HYPNOTHERAPY AT NEKAWA
Trauma-informed hypnotherapy · Online via Zoom · In-person in Whanganui & Auckland
Wherever you are, you can access professional hypnotherapy through secure online Zoom sessions, or attend in person at the NEKAWA clinics in Whanganui and Auckland.
At NEKAWA, hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind and nervous system, supporting clarity, emotional regulation, and meaningful internal change. Sessions are personalised, unhurried, and guided with care — allowing space for insight, regulation, and integration, rather than simply managing symptoms.
Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as in-person work, and many clients find they feel more relaxed and receptive when working from their own space.
If you’re unsure whether hypnotherapy is the right starting point, you’re welcome to begin with a complimentary 15-minute consultation to explore how NEKAWA works and whether this approach feels appropriate for you.
A Grounded, Trauma-Informed Approach to Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to work with internal patterns that influence how we think, feel, and respond.
At NEKAWA, hypnotherapy is practised with depth, respect, and nervous-system awareness. Sessions are not rushed or prescriptive. Instead, they are shaped around your readiness, your experience, and what your system needs in that moment.
This approach is suitable whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or ready to create change from a deeper, more sustainable level.
How Hypnotherapy Works
Hypnotherapy works by guiding attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the subconscious mind to become more receptive. From this calm, focused state, patterns, beliefs, emotional responses, and internal blocks can be explored and gently reshaped.
Many clients describe hypnotherapy as:
-
calming and grounding
-
insightful without being overwhelming
-
subtle yet deeply impactful
There is no loss of control. You remain present, aware, and engaged throughout the session. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention — similar to daydreaming, creative flow, or becoming absorbed in music or a story.
You do not need to know exactly what you want to work on before you begin. Clarity often unfolds through the process itself.
Ways to Work Together

What Hypnotherapy Can Support
People seek hypnotherapy for many different reasons. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, this work supports the internal states and patterns that shape how we experience life.
Hypnotherapy may be supportive if you are experiencing:
-
ongoing stress, nervous system overload, or emotional tension
-
feeling stuck in patterns that don’t shift through logic alone
-
heightened emotional or physical responses that feel automatic
-
difficulty settling, switching off, or feeling at ease
-
self-doubt, internal conflict, or reduced confidence
-
challenges with focus, clarity, or decision-making
-
life transitions, identity shifts, or periods of uncertainty
-
a sense of disconnection from yourself or your body
Sessions are tailored to the individual and work gently with the subconscious and nervous system, allowing insight, regulation, and change to emerge at a pace that feels safe and appropriate.
A Gentle Note on Ongoing Support
Some clients choose to continue into more structured or integrative support after hypnotherapy sessions. This is always discussed collaboratively and only if it feels appropriate and aligned.
There is no obligation to commit beyond each session.
