Something brought you here…
You've tried everything and still find yourself repeating the same patterns
You feel everything so intensely that it is exhausting to be you
You keep going for the same people in relationships and ending up heartbroken
You people-please, over-give, and do everything for everyone, then resent every single one of them
You don't feel safe in your body, and you're not sure you ever have
You don't know who you are beneath all of it
There is nothing wrong with you.
Your system has adapted to keep you safe.
You are not broken.
Your body is trying to protect you. Your nervous system was designed to keep you safe.
What you are experiencing is often the natural result of unprocessed stress, emotions, and past experiences that have been stored within the body.
From early childhood experiences, relationship dynamics, grief, or periods of overwhelm, your nervous system adapts in order to protect you. This process happens automatically, without any conscious input.
But over time, these adaptations can begin to feel like:
chronic anxiety or emotional overwhelm
people-pleasing, over-giving, shape-shifting, or difficulty saying no
recurring relationship patterns that feel impossible to break
disconnection from yourself — numbness, flatness, or a sense of just going through the motions
chronic fatigue, pain, sleep issues, or physical tension
the feeling that even when life looks fine from the outside, something feels deeply wrong
Even when you understand these patterns intellectually, even when you can trace them back to their root, they can still feel impossible to shift.
This is not a failure of willpower, intelligence, or self-awareness. This is how the nervous system works. And it is exactly what hypnotherapy is designed to reach.
So, what is Hypnotherapy and why does it work when other things haven’t?
Hypnotherapy works at the level where these patterns are created, deep within the subconscious mind and the nervous system.
Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness where the mind becomes more receptive to new learning. It is our innate healing and creative capacity.
Similar to the space between waking and sleep, or the absorption you feel when you're lost in a film or a memory. It is not mind control. You are always aware, always in choice.
In this state:
the analytical, thinking mind softens
the body begins to feel safe
deeper emotional patterns become accessible
Rather than analysing the problem and hoping insight will be enough, hypnotherapy works with the part of you that drives the automatic responses in the first place. The part of you that understands something in your body long before your mind catches up.
This is why people who have spent years in talk therapy often find hypnotherapy to be the missing piece, not because the previous work was wrong, but because this goes somewhere that talking alone cannot reach.
Rather than forcing change, we create the conditions where your nervous system can begin to reorganise itself naturally. Through awareness, openness, and compassion.
I work with individuals who are ready to explore their inner-world with depth, safety, and curiosity.
Every session begins with a conversation. I listen to everything: the words you use, the way your voice shifts, what you say and what you don't.
From there, we move into the trance work — a deeply relaxed state where your subconscious mind becomes receptive to new learning. This is where I work with the emotional memory, beliefs, and nervous system patterns that have been shaping your responses.
My approach draws from clinical hypnotherapy, Jungian depth psychology, somatic awareness, neuroscience, and yogic philosophy. In the room, none of this is separate — it moves intuitively with whoever is in front of me. No scripts. No pre-written protocols.
There is no DSM here. No diagnosis. No profile to fit you into. You are a human being, and I will meet you as one.
I can support you through:
Emotional connection, expression, and processing
Trauma integration and shadow work
Sleep issues, fatigue, and inflammation
Connecting with your inner-guidance system
Discovery and connection to your true-self
Anxiety, phobias, and anxiety-disorders
Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders
I can support you through:
Addictions and behavioural change
Creative blocks and disconnection from intuition
Navigating life as a highly sensitive person
Relationship conflict or inner-conflict
Deep sadness, grief, and life dissatisfaction
Healing through dream work, internal imagery, and intuition

About Prue Walmsley
I'm Prue — a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychology student, and devoted yogi based in Brisbane. I came to this work through my own profound experience of transformation, and I bring that understanding into every session I hold. The most important thing I know is that real change doesn't happen in the mind alone, it happens when the body finally feels safe enough to let go.

Client Testimonials
“I highly recommend Prue as a hypnotherapist. She was very professional, but without making our sessions feel clinical and stale. She had a warm and calming manner, which made me feel comfortable immediately. I really appreciated how personalised her approach felt, didn't feel like she was just following a script or ticking check boxes. She is clearly very knowledgeable about her work and techniques and was able to adapt to how I was feeling in each session and changes in my situation over time. My sessions with Prue have been very beneficial and I'm really grateful - thanks, Prue!”
— T“Working with Prue was such a calming and supportive experience. She really helped me reconnect with my body and regulate my nervous system in a way I hadn’t been able to before. I came to her for help with my bladder pain, and I noticed a big improvement after our sessions.
What surprised me most was how safe and at ease I felt - her approach is gentle, intuitive, and grounding. I was also surprised that connecting to my body was exactly what my bladder needed to ease the pain. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.”
— J“Prue’s presence is so warm, it instantly comforts and relaxes you. I felt so safe to deeply immerse myself into her transformative healing sessions.”
— KQuestions people often ask before they reach out…
-
Yes. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused awareness — similar to daydreaming or the relaxed state just before sleep. You are always conscious, always in control. You cannot be made to do anything against your will. There are no side effects. Most people leave sessions feeling calm, clear, and lighter.
-
Yes. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people come to see me. We work with both the cognitive patterns that fuel anxiety and the nervous system responses that keep it alive in the body. Many clients experience significant relief within their first few sessions.
-
Often, yes because hypnotherapy works at a different level. Talk therapy engages the conscious, analytical mind. Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious patterns and nervous system responses that are driving your experience beneath the level of thought. Many of my clients have spent years in therapy before working with me, and find that this reaches something that talking alone could not.
-
It usually feels like a deeply relaxing meditation — you are aware, you can hear everything I am saying, and you can open your eyes at any point you choose. Most people describe it as one of the most peaceful states they have ever been in. There is nothing dramatic or unusual about it. It is simply your mind and body entering a state of deep rest, where change becomes possible.
-
I practice in person at Bardon Counselling & Natural Therapies Centre in Brisbane on Wednesdays, and at Indigo Soul Wellness in Yeronga on Fridays. Online sessions are available to clients across Australia.
-
This depends entirely on what you are working through. Some people experience significant shifts in 3 sessions. Others work with me for 6 months or more. I recommend starting with a minimum of 6 sessions to give the work enough depth and time to take root. We discuss this together on your discovery call.
