How I Can Help
Hypnotherapy, counselling, coaching and NLP all change how you feel — but they work in different ways. Here is a plain explanation of each one, so you can choose the approach that fits what you are dealing with right now.
Four approaches, one goal
I am Nikki Grae, a clinical hypnotherapist, counsellor and coach working online with clients across Australia. Most people arrive knowing something needs to change but not knowing which kind of help to ask for. You do not have to work that out on your own — read the four descriptions below and follow whichever one sounds like you.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Best for habits and responses that will not shift through willpower alone.
Hypnosis works with the part of your mind that runs your automatic reactions — the reaching for food when you are not hungry, the cigarette after dinner, the wave of panic before you speak. In a calm, focused state of attention you stay completely aware and in control, while we update the patterns underneath the behaviour. It is quick, gentle and evidence-based, and it suits people who have already tried to think their way out of a problem and found that thinking was not enough.

Counselling
Best for making sense of something painful, recent or long-standing.
Counselling gives you a confidential hour to say the things out loud that you have been carrying alone. Grief, anxiety, relationship strain, burnout, a decision you cannot make — we talk it through, and I help you find language for it and a way forward you can actually live with. There is no hypnosis unless you want it. Some clients use counselling on its own; others use it alongside hypnotherapy when there is a story that needs telling before the pattern can change.

Life & Mindset Coaching
Best when nothing is wrong, but nothing is moving either.
Coaching looks forward rather than back. It is for the client who is functioning perfectly well and still feels stuck — unclear on what they want, held back by self-doubt, or doing everything for everyone else. We set a direction, find what is quietly getting in the way, and build the habits and self-belief that carry you there. Practical, structured, and focused on the life you are building next.

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)
Best for changing an unhelpful thought pattern quickly.
NLP is a set of tools rather than a separate therapy. It works with the language you use about yourself and the mental images and internal dialogue that drive how you feel. Because the techniques are fast and practical, I weave them through hypnotherapy and coaching sessions — and I teach them to you, so you leave with something you can use on your own long after our work together ends.

Still not sure which one you need?
That is completely normal, and you do not need to decide before you start. If your problem is a behaviour or a physical response — eating, smoking, sleep, nerves — begin with hypnotherapy. If it is a feeling or an event you need to process, begin with counselling. If it is a direction or a confidence problem, begin with coaching. In practice I use whichever combination fits you, and we adjust as we go.
If you would rather start on your own terms, the self-paced programs let you begin today for a fraction of the cost of working one to one.
