Hypnotherapist Sunshine Coast

You already know something has to change.

The pattern is obvious.

The loop is exhausting.

Everything you’ve tried worked, until it didn’t.

That’s not failure.

You’ve been working on the surface

For capable, high-functioning people who are tired of managing it.

You’re not broken. You’re running an old program.

You look capable from the outside. Inside, you’re overthinking, over-giving, over-performing, and still questioning yourself.

The anxiety that won’t switch off.

The habit you keep promising to stop.

The confidence that disappears when you need it.

You’ve tried to logic your way out and push your way through. It isn’t a character flaw.

It’s a pattern, and patterns can be changed at the level where they were built.

Welcome,

I see what’s running underneath. That’s where I work.

I’m Susan Hayden, a clinical hypnotherapist and RTT practitioner with over 30 years of one-to-one work. I hold a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy/Strategic Psychotherapy and trained in Rapid Transformational Therapy under Marisa Peer.

I don’t treat symptoms. I locate where the pattern started and change the response.

No generic scripts. Every session is built around your pattern: where it began and what it’s doing now.

A recording that carries the change. You leave with a personalised audio that reinforces it between sessions and after.

A straight answer on sessions. On your free call we map how many you need.

Bokarina or online. In person on the Sunshine Coast, or online worldwide.

How it works

1. A conversation. A free 15-minute call. We establish what’s running and whether this is the right fit.

2. The session. I guide you into hypnosis. You stay aware, you stay in control, and you remember everything. We locate where the pattern began, reprocess the emotional charge behind it, and install a response that fits who you are now.

3. The recording. You leave with a personalised audio to reinforce the change. Lasting change deepens with repetition.

Hypnotherapy FAQs

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients feel a shift after the first session. Some patterns resolve in one to three sessions, and complex ones take longer. We’ll map it out on your free call. I won’t overcommit you or underdeliver.

Will I remember what happens?

Yes. Hypnosis is a deeply focused state of awareness. You’re not unconscious, and you’re not out of control.

Is it safe?

Yes.

Hypnotherapy works alongside medical care and does not replace it. If you have a diagnosed mental health condition, speak with your doctor or treating team before booking.

Individual results vary.

Is online as effective as in person?

Yes.

All you need is a quiet space and a reliable internet connection.

A great option to reduce your travel time.

Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical treatment.

You’ve been managing long enough.

The pattern isn’t going to dissolve on its own. Awareness doesn’t break it.

More willpower won’t either.

What breaks it is going underneath — to where it was built.

That’s the work. And it starts with a conversation.

Clarity on what’s running and whether this is the right fit.

  I had every intention of needing to wait 21 days before coming to with words to do this testimonial justice, but I can’t wait any longer to start spreading the love!
I had a session specifically to target my debilitating anxiety, and I can genuinely say it has GONE! I left with the knowledge that I would be playing a recording of a portion of our session every day - at least once daily- for 21 days minimum, so it was in my head that I’d need that 3 weeks continuous replaying to drum in what had been done in our session for it to begin working.
I left feeling lighter, a free feeling I couldn’t put into words. It made me smile from my heart.
The very next day was a “trigger day” that I religiously would suffer with bad anxiety. I expected the anxiety to come on and as the minutes then hours then day went on I realised I wasn’t experiencing any. I don’t have words!!! The following week on the same day again, nothing!
I’ve had another 2 days since my session with huge triggers which would normally lead to complete meltdown- and NOTHING.
Anxiety is not something I have ever been able to control. I know how unpredictable it is and how uncontrollable it is when it is triggered. Yet now - all of a sudden- the switch is off and I apparently no longer suffer from anxiety!
Game Changer.
I’ll continue to enjoy listening to my recording for the 21 days - I find it fascinating that I heard different things that I didn’t remember hearing on the day of the RTT.
I can’t fathom how it is so successful- it’s miraculous!!!
Thank you, Katie :-)

  LIFE CHANGER

Having Rapid Transformational Therapy with Susan has been a life changer. For 27 years I have had an addiction to soft drink. I would drink soft drink like water. I could not control myself and continued drinking this daily as I could not stop. My mind was always telling me I needed soft drink to get through the day. It was my vice. If I needed a caffeine fix or sugar hit to get me through the day this is what I would drink. It was a bad bad addiction. Sometimes it would get so bad that I was having almost 2 litres a day. I would think just one more time and I will stop drinking it. Nope it never happened. I found Susan through a friend of mine who has had a Rapid Transformation Therapy session and she suggested I give it a try. Wow I can’t believe the immediate results after my session.

I tried so often over the years to not drink soft drink, but after having my Rapid Transformational Therapy session with Susan, it has changed my thought process and how I feel about seeing, buying and even drinking soft drink. I no longer crave soft drink on a daily basis. When I go to a store I no longer worry about going down the soft drink isle, as I don’t need to. I stopped purchasing soft drink for home the day I had my Rapid Transformational Therapy with Susan. I am in awe at how this has worked so fast and can say I am the happiest I have ever been.

My body thanks you!!!! My mindset thanks you !! I now am living a healthier and happier lifestyle and look forward to all the great experiences to come. I opened my mind to the Rapid Transformational Therapy and it has honestly saved me.

Thank you so much Susan for this amazing experience and your exceptional hospitality in making me feel welcome and at ease from the first phone call. You are amazing at what you do and I am keen to come back and tackle some other issues I have to make my life even better.

I highly recommend anyone to take the leap and have Rapid Transformational Therapy with Susan if you are suffering from any addiction.  This definitely works and I am a changed woman and soooo wish I had done it sooner :)

  I cannot recommend enough! I had a rapid transformational therapy session with Susan for anxiety about a month ago now. The session, in and of itself, held immense growth for me. Just understanding where my anxiety specifically stemmed from was something that shifted in me that day. That deeper understanding, coupled with Susan’s guidance in session, enabled me to release the foundations of the coping mechanism, whilst having compassion for myself in recognition of why my younger self had created it in the first place. That was all just within the session! From there, I was instructed to listen to a tailored to me hypnosis recording for the next 21 days.

I have experienced profound changes in my relationship with my anxiety! I am, quite simply, ready to face positive steps forward on my journey that I just wasn’t before the session. I am able to sit with my fear when it arises and observe it in order to allow it to pass through. I feel this is a direct result of the session and the month of listening to the recording. My life is expanding before my very eyes, it has enabled me to manifest opportunities that I am ready to say yes to. It has levelled up my belief in myself.

Susan creates a professional, very comfortable & safe space for the session. Her confidence in her skills and technique is evident from start to finish. She is able to guide you through the process with ease and grace. You can tell that she knows the process back to front and knows what needs to happen at every turn. This means you can just relax and allow yourself to surrender into the session.

I would recommend RTT with Susan for any changes you feel like you need to make in your life. If there is an area that you know is holding you back - commit to yourself and book in for this treatment. This is something that could really take you to the next level of your healing journey.

  I have struggled with my weight for my whole life, but in the last 5 years, I have gained a lot of weight and have struggled to shift it. A lot of this is to do with stress, grief and shift work and all of the bad habits I have picked up over time. Reaching for food, in particular sugar, as a way of filling any void or giving me a pick me up for shift work.

I had never heard of RTT before coming across Susan, and with anything new and unknown, there were a few nerves and uncertainties. However, from the very beginning, Susan’s wisdom and professionalism helped eased the nerves and answered any and all of the questions I had.

From the second Susan started the session, I was overwhelmed with calmness as I felt so safe and soothed by her voice. Handing my full trust to her. The session itself was phenomenal. It uncovered moments and events in my life that gave me so much clarity as to why I have been this way and formed these habits, and more importantly, it opened my eyes to feeling safe and secure to make changes.

The audio recording Susan prepares for you post session was like a 20 min meditation each day and I started looking forward to it each day. It now feels now feels like a little guardian angel inside my head, when I feel the craving for my sugar, I hear Susan’s voice in my head. I love it!

Do I still have cravings? Gosh yes! But since the RTT session, it’s like I now know why I have the cravings, and most importantly that I don’t need it. And the cravings are now becoming less and less frequent.

I honestly went in with no expectations and a very open mind - but I can one hundred percent say that my RTT session was incredible and has changed my life. I have not had processed sugar or chocolate since my RTT session with Susan (now 6 weeks). And I have dropped nearly 10kg.

I would hand on my heart recommend anyone to see Susan and experience and RTT session with her.

  I recently underwent an RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) Hypnotherapy session with Susan Hayden. She was so lovely and welcoming and she made me feel very at ease from the first phone call through to having the session with her. Susan had such a calming presence to her.
I had been wanting to explore help with weight loss as it's something I have gone up and down with my whole life and most recently caused by grief due to losing a loved one had me struggling again. I had been eating mostly right and I went into the session thinking maybe I needed to change some eating habits but the biggest thing that has been revealed to me has been that I needed to move more, plus move my snacking to during the day rather than at night. I used to exercise a lot more but the motivation had been lost since my loss. What Susan has done seems to have reminded my brain to want to move more. Sometimes I find myself getting dressed to go for a long walk without actually making a plan to do so! And it has been helping me feel energised and motivated. Listening to the Hypnotherapy recording that I received after the session has also had a really interesting affect on my sleep. It seems to calm my mind and I go to bed shortly after listening to it and I have been having the best sleep I've had in years which I hadn't been expecting. Although I had been eating mostly good foods it has also helped me stop and think about food choices and I'm reaching for a piece of fruit over other more calorie dense options.
I was so shocked in the first week after seeing Susan as I had lost 900 grams. And after 3 weeks I have lost 3.1kg! I am well on my way to losing my goal of 10kg in 6 months. I have always obsessed over weight loss due to being a dancer in my youth and I had asked Susan could we work on me not obsessing this time. To allow myself to lose the weight in a sensible time frame without the over thinking that I usually end up doing. I am now much more conscious of my thoughts. About the 2nd week in after the session I started to notice I was obsessing a little but then this time I was aware of the thoughts and was able to then stop myself.
The RTT session itself was so interesting and revealing to me. I can see why I have had this life long battle with my body image and weight. Susan helped me relax and it was very easy to be hypnotised. You never do or say anything you don't want to. It was a very relaxing experience too.
I would highly recommend RTT and Susan to anyone. I figured what did I have to lose and I have been so surprised at the results so far. Although weight loss has been my goal I am so grateful for what this has also done for my sleep and they do say a good sleep is linked to weight loss.
If you are thinking about giving it a try but are unsure I encourage you to give it a try as you have nothing to lose!

  What an amazing session!!!
I went to Susan to get help with my skin as I had psoriasis and it was affecting my quality of life in such a horrible way. I’d tried EVERYTHING!! I mean EVERYTHING!!!
We discovered the underlying cause was grief - it made soooo much sense!! We had the session and then I did the recording for 21 days but I saw results within the first 3 days of doing it!!! Honestly if you have an issue that you’re struggling to shift or can’t work out why you still have it when you’ve tried everything.
Do yourself a MASSIVE favour and book in!! I can now wear what I want without worrying about people asking what’s wrong with my skin.  It’s changed my life because I can finally wear the clothes I want to wear 💜
