At Life Vision Marriage Counselling and Quit With Hypnotherapy, we care for your health and well-being, both in the immediate and the long term, it's our primary focus!

Given the announcement today by the Premier of the Victorian State Government, as Mental Health Counselling and Hypnotherapy Practitioners, we have not received clarity from DHHS as to whether or not we can resume with face-to-face counselling or hypnotherapy, using strict hygiene and social distancing measures as outlined in our COVID Safe Plan.

We are monitoring announcements from DHHS to ascertain when we will be able to resume COVID safe, Face-to-Face therapy, as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, to ensure your relationship counselling or hypnosis therapy remains uninterrupted, we continue to provide Online Video Conferencing using Zoom, a safe, secure and encrypted service or alternatively mobile phone conferencing using 'merge call' when we are working with couples.

This enables us to continue to progress your counselling or hypnosis therapy, whilst protecting your health and well-being, without disruption and we will share any necessary documents with you via email.

We appreciate that in this challenging time counselling, or hypnotherapy, can assist with maintaining your mental health and wellbeing, as well as improving and strengthening your relationship.

Online counselling via secure video conferencing or mobile telephone services provides immediate or same day access to expert, effective counselling help, without having to leave your home or office.
​Research shows that in expert hands, online counselling is just as effective as face-to-face counselling, and patient outcomes are identical to those for conventional therapy.

Studies also show that counselling therapy helps by lowering your cortisol, heart rate and blood pressure. This combines to support your sympathetic nervous system to remain calm during stressful times. Additionally we teach you lifelong skills that can help you maintain your health and well-being.

The team at Life Vision and Quit With Hypnotherapy are committed to providing our clients with ongoing support and service, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out by contacting us on 0422416894.

Anxious Australians are buying toilet paper to deal with their worries about Corona Virus (COVID-19) but they should be considering other ways to relieve their stress.

Vision of Aussies scrambling over each other to panic-buy multi-packs of toilet paper has been beamed across the world, leaving many puzzled.

​So why are Australians panicking?

“Research shows that in capitalist cultures like Australia, you deal with problems by buying things, Through times of trouble we are encouraged to spend our way out of it.” explains Dr Paul Harrison, a human behaviour expert at Deakin University. He says in general humans are drawn to “simple answers” in times of crisis i.e. “Coronavirus is an abstract problem, with an unclear effect and it’s unfolding minute-by-minute, Humans struggle with nuance and unclear outcomes and research shows that when people feel like they have lost control, they tend to be drawn to small things that they can control. In Australia we are constantly told that we can solve problems by buying things, and research shows that buying utilitarian items such as toilet paper and cleaning products can rebalance that sense of lack of control.”

If your anxiety and stress is out of control ... or becoming a problem for members of your family or friends, please contact us for professional counselling support.
