Hypnotherapist Sunshine Coast
You Already Know That
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.
That’s a sign you’ve been
working on the surface.
Real change lives underneath.
That’s where we work. You’re not broken.
You’re running an outdated program.
The anxiety that won’t switch off.
The habit you keep promising to stop.
The confidence that disappears right when you need it most.
The compulsion that comes back no matter how hard you try.
You’ve probably tried to logic your way out. Willpower your way through.
Maybe you have convinced yourself that..
This is just who you are?
It’s not -It’s a pattern.
Patterns can be changed.
Not managed. Not coped with.
CHANGED – at the level where they were built.

Hypnotherapy to STOP Addictions
or Unwanted Habits.
Smoking. Drinking. Sugar. Gambling. Scrolling.
These aren't failures.
They're programs written by a nervous system that was just trying to survive.
Willpower works on the surface. This lives deeper.
When you change what's running underneath, the behaviour stops making sense to your brain.
That's not discipline. That's rewiring.

Hypnotherapy to Overcome Anxiety And Fears
Your brain isn't broken. It's running a very old program.
The constant scanning, bracing, waiting for something to go wrong — that's not who you are. It's what your nervous system learned to do. And what it learned, it can also unlearn.

Hypnotherapy for Compulsive & Unwanted Behaviours.
The behaviour isn't the problem.
It's the solution your brain won't let go of.
Checking, avoiding, controlling, overindulging —
It's not a weakness. It's a loop. And loops have an entry point. That's exactly where we work.

Hypnotherapy To Improve Self-Confidence and Self-Belief.
Your beliefs about yourself
aren't the truth.
They're conclusions your brain
drew a long time ago —
and has been running on ever since.
When the subconscious belief shifts, everything built on top of it shifts too.
You don't find self-belief. You uncover it.
I’m Susan Hayden — Clinical Hypnotherapist and RTT Practitioner on the Sunshine Coast, with over 30 years of experience working one-to-one with clients.
I see what’s running underneath. That’s where I work.
I work with the high-functioning person who looks capable from the outside but is exhausted on the inside. Overthinking. Over-giving. Over-performing. And still questioning themselves.
I know that space. And I know it’s not a character flaw — it’s a subconscious program that’s been running too long.
I completed a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy/Strategic Psychotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) under Marisa Peer. My work is direct, intentional, and precise. I don’t treat symptoms. I locate the origin of the pattern, dismantle it, and recalibrate your response.
When the subconscious shifts, behaviour follows. Every time.

Where do you need to break the pattern?
Why hypnotherapy works when nothing else has.
You can’t think your way out of a thinking problem.
You can’t willpower your way out of a subconscious belief.
You can’t out-logic a loop that doesn’t live in logic.
Hypnotherapy goes to where the pattern actually lives — the subconscious mind. The part that controls over 90% of your behaviour. Not your intentions. Not your logic. Your automatic, deeply wired responses.
In a Theta brainwave state, your subconscious becomes accessible. We locate the origin of the belief or behaviour, reprocess the emotional charge behind it, and install a response that actually fits who you are now.
The result isn’t motivation. It isn’t willpower.It’s alignment — between what you consciously want and what your subconscious is actually running.
When that gap closes, everything changes.

Hypnotherapist FAQs
What is the success rate of Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is safe, natural, and non-invasive, with a success rate of over 90% (after an average of 6 sessions) compared to traditional talk therapy. Most of my clients have experienced radical change after the first sessions.
Is Hypnotherapy effective for breaking habits like smoking and drinking?
YES! Hypnotherapy targets the underlying mental and emotional patterns, helping you overcome unhealthy, self-sabotaging habits so you can regain control of your life.
How can Hypnotherapy help with anxiety and stress?
Hypnotherapy addresses the core subconscious patterns behind anxiety and stress. This will help you feel more relaxed, in control of your thoughts, and emotionally balanced.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
Most clients feel a significant shift after one session. Some patterns resolve in one to three sessions. Other complex patterns may take more. We will discuss what’s realistic for your specific situation in your free call — I won’t overcommit you or underdeliver.
Can Hypnotherapy assist with weight issues like emotional eating?
Yes! Hypnotherapy can help reframe limiting beliefs and emotional triggers behind eating habits. New beliefs have the ability to empower you for lasting changes. You can feel at peace with your body.
How Does RTT Work?
During your RTT session, you are guided into a deeply focused state of awarness-hypnosis, where your mind can safely access the subconscious patterns driving your habits, anxiety, or blocks. In this Theta brainwave state, you can recreate the core pattern causing the problem – so your beliefs align with who you want to be.
Your subconscious mind is powerful.
What becomes possible when the pattern breaks?
Cravings reduce — not through force, but because the underlying need is gone.
Anxiety settles — not managed, but dismantled at the source.
Confidence stabilises — not performed, but genuine.
Self-trust returns — because the old evidence no longer holds.
Most clients notice a shift after the first session. Some are done in one. Your timeline depends on your pattern — and we’ll map that out together in your free consultation.
Why Choose Susan Hayden Hypnotherapist Sunshine Coast?
This isn’t talk therapy. It’s not motivation. It’s recalibration.
Most approaches work on the conscious mind — the 10% that knows what to do but can’t seem to do it.
Hypnotherapy and RTT work on the other 90%. The part that actually runs your behaviour. The part that doesn’t respond to reason — only to rewiring.
In a session, we go underneath the symptom — to the original moment your nervous system decided this was how it would survive. We don’t relive it. We update it.
When that shifts, the craving loses its charge. The anxiety settles. The compulsion stops making sense. The old belief no longer fits.
Not because you worked harder. Because the program changed.
You’ll also receive a personalised audio recording to reinforce the shift — because lasting change doesn’t happen in a single moment. It deepens with repetition.

BREAK The Patterns Running Your Life
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.
Book your free consultation. Clarity on what’s running and whether this is the right fit.

Posted on Caleb Langelaan Highly recommend Susan. Very professional, relaxing environment and Susan knows her stuff.Posted on Simon Read Susan Hayden is an exceptional hypnotherapist. She is very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Her workspace is welcoming and comfortable, making me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. I felt I was in good hands with her and highly recommend her services.Posted on Maree Gallagher 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 :-)Posted on Melanie Appleby 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 :)Posted on Lexie Farrell 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.Posted on Yani Amina 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.Posted on Christie-Lee Lachance 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!Posted on Julie Smith Wow! I've been a smoker for 40+ years and have had many failed attempts to stop. After a session with Susan and RTT i haven't had a ciggy since .I was doubtful at first but it was easy wished I gone down this path a long time ago!Posted on Lexy Moore 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 💜Posted on Jennifer Thunder Susan was very welcoming & very understanding, I felt very comfortable with Susan. This was my first time exploring RTT & I can honestly say as the days go I’m noticing more & more the positive changes weaving their way into my life. Thank you Susan

The Pattern Underneath Is Running Everything
The patterns running your life weren’t born with you. They were built — in childhood, in moments that felt defining, in decisions your younger self made just to survive.
And they’ve been running on autopilot ever since. Fuelling the anxiety. The compulsions. The self-doubt. The cycles that keep repeating no matter how much you’ve tried to change them.
With hypnotherapy and RTT, we go straight to the source — locate the origin, release the charge, and install a response that fits who you actually are. Not who you learned to be.
The past doesn’t change. Your relationship to it does. And that changes everything.
