Saturday face-to-face sessions in Launceston are available again this May.

Since posting about the May 3 session entry point, a number of people have clicked through.

That usually means something has landed.

And if you clicked, paused, and did nothing yet, that makes sense.

Most men do not reach out because everything is falling apart. They reach out when the same pattern keeps showing up and they know it is time to do something with it.

You do not need the perfect words.

You might just know you have been stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, avoiding a decision, shutting down under pressure, or feeling the gap between how you want to show up and how things actually play out.

That is enough to begin.

For May, I am offering a small number of Saturday face-to-face appointments in Launceston:

3 sessions for $400
Usually $600

Across the three sessions, we slow down what needs slowing down, sharpen what has been avoided, and build steadier follow-through in the places that matter: decisions, relationships, pressure, and s*x.

There is no judgement in the work. Just a clear focus on helping you feel more settled, more responsive, and more able to act from steadiness instead of the old pattern.

By the end of the three sessions, most men have a clearer sense of what has been getting in the way and what the next step needs to be.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind, this is a simple place to start.

Send through a couple of Saturday times that suit you in May. Enquiring does not lock you into anything. It just opens the door to working out the next step.

With Justine Lette – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

03/05/2026

Thank you to everyone who sent such generous messages after my Simpson Protocol accreditation.

I’m genuinely grateful for the warmth and encouragement. This next layer of training is a significant addition to my work in clinical hypnotherapy and supervision, and I look forward to bringing it into sessions with care, precision and respect.

For anyone who has been quietly considering working with me, either as a client or supervisee, this may be a useful moment to make contact, ask what you need to ask, and see whether the fit feels right.

I'm proud to announce my achievement as a Certified Simpson Protocol Practitioner, made possible by the invaluable support and mentorship of Australia/NZ trainer Justine Lette and the trans Tasman SP community.

Saturday face-to-face sessions in Launceston return this May.

I work with men who are stuck in their head, second-guessing decisions, or feeling the gap between how they want to show up and how they actually do.

Working in person lets us get straight to what matters. We slow things down where needed, sharpen decisions where they’ve been avoided, and build follow-through that holds under pressure, in relationships, and in your s*x life. There’s no judgement here, just a clear focus on what works. Often, that includes reconnecting with a steadier sense of what to do next, especially when your head has been getting in the way.

To mark the return, I am offering a small number of Saturday appointments in May:

3 sessions for $400 (usually $600).

This is an entry point into the work. A way to begin, get clear on what’s actually going on, and start building momentum you can carry forward. This follows the same structure I use in my ongoing client work.

Across these sessions, the focus is practical and direct:

• making clear decisions without looping
• holding your ground without shutting down or overreacting
• feeling more settled and responsive in your body, including during s*x.

Once this begins, it tends to carry forward into how you handle pressure, make decisions, and show up with others. From there, you’ll have a clearer sense of what’s next and whether to continue.

If you’ve been meaning to address this, this gives you a clear starting point.

From there, it’s usually just a matter of choosing a time and beginning.

There is a point after a conference where the work either settles… or slips.

Most clinicians know the moment.

You are back in the room. A male client sits in front of you. He speaks well, functions well… and nothing quite shifts. The session moves, but it does not deepen. You can feel there is more there, without a clear way in.

That is the gap this Thursday is built for.

Not a repeat. The part that makes it usable.

We take the hero’s journey and place it directly into session flow with men. A structure that meets presentation, builds movement, and holds the work steady when reflection alone does not open things up.
You leave with something that shows up in that moment.
Not more to remember. Something you notice yourself doing.

A number of places have already been taken.

If it has come to mind more than once, that usually tells you where this sits.

At this point, it becomes a familiar professional decision. Leave it as insight, or find yourself meeting the same moment with a client next week, knowing there is more there and still searching for a way in.

Or install it, so when that moment comes, you notice yourself stepping in cleanly, and the session begins to move.

Thank you for the support and thoughtful messages here, particularly around my first international conference presentation in Aotearoa New Zealand. I have appreciated how people have engaged here.

This page is where I share more of my clinical work, reflections, and upcoming events, so if you have found yourself returning here or pausing with what is shared, you may notice it becomes a steady place to stay connected over time.

A meaningful milestone this weekend.

On Saturday afternoon, I delivered my first international conference presentation in Aotearoa New Zealand at the NZ Hypnosis Conference. It felt important to contribute this work into an international clinical conversation, bringing clinical insights developed in Tasmania into that space.

Justine Lette created a conference that brought together thoughtful, skilled practitioners from across Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and the USA. The care and intent behind that was clear.

It was a privilege to share my ongoing clinical work with men through the Hero’s Journey as a clinical metaphor in hypnotherapy. The focus was on men who struggle to access and express their feelings, and who can sit at the edge of change despite insight.

There is something grounding about speaking into a room where people are not just listening for ideas, but for what is clinically useful and transferable into real work with clients.

Those threads will continue in a dedicated webinar on 16 April for conference attendees. It feels like a natural extension of what began here.

I’ve really appreciated the conversations, the openness, and the shared commitment to doing this work well.

For some time, I have been sitting with a question in my work with men: what happens when insight is present, yet change does not follow?

Late this month I will be in Auckland presenting at the Hypnosis NZ Conference on how the Hero’s Journey can function as a structured therapeutic pathway within hypnotherapy rather than a storytelling device. Used carefully, it provides containment, settles shame and allows movement without threatening competence. It also changes how I structure induction and shape suggestions in trance so that insight translates into behavioural follow-through.

Many of the men I see are thoughtful and professionally capable. They can describe their patterns clearly, yet momentum stalls. Over time, I have found that what is often missing is not understanding, but structure.

This work is shaping both the presentation and the way I structure sessions here at home.

After the conference, I will offer a live online webinar for clinical hypnotherapists who would like to explore the framework further. Details will follow.

It is a privilege to contribute beyond Tasmania and to bring that learning back into the consulting room.

If this resonates, I would be interested in what you have noticed in your own work or life.
