Hello my name is Karen Jackson, founder of Shine Brightly Hypnotherapy & Counselling.Please note: Hypnotherapy & Counseling sessions are available throughout Australia via Phone or Internet. Are you suffering from stress, worry or anxiety?Do you find it difficult to switch off after work?Do you have trouble sleeping or wake up feeling exhausted and unmotivated?Do you have a negative expectancy? That is, do you constantly think “what if this happens or what if it goes wrong”Do you avoid social or difficult situations?Or perhaps you find yourself overeating, comfort eating or distracting yourself with your phone or something else.If you’re like most people, you may be so used to living in a constant state of stress, fear, and/or worry that you may not even be aware that you are experiencing anxiety. Worst still you may not be aware that it is possible to reduce or beat anxiety.The reason I do what I do is, I hate seeing people suffering from anxiety. I love educating people about anxiety and the different techniques they can use to reduce stress, fears, and anxiety in their lives.I have a passion for working with and supporting people, particularly those who are caring for and supporting others in their lives, such as their children, aging parents and/or family members who are unable to take care of themselves.I often find these wonderful people put everyone else’s needs before their own. Failing to take care of your own needs can lead you to feel anxious, exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed, and sometimes even feeling like you’re been taken for granted. Sessions: available on Facetime (video phone call) and online via Zoom. From the comfort and privacy of your own home, anywhere in Australia. Flexible session times can be arranged by request.Pricing:General Counselling: $125 (GST inclusive) per hour session.As individual policies and private health care companies’ terms and conditions vary, please check with your private health care insurer to see if you are eligible for a rebate for counselling under your policy.Strategic Psychotherapy & Clinical Hypnotherapy Sessions: Sale price $150 (GST inclusive) per hour session.
