I'M
TARA
Hi
I'm a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, actor and writer - which means I've spent a lifetime studying why people behave as they do: how they think, why they self-sabotage, and what it takes to change the story mid-scene.
Turns out, those skills transfer.
I'm a very cerebral person, and can out over-think the best.
I came to hypnotherapy after years picking over the bones of my own issues, convinced that understanding them was the key to changing them. It wasn't. What I actually needed to know was: what do I now do with this understanding?
I help people make actual change. Not talking-it-around-in-circles-hoping-it-will change.
Real, brain-based, practical change that overrides the wiring that's not serving you.
Your brain is bloody brilliant but, sometimes… it can also be a bit of a dick.
The people I work with often look like they've got it all together - because in so many ways, you have. Talent, smarts, ambition and side hustles on your side hustles.
But underneath?
Overthinking on a loop, unhelpful habits you can't seem to break, self doubt, thirteen tabs open but no idea where the music is coming from....and a nervous system that hasn't clocked off since 2019.
You're not broken. You don't need to be fixed. Your brain is doing what brains do.
If your brain is your best asset - but seems to be getting in your way - I'm here to help you get it back on side.
If you know what you want change, but you're not sure how to get it...then you're in the right place.

HYPNOTHERAPY?

What is
Let's clear something up.
Hypnotherapy isn't mind control.
It isn't magic. And you don't have to lie on a
chaise longue or cluck like a chicken.
It's a practical therapeutic approach that uses focused
attention, neuroscience and the brain's uncapped capacity
to learn and change.
Put simply, it's a research-backed approach that uses trance -
a totally natural state you already dip in and out of daily. And with
solution focused hypnotherapy, we spend less time picking over the
bones of everything that's gone wrong and more time working out
where you actually want to go.
Here's the science bit: we're functioning in a twenty-first century world
on a thousands-of-years-old operating system. Anxious, low, or stuck in
a loop? Falling back on unhelpful habits no matter how hard you try to stop? Feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward? That's your primitive, threat-detecting brain running the show; great for escaping lions and tigers - utterly useless professionally, socially, romantically...or for just about anything that requires you to be on your game.
Hypnotherapy calms that part of your brain down and hands the mic back
to your rational, clever brain.
Add solution focused techniques - exactly what it sounds like, solutions over
endless analysis - and you've got a therapy for people who want results -
not a decade on a waiting list for "closure."
You're probably already pretty darn good at analysing things.
You don't need another person helping you over-think.
You need tools that help you think, feel and respond differently.
That's the work.
You're awake. You're in control. And you won't accidentally
reveal that you secretly hate your mum.
And trust me,
she was doing
the very best
she could,
anyway.
What Can Hypnotherapy
HELP WITH?
More than you might think...
Anxiety + Stress
Quiet the noise, close down a few tabs, get yourself out of fight-or-flight mode
Low Mood + Depression
Build momentum, motivate, and a get some sparkle back
Negative Thought Patterns
Silence the negative self talk, limiting beliefs or the brain that won’t STFU
Confidence + Self Esteem
Remember who TF you are
Sleep
Doom-scrolling until 2am is not going to solve the problem
Phobias
Spiders, flying, public speaking - the lot
Unhelpful Habits
Nail-biting, smoking, over indulging, stalking your ex online
Nerves + Focus
Auditions, exams, presentations...
IBS
Yes, really. Your brain and your gut are very co-dependent
Major Life Upheval
Grief, betrayal, trauma, PTSD
Optimisation
Athletes, executives, performers - lock in, and make your
A-game the default
Pain Management
It's felt in your body, but it exists in your brain
Weight Management
Your cortisol and insulin are in a toxic relationship.
Regain control so you can make the choices that serve you best.
Sexual Function
Erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia...sex is a mind game
Hypnotherapy can be particularly useful when you know something needs to change but you're not entirely sure how to make it happen.
If it lives in your head and is getting in your way, there's a good chance we can work on it.
QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked
How many sessions will I need?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is designed to be brief. Some people notice useful changes very quickly; others need more time. We'll review things as we go rather than signing you up for an endless subscription to therapy.
Do I need to believe in it for it to work?
You don't need to believe in hypnotherapy any more than you need to believe in physiotherapy for your knee to heal. Your brain does the work; you just show up.
What if I'm terrible at relaxing?
Excellent. You're in the right place. Hypnotherapy is not meditation.
You don't need to be naturally zen, meditate regularly or own a linen jumpsuit. We'll work with your brain as it is.
Can I do this while in regular therapy?
Absolutely.
How are sessions delivered?
Online, in the comfort of your own home, office. Many clients lay on their bed or sofa - some prefer a comfy chair.
All you need is a space where you won't be interrupted, a solid wifi connection and a cushion for your head.
Will I lose control or cluck like a chicken?
No. You'll be fully aware, fully in control, and 100% chicken-noise-free. Stage hypnosis is entertainment; this is therapy. Very different job descriptions.
