauma-focused hypnotherapy using The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) and EMDR-inspired techniques. These processes release trauma at the subconscious level without re-traumatising—clients don’t need to re-live or re-tell painful stories.
Many notice improvements in:
- Sleep and reduced nightmares
- Fewer flashbacks
- Emotional calm and safety
- Clearer thinking and reduced anxiety
“Anxiety, depression, nightmares, flashbacks—they are often symptoms of unresolved trauma. By addressing the root cause, those symptoms may naturally disappear.” — Leonie
Quit Smoking Hypnotherapy
Nicotine patches, gum, or vaping target the chemical side of smoking, but the real addiction is in the habit loop. Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level to disconnect smoking triggers and cravings.
Most clients quit in just one session, with a free follow-up included if needed.
What we address:
- Subconscious cravings and triggers (coffee, driving, stress, social situations)
- Emotional rituals around smoking
- Stress regulation without cigarettes
- Preventing substitution habits like stress eating
“Clients often say it’s easier than they ever imagined—like walking in a smoker and walking out a non-smoker.” — Leonie
Gambling
Hypnotherapy
Pokies, sports betting, online casinos—gambling addictions thrive on dopamine hits that keep the brain hooked. By the time clients come to us, many have tried counselling, medication, or Gamblers Anonymous without success.
Our structured two-session gambling hypnotherapy programme includes:
- Session 1: Breaking the gambling addiction at the subconscious level
- Session 2: Building coping strategies, self-control, and resilience for long-term freedom
Clients report walking past pokies or logging off betting apps with little to no desire to return.
“By the time people come to me, they’ve usually tried everything else—and it hasn’t worked. Hypnotherapy may be the turning point.” — Leonie

“Hypnotherapy isn’t something that’s done to you—it’s a process you’re guided through. Clients sit in a comfortable recliner, close their eyes, and are guided into a relaxed state where the subconscious mind can be accessed.”

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.

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.

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
What to Expect from a Session
Every session begins with a conversation about your history and goals. Leonie then tailors techniques—such as NLP, Timeline Therapy, Regression, TRTP, and mindfulness—to your situation.
The process:
- Relaxation – you sit comfortably, close your eyes, and enter a calm, meditative state.
- Subconscious work – unwanted habits, triggers, or trauma patterns are safely released.
- Integration – positive suggestions and coping strategies are installed.
- Return to alertness – you finish feeling calm, refreshed, and safe to drive.
