Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
Gaslighting. Manipulation. The constant questioning of your reality. Emotional abuse doesn't just hurt in the moment, it plants a voice inside your head that sounds like them, telling you you're wrong, crazy, or too much. And now, you don't even trust yourself anymore.
Hypnotherapy helps you find your way back to you. In a deeply supportive space, we quiet the internalized critic and reconnect you with your own intuition, your own truth, your own voice. The one that knew all along.
You can trust yourself again.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Emotional abuse often goes unnamed for a long time, particularly when it sits inside otherwise functional relationships, families, or workplaces. People arrive describing themselves as confused rather than hurt, questioning whether what they have experienced was bad enough to count. The work begins with making sense of what happened, recovering trust in your own perception, and addressing the longer effects on identity, self-worth, and relationships. It is paced to your readiness, not to a treatment timeline.

Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital city and home to the federal public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including burnout, moral injury, and careers lived in close proximity to political power. The city has the highest median income and education level of any Australian capital, with a population generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Canberra Hospital provides institutional mental health services alongside a well-established private practice community serving the inner south, Belconnen, and Tuggeranong. A recurring theme across many Canberra practices is the tension between personal values and the constraints of institutional work — a dynamic that cuts across much of the city's therapy culture.
