Fast and effective treatment, achieving freedom from the chains of anxiety

Overwhelmed by anxiety? You’re not alone, but there’s good news—it’s treatable. Anxiety isn’t a disease; it’s a pattern of thinking and feeling that you’ve learned.

Do some of the points below describe how you are feeling?

You catastrophise into the future and imagine things going sideways
You don’t manage the uncertainties of life very well
You over analyse everything
You feel like you are out of control and this is happening to you much of the time
You tell yourself limiting things like “I’m an anxious person,” “I can’t cope” or “I can’t…” sometimes your internal dialogue can be very unkind.
You tend to avoid problems and conflicts. Instead of tackling a problem early, you tend to stop thinking about it.

Anxiety affects every aspect of your life, from relationships to work. But it doesn’t have to last forever. Overall, anxiety can be a heavy burden to carry, but it responds very well to Strategic Hypnotherapy because it is an unconscious pattern. Telling you it will be ok can only take you so far. Getting you to imagine yourself in a calm blue ocean can be pleasant, but it is not enough.

Strategic Hypnotherapy targets the root cause. We’ll challenge unhelpful beliefs, equip you with coping strategies, and change your unconscious patterns. You’ll regain control and respond to challenges with ease. Don’t suffer any longer. Get the effective help you need to conquer anxiety.

Meet Your Hypnotherapist for Anxiety Treatment - Jonathan Smith

Hello, I am Jonathan Smith. I am an accredited Strategic Psychotherapist, an ISPA and HCA Accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist and an NLP practitioner.

I trained at the Institute of Applied Psychology, one of the world’s leading institutions at the forefront of the strategic therapeutic approach. I am also currently the acting president of the International Strategic Psychotherapists Association.

As a Strategic Psychotherapist and Strategic Clinical Hypnotherapist, I have helped many people just like you deal with anxiety, become unstuck and take control of their lives. I can do the same for you.

The happiest and most balanced people I have met taught me not to wait for inspiration to do something. Instead, start doing it; the inspiration will come as you progress. Your commitment is a crucial part of the process. My commitment is to do all I can to get you the results you want most efficiently and quickly.

The most important thing is to do, not just think about what you want. Now is the time to take action. Let’s leave your anxiety in the past.

Founding Member International Strategic Psychotherapy Association

How I Treat Anxiety With Hypnotherapy

I specialise in combining Strategic Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that can help you leave your anxiety behind and, finally, live your life with joy and calm.

As a Strategic Clinical Hypnotherapist, I believe all behaviours, including anxiety, have a positive intent. Anxiety tends to be very future-oriented, or in simple terms, as you don’t know how things will play out, your mind, with the best of intentions, starts to look at options that “could” happen so that you can be prepared. Unfortunately, the way we are wired, we often tend to focus more on the possible negative options, imagining a problem that, in reality, doesn’t exist. Then before you know it, you start to feel the familiar sensation, a sense of impending danger or doom, helplessness, accompanied by physical sensations such as tension, increased heart rate, and sweating. Does this sound familiar to you? If it does, it’s time to do something about it. It’s time to learn to be able to park a thought or a feeling if it does not serve you. This is a mental skill that many never develop. Using strategic hypnotherapy, I can install the skills you need. You are not alone in this.

As an Accredited Strategic Psychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, I can help you develop the skills to manage your emotions of anxiety and channel your thoughts into more positive actions.

My techniques and strategies are tried, tested and proven. I can help you uncover resources you did not know you had, allowing you to become the best version of yourself. Of course, your story is important, and if there is a past you wish to deal with, we can certainly address that. However, you need to also understand that the past is unchangeable and learn to let it go. From there, we can look at “how” you run the anxiety you run and change that behaviour for a more useful one.

Anxiety is a behaviour you learned and are now running excessively. Let’s stop it!

There was a time when you’d have to travel to Macquarie Street, Sydney, to get this type of service. Today, you can experience this unparalleled and highly effective approach to treating and managing anxiety right in the heart of Wamberal, Central Coast, just a short 12km distance from Gosford. The best part? It’s not limited to in-person sessions. With equal efficacy, you can opt for the convenience and peace of mind by receiving the same top-notch service online, right from the comfort and security of your own home or office.

The most effective people on the planet all share one skill. They have the capacity to choose their emotional state and take responsibility for their outcomes. My approach presupposes that you have the same potential capacity. The strength to choose your own response rather than just reacting is an empowering feeling. It says, “I’m not getting stuck today, I’m going to live on my terms”. It gives you back your power.

Don’t leave this. If you leave your anxiety untreated for too long, you can pay a significant price. You do not need to suffer alone.

Take action today and leave anxiety behind. I offer a range of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy services to take your life back again. Contact me today to discover how painless and how effective hypnosis can be.

Real Success Stories

Hear from some of our many happy clients

Prior to meeting Jonathan, I’ve always battled with performance anxiety in high pressure situations. Since working with New Day it’s been life changing and has lead to many successes, not only in my career but in personal life.

Lucas Hampson

Jonathan is just brilliant. We worked together to address some difficulties I was having with procrastination. He has deep empathy and insight and quickly got to the bottom of some unhelpful thought patterns that I was running. I got immediate results from working with Jonathan and can’t recommend him highly enough.

Michelle Smith

I did hypnosis with Jonathan for anxiety and procrastination, he was very easy going and understanding of my goals. I was able to reframe my sticking points and gather better insights even within the initial session.

David Moss

I came to see Jonathan about anxiety, sleep and to change a habit. After just a couple of sessions I was able to change a long standing “bad” habit for good. I sleep much better and am generally more relaxed in my response to life’s challenges. It’s been 6 months since seeing Jonathan and I’m still in control of my choices in this area. Jonathan has a genuine, knowledgeable and professional approach and he is well worth investing in for a life-changing experience.

FAQ

What is anxiety?

Anxiety can be described as Intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations.

What are the signs or symptoms of anxiety?

Feeling restless, wound-up, or on edge.
Being easily fatigued.
Having difficulty concentrating.
Being irritable.
Having headaches, muscle aches, stomachaches, or unexplained pains.
Difficulty controlling feelings of worry.
Having sleep problems, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep.

What is Strategic Psychotherapy?

Strategic Psychotherapy is a term used to describe a kind of therapy where the therapist is responsible for considering decisions about how to help the client get to where they want to go. In effect, the therapist acts as a navigator. However, the client is still very much the captain of the ship. Strategic therapy seeks not to dwell endlessly on an unchangeable past but instead identify the limiting behaviours a client is running due to their life experiences and help them replace those patterns with more effective ones.

What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?

Firstly, hypnotherapy is nothing like what people see on TV or in the media. They are simply stage shows. Instead, to simplify, it’s better to look at hypnosis as a process of quieting the mind to be able to focus on specific issues in the moment. The most recent research suggests that because you have your eyes closed, your mind’s preoccupation with visual responsibilities is negated. The mind then can truly listen and engage with what is being said by the hypnotherapist. It is suggested that hypnosis is a way of facilitating highly focused attention. A well-trained, highly accredited hypnotherapist can then use the capacity of your mind to create a pivot point in your life and start to redirect thoughts and behaviours in a way that serves you better.

Is Hypnotherapy effective in treating anxiety?

Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for anxiety for many individuals. Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can help reduce anxiety symptoms, improve quality of life, and increase control over one’s emotions and thoughts.

Is Hypnotherapy safe for treating Anxiety?

Hypnotherapy is safe when practised by a qualified and experienced therapist. It’s important to discuss any concerns or questions with your therapist before beginning hypnotherapy for anxiety.

What happens during a Hypnotherapy session for anxiety?

During a hypnotherapy session for anxiety, I will guide you into a relaxed state and may use suggestions, visualisations, and other techniques to help you reframe negative thinking patterns and reduce anxiety symptoms. I may also teach the patient self-hypnosis techniques that can be used outside of the session to continue to manage anxiety, and will likely task you with some light homework to practice between sessions.

What can your sessions treat?

My therapy sessions expand to several speciality areas and are highly effective in addressing Anxiety, Low Self Esteem (which I prefer to call an unrealistic self-assessment), Insomnia, Procrastination, Addictions and Quitting Smoking, to name a few.

How many sessions are recommended to treat anxiety?

The aim of strategic psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy is not to have clients in endless numbers of sessions. The number will vary from person to person. However, clients will experience a genuine change in four to six sessions. This could be followed up by sessions from time to time as needed by the client.

How long does a session take?

An initial session may take up to 90 minutes, and the following sessions take 60 minutes. This would include an initial strategic interview, a clinical hypnotherapy session, and then a post-session interview that will also include assigning tasking to the client.

Is online therapy as effective as in-clinic sessions?

There is a growing body of research indicating that online therapy, conducted via video conferencing platforms like Zoom, is just as effective as face-to-face therapy.

Experience has shown that online therapy (via Zoom) works exceptionally well, on par with in-person sessions.

You only need an internet connection, headphones, a comfortable seated position, and privacy.

No traffic or parking issues, no rushing around, and evening sessions as late as 9 pm or even on weekends, so you don’t need to deal with asking for time away from work.

Will my insurance cover treatment?

Some funds do, and others do not. It can also depend on your level of coverage. It’s best to check your schedule to see if your insurer provides any rebates.

Will I receive a recording of my session?

Yes, all sessions are recorded, and a copy is provided. I suggest you listen to it daily between sessions. You will also receive small tasking assignments to reinforce the improvements that you can do between sessions.
