I recently visited Genie for my Trichotillomania condition (excessive hair pulling - hair and eyelashes), this is something I've been doing since I was a baby and it's got worse over the past few years. Genie was absolutely amazing, she was able to sympathise with how this was affecting me as she had the same condition herself. It's been over 3 weeks and I've not pulled my hair or eyelashes once, which seems like a miracle! I can't recommend Genie highly enough.

Honestly I was very sceptical about hypnotherapy at all but I had tried everything else to stop compulsive nail biting and so I thought I would give it a go. I'm so happy I chose to do it and to do it with Genie. She is a genuinely caring person who listened to concerns and goals, and worked with me over 4 sessions to deal with the nail biting, and other habits/issues I had with anxiety and creative blockage. Like I said I was sceptical about the whole thing but from day one I noticed a 90% reduction in the nail biting issue and marked improvements with the other problems. I have already recommended Genie to a few friends of mine with similar issues and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, even a (reformed) sceptic like me. Thank you Genie you've changed my life for real ❤️

What an incredibly surprising, long lasting effect just two single sessions had for me with Genie! I struggled for the last 15 yeats with a compulsive lip picking condition (Dermatillomania) that I was almost doing subconsciously, but …

Skin picking, hair pulling, nail biting, jaw clenching — habits that happen while your attention is somewhere else. They are far more common than almost anyone who has one realises.
Because these happen below awareness, usually when you are stressed or half-absent rather than as a decision. Hypnotherapy works with that automatic side, which is why it is good ground for them.
Most people start with the two-session Program, and the plan is agreed on the first call.
Yes. Every session Genie offers runs online as well as in the room at 97 Avoca Street, Randwick, and you can choose session by session rather than once at the start.
Many habits run below awareness. Your hands are already at it before you notice. Hypnotherapy works with that automatic side of the mind. In deep relaxation, Genie guides you to become more aware of the urge and to respond differently. Sessions are tailored to you.
