Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
Living with HIV comes with a weight that goes far beyond the physical. The appointments, the medication, the stigma, the worry. It's easy to feel like the virus has become your identity,like every ache, every glance, every concern circles back to it. But you are so much more than a lab result.
Hypnotherapy offers a space where you are seen completely,not just as a patient, but as a person. Together, we quiet the anxiety, release the shame, and reconnect you with the parts of you that have nothing to do with your status. You are still here. You still matter. You still deserve peace.
Your body carries a virus. Your spirit carries infinite worth.

11 Years Experience
Online in Canberra, ACT Australian Capital Territory
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.
