The clinic provides psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, and welcomes private and NDIS clients.
Hello and welcome. I’m Kathryn Kitto, Clinical Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist.
I am a local to the Fleurieu Peninsula, having grown up in Port Noarlunga South and Old Noarlunga. Many years later, I am happy to help people create greater levels of happiness for themselves, through counselling for depression, anxiety or trauma, or using hypnotherapy to change behaviour at the subconscious level.
I specialise in using hypnotherapy to treat trauma and PTSD.
I have treated hundreds of clients over the years, with great results.
The difference is that the use of hypnotherapy allows us to target the behaviour in the subconscious mind much more quickly than regular talk therapy.
How do you know if you’d be suitable for psychotherapy or hypnotherapy? Read on below…
Psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy
Kathryn uses Psychotherapy, Positive Psychology and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clients overcome distress patterns. These distress patterns may result in anxiety, panic attacks, feelings of powerlessness, or in relief behaviours, such as comfort eating, drinking or avoidance of situations. By working with the client, and using the CBT Map to find out triggers, feelings and thought patterns, the client will find they have greater empowerment and choice about their behaviours and reactions. The client is then able to work these new desired behavioural outcomes into their subconscious through the use of hypno-psychotherapy.
hypno-psychotherapy or hypnotherapy
During Hypno-psychotherapy, the client allows him/herself to enter a state of relaxation called hypnosis or trance, during which there is a high degree of focussed attention on the core issues of behaviour. Then during the hypnosis, the mind relaxes and lowers its guard by minimising interference from the critical judgmental conscious mind, allowing the therapist to communicate directly with the subconscious mind.
It is the subconscious mind that controls our habits and automatic behaviours, and therefore, by working with it on a psycho-therapeutic level, the therapist helps the client to create new thought and behavioural patterns for themselves, which is more effective than talk therapy at the conscious level.
This process is completely safe. The client is fully aware of everything happening, and is able to leave the hypnotic state at any time. The client is not asleep, just extremely relaxed.
