A: For counselling or hypnotherapy, sessions usually last for about an hour. 

A: No, I can't guarantee it. Hypnosis works for many people, but you need to be committed and prepared to do some work about changing your situation. If you're not really committed, it's a lot less likely work for you. For counselling, I'll do my best to help you work through your issues.

A: For people who smoke quite a lot (say more than 20 cigarettes a day) it's often necessary to have one or two follow up sessions. For those who smoke lightly, one session is often enough. I urge all smokers to use my CD for reinforcement.

A: Yes, family groups are welcome. If one  family member needs to see me separately for any reason, that's fine too. I have plenty of room, and my clinic is very comfortable. 

A: It really depends on the issue at hand, but normally two or three sessions is sufficient. If there are complex issues, or multiple issues (say..smoking, anxiety, weight loss, all being dealt with, then more sessions might be needed.

A: I hold a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy,  a Diploma in Professional Counselling, aDiploma in Stress Management, and a Diploma in Child Development. I'm a member of the Australian Counsellors Association, a member (and registered supervisor) of the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotheraits.

A: No, I don't offer Medicare rebates, but some Private Health funds do allow rebates for my services. You'll find though, that my rates are comparable to (or even less than) many practitioners who do offer Medicare rebates, so your out of pocket costs might even be less than for many rebating therapists.

A: It's usually possible to see me within a week, sometimes sooner. If you urgently need to see me for counselling, I'll do my best to arrange the shortest possible waiting time.

A: Yes I do. There are titles for many issues that affect children, such as anxiety, low- confidence, bedwetting and many more. You can see my complete range at www.sleeptime.com.au

A: Yes I do. If it's not convenient for you to see me during normal business hours, other times, including week-ends, can be arranged.
