What clients say

I had a few mental blocks around public speaking and talking on camera and thanks to Genie at Key Hypnotherapy I've been able to mostly overcome them and still working on it. What's great is she provides the recorded audio of the sessions, enabling me to listen every time I feel the need. I will be back to work on insomnia. She's also super welcoming and genuine.

Questions people ask

Is a phobia different from anxiety?

Yes, and the difference matters. A phobia has a trigger you can name — a flight, a needle, a lift — and that specificity is good news, because it gives the work somewhere precise to go. Anxiety has no single cause.

How many sessions does a phobia take?

A specific fear with a clear trigger usually takes fewer sessions than something general. Most people start with the two-session Program and the plan is agreed on the first call.

Will I have to face the thing I am afraid of?

Not in the session. You relax deeply, and from that calm state Genie guides you to respond differently to it. You go at your own pace throughout.

Can sessions be online?

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.
