About
In my early twenties, hypnotherapy helped me to find closure to some issues that I had been carrying with me since childhood. Through hypnotherapy, I found the strength to focus on the present and to create a better future for myself. This experience has motivated me to establish Mount Martha Hypnotherapy.
I am a qualified social worker with over ten years experience working with children, from newborn to young adults, in hospitals, childcare centres and as a private nanny.
I am insured and registered with the Australian Association of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy (AACHP) https://www.aachp.com/. This means I undergo monthly supervision and engage in continuous training seminars and workshops, which helps me to work to the highest possible standard.
I am also registered with the Hypnotherapy Council of Australia (HCA) which confirms that I have undergone government accredited training and fulfil all the requirements to work ethically and safely to the highest possible standard.
My hypnotherapy training was with the Institute of Applied Psychology (IAP). I work with a modern Ericksonian approach, the most advanced and empirical evidence-based approach available today. I have undergone additional training for chronic pain management and insomnia with hypnotherapists from the US and Europe.
Your hypnosis sessions will be specifically tailored to your situation and your personal needs.
Privately, I am a mother of two grown-up sons and wife to my husband Mark.
I would feel privileged to assist you on your journey back to emotional health and regaining control of your life.
Testimonials
“My teenage son was struggling terribly with anxiety and started to refuse to go to school. After just 2 sessions with Carolin he started to believe in himself again. EFT tapping as a self-help tool to overcome unhelpful thoughts and feelings to be able to lead a happier, calmer life without anxiety has been beneficial for our whole family” -Tammy
“On a recent visit to Australia I had the pleasure of meeting Carolin and was given hypnotherapy by her for my anxiety and also tapping techniques. It has helped me so much to understand how the mind works and you can overcome those real anxious moments using these methods. She is so professional and I would recommend her to all mental health sufferers, again Carolin thank you so much.” -Des
“Carolin provided the most calm, safe and open environment for my daughter to help with her dog phobia. She took time to explain along the way what she was doing, showing that she had a keen understanding of children and totally acknowledged and respected where my daughter was at.
Carolin's knowledge and her willingness to share this knowledge, as well as tips and meditations to assist my daughter as she worked through her phobia, was so incredibly helpful. My daughter's phobia symptoms have reduced greatly and we are so grateful for the expertise that Carolin provided. She has a beautiful way of working, and I would not hesitate to go back to her for any anxiety related issues. Highly recommended.” -Melissa
“Carolin introduced me to a new way of thinking and understanding. Her gentle and non judgemental disposition provides a safe place to explore and find healing from deep hurts, anxiety and misinformed beliefs. This counselling skill category must be included in mainstream medicine, where it can be part of the support of a person’s healing and recovery, including people suffering from PTSD. I would highly recommend anyone to take the time to speak with Carolin. She has turned my thinking around and I am truly grateful. I will be booking in again soon. Thanks so much Carolin.” - Elke
“Two hypnotherapy sessions with Carolin enabled me to get on a plane and travel to Europe without any panic or anxiety last year. I would start with sweaty palms on the drive to the airport then panic about not being able to get a deep breath and being unable to get any fresh air and being enclosed in that small space. I have always had prescription drugs, aromatherapy oils and guided meditations on my ipod to get me through the interstate flights I was taking each year. The Europe flight was long but I felt comfortable and at ease all the way there and back and I have no fears about doing that haul again. I have recently taken a domestic flight to the Gold Coast without any fear or anxieties. I also believe that these sessions have also helped keep my anxiety in check with all the uncertainty that is happening in our world with the COVID-19 virus.” —Kat
“I found Carolin highly professional and supportive. I felt very safe, listened to and cared for.
Carolin gave me the techniques and tools that have made an enormous positive difference in my well being.
I would highly recommend Carolin.” -Dennis
“A friend suggested I visit a hypnotherapist to help deal with anxiety issues. I was open to at least trying another approach. Carolin was a caring, attentive listener who was very professional at all times. She was able to talk through situations that caused me anxiety and present me with a variety of practical strategies to put in place if required in the future.
The hypnosis component was a new experience for me. But I was in control the whole time and could have stopped at any point in the process. Carolin records and gives you a copy of the session to replay at home in your own time. I would not hesitate to encourage anyone with anxiety issues to at least try a session with Carolin. “ -Trish
“I consulted Carolin for support with some issues to do with family relationships that had been troubling me for years. Her calm, kind, empathetic and professional manner put me at ease and the sessions I had with her helped me immensely in dealing with my past. I highly recommend her hypnotherapy service”. —Raymond
“I just wanted to say thank you so much Carolin, for your help with my daughter C. As you know she had trichotillomania where she pulled out her eyelashes and eyebrows due to anxiety. After one session with you, she never felt the urge again to pull out her lashes or brows, and they are now growing back beautifully which gives her so much confidence especially at a time where she was starting high school. After the hypnotherapy session, she listened to the recording of that session for a few nights which she found very relaxing too which really helped her sleep. I cannot recommend you highly enough. Thank you so much for helping my daughter, it really means so much to us. Forever grateful.” - Alison
“I sought the help from Carolin at Mount Martha Hypnotherapy at a time that I was feeling very overwhelmed and anxious, I had recently returned to work after eight months of maternity leave and I was struggling with adapting to this new way of life. Carolin was amazing to talk to and her Hypnotherapy practices gave me effective strategies in challenging my own thoughts and anxieties. I would definitely recommend Carolin’s Hypnotherapy services, I will be a returning client!” —Kathryn
“I just received the results of a liver test and they have dropped back by around 50% which means they are now pretty well normal. This is massive for me after 40 odd years of drinking every day. I have had a couple of drinks in a social situation and again really great result -I have been able to stop rather than drink on. I am amazed at the results and how easy it has been on this journey. I truly believe that you and the hypnosis and tapping have changed my life. So glad I met and worked with you.” - Liz
“Following my sessions with Carolin, I've noticed a huge change in my mindset as I approach everything. No longer do I have to bribe myself to do things; I now just "do" and revel in the feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing tasks and projects way before the deadline hits!” - Nicole
“Our teenagers have both had sessions with Carolin and I was so impressed I also booked myself in for a consult. I was surprised how easily Carolin connected with our teens and built a really strong bond from the moment she welcomed them with her warm smile. Carolin is passionate about her work and very relatable with her empathetic approach. She listens and talks through strategies, which our teenagers found extremely empowering. We all walked away after each session feeling a little lighter and our minds a lot less cluttered. We will continue to see Carolin on our journey, I couldn't recommend her highly enough. - Amanda
“I found Mount Martha Hypnotherapy using a Google search. As soon as I spoke to Carolin on the phone I knew that she could help me! And indeed she did, and at a very reasonable cost too! If you want someone who will listen patiently and actually give you answers and a real way of dealing with it, Carolin is the person for you!” -David
“I can not express enough how much of a positive impact you have made upon my life. The hypnotherapy and the tapping have given me the tools to get a better understanding of my triggers for my anxiety and to lower my anxiety levels before they become fully fledged attacks.
I always felt very comfortable, supported, and that my feelings and they way I processed information where never judged but accepted.
It wasn't just the one issue but many you helped me to work through and I can't recommend you enough. I will forever be grateful.
Thank you so much” - Katherine
“Carolin’s service and help was amazing! I was pretty nervous at first but Carolin was great to talk to. She provided all types of suggestions for me to implement and think about, especially in regards to my negative thoughts. The actual hypnotherapy was very relaxing for me but at the same time extremely beneficial in helping me to understand Carolin’s suggestions and also form my own twist on things. I would highly recommend this service! Carolin really helped me to find more confidence in myself and to be able to handle my anxiety.” - high school student

“I was very fortunate to meet Carolin who became a vital professional and key support in my recovery process.I had never visited a hypnotherapist prior but with an open mind and hopeful heart I began seeing her regularly I was searching for answers searching to find myself again and Carolin helped me to make sense of my thoughts clear my mind and learn to develop the skills and insight into recognising understanding and developing the practises/skills I needed to build a solid foundation on which my life could move forward .It didn't happen overnight but gradually I began to see through the fog and use the practises taught to help settle the mind and see the possibilities .Carolin is a very grounded lady she is open non judgemental insightful calm and supportive .She listens but hears you she shares her self and her experiences with you .I cannot recommend Carolin highly enough she helped make sense of things when I couldn't do it for myself she was always sending through relevant information additional teachings to view/listen to ,she always cared about how I was going and always took an interest beyond what was expected.If you need a supportive professional that goes above and beyond then Carolin is the person to contact Many thanks and forever grateful.” -retiree
“Wow is all I can say!! I can confidently say Carolin has in more ways than one helped me heal and overcome mental challenges just from two sessions. The strategies are clear, concise and extremely effective. I would recommend Carolin to anyone!!” - Brandon
“After years of suffering from enormous back pain due to a prolapsed disc, I have learnt from Carolin in 3 sessions, how, when working with the body-mind connection in pain management, I can let my mind know, that I no longer need to have the pain message from the brain, because I already know what the damage is. I can now choose to feel only a sensation to help me move correctly and to avoid further damage, but I no longer need to feel the pain. With the learnt self-hypnosis techniques, I can now switch the pain off completely, if I want to. I am very grateful to Carolin for helping me regain my quality of life, allowing me to do the things I love to do again.” - Julia
“Carolin is an experienced professional hypnotherapist. I found her to be very attentive with a solutions focussed approach to allow me to make the breakthroughs I was looking for. I would not hesitate to recommend.” - Val
“One session and my life has changed for the better already. Carolin, you are amazing and I’m so grateful. I can only imagine what regular practice and more sessions with you will lead to, and I’m excited and hopeful for the first time, in a long time. I can’t thank you enough!” -Alicia
“I cannot recommend Carolin highly enough. She is an extremely skilled hypnotherapist who effortlessly puts you at ease. Carolin individually tailors your session to provide the most beneficial experience. I felt an enormous relief from stress and tension after just our first session and this continued as I practised during the following week. My sleep and anxiety have improved more than I would have believed and I am so much calmer in myself in just two wonderfully releasing sessions.” - Karen
