Nina Dewar, MA, Clinical Hypnotherapist
I am passionate about helping people to make positive, lasting changes and supporting them to live the life that they really want for themselves. I am a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist having studied at the Academy of Hypnotic Science in Melbourne, the biggest government accredited training provider for Clinical Hypnotherapy.
My aim as a therapist is to create a safe, confidential and calm space to explore and work through issues like anxiety, stress, grief, depression, habit control, disordered eating patterns, stopping smoking and vaping and to support my clients change and transform.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Gut-Directed Hypnotherapist at the Functional Gut Disorders Clinic at The Alfred Hospital, embedded within a multidisciplinary team of doctors, dietitians, and psychologists. I deliver evidence-based hypnotherapy within a specialist hospital setting.
My approach is holistic – I am very interested in the mind body connection – and individualistic – I tailor my approach to suit each client according to their presenting issues and personality. I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and in Strategic Psychotherapy (Human Givens approach).
Hypnosis can help you make the changes that you desire on a deeper, subconscious level and enable you to take control of your life and create the life that you have imagined.
