Quit Smoking

Smoking is one of the most difficult habits to break, and it’s an issue that many struggle to remove completely from their lives. Aside from the addiction to nicotine, smoking also presents a variety of mental and psychological traps that can make quitting incredibly difficult.

Our Quit Smoking Hypnotherapy Gold Coast program was carefully developed to help you overcome all your smoking trigger points, which may include stress relief and societal influences. With our ‘Quit Smoking’ hypnotherapy, you can save more money, breathe more clearly and live longer.

Weight Loss

Losing weight is an uphill battle for many people, and it’s often a never-ending fight for many. Most people focus solely on diets and exercise, but a weight loss mission based only on these aspects just treats the symptoms, not the cause.

Our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Gold Coast program will get to the root of your weight issues so that you can build the mental and psychological tools to avoid the common traps of trying to lose weight. Our program will help you uncover your relationship with food, neutralise your emotional triggers and make exercise and healthy eating more enjoyable.

Quit Drinking

Alcohol dependency can lead to various diseases and health issues. It can also take a toll on your family, finances and social life. Studies have suggested that families with members who suffer from drinking problems tend to suffer more, in terms of emotional negligence, financial issues, and even physical abuse.

Let our Hypnotherapy for Alcohol Gold Coast program help you break away from the habit before more significant problems arise. If you’ve tried to stop drinking before but always end up going back to your old habits, sometimes even that afternoon, perhaps it’s time you tried a different approach. Book a Session today.

Greg had helped me immensely with my anxiety and is always compassionate, understanding and willing to listen. I’ve also been to him for motion sickness which is no longer an issue which makes travel so much better. I have recommended him to my friends.

Greg is a magician in my eyes. I have suffered from severe anxiety from a panic attack I had on the highway 15 years ago. I have tried every from counselling, psychologists, psychiatrists, medication, CBT and online hypnosis audios. Nothing has worked for me no matter how much I have tried. I had 1 session with Greg and it changed my life. Something that has consumed my life for 15 years is no longer there. I could only drive the side roads and would take me hours to get there or I would avoid going to that place all together. Hypnotherapy is something I have been hesitant on and never really believed that it would work. I drove on the highway on the weekend without being able to make myself panic no matter how much I tried. I wish I tried this sooner and lived my life without this phobia consuming my every move. Thank you Greg and I owe so much to you for giving me the freedom I have so long desired. You are worth every cent and you are honestly a godsend!

Mindblowingly Extraordinary! One session is all it takes for Greg to move your mind. How good is he? I signed up to Handbook to reach out to Kerry Packer's handlers after watching the Spotlight interview to see Greg immediately, without delay. That's how Extraordinary Greg from Moving Minds Gold Coast is. The rest is up to you.

I could not speak more highly of Greg and his team. Greg is an absolute professional and an expert in his field. Myself and many of my family members have benefited greatly from his help and support. We will continue to refer friends and family to him.Thanks so much Greg!

I just want to edit my review - i can see the fake 1 star reviews come through and want to really let everyone know how incredibly passionate Greg is about his work, and how he went above and beyond for me even in between sessions to ensure i was staying on track. The type of care and service far exceeded any psychology appointment I've been to. And I'll be referring all my friends and family to him. Thank you!!!I'm feeling like I'm actually free from years of trauma and repeated patterns that I couldn't break free from. From the first session with Greg, he cleared them and I feel like I'm finally actually living. It's such an incredible feeling when someone asks "how are you" and I can actually say "I'm great" and it not be a lie. I'm truly grateful amd forever thankful for the work Greg has done.

Moving Minds Hypnotherapy has been a life-changing experience for my family and me. Both Greg and Rebecca are incredibly caring and truly dedicated to helping their clients. They went above and beyond, especially with my child, who was younger than usual for hypnotherapy. The results have been amazing for both of us. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the care we received.

I went and saw Greg to help me to quit smoking, this was 4 months ago. I went on an overseas trip to Europe 2 weeks after my sessions and thought I’d wait until I returned to leave my review. Well all I can say is why did I leave it so long to get help with quitting the smokes because I have felt this has been so easy for me. Not once have I felt the urge or desire to have a cigarette, even travelling through Europe where everyone smokes! I couldn’t believe how many people smoke and they can anywhere including restaurants which is so different to here. I didn’t crave or miss the cigarettes at all. Greg was fantastic and reassuring, I felt comfortable during my sessions and even though I succeeded after the first session, I went and completed my second session with Greg for reinforcement. So 4 months later, I am a non smoker and feeling great! Thank you so much Greg 😊16 months later and still a non smoker, best decision I ever made. If you’re looking at this treatment to assist you with quitting , I highly recommend Greg and Moving Minds Hypnotherapy Gold Coast

Was sceptical that hypnotherapy could work for me, but pleased to report that Greg was great, and is very adaptable to the client’s needs. Would wholly recommend if anyone with similar “doubts” is considering trying it/him!

I am adding to my review, over the past weeks I have become more aware oh the changes that my brain has undertaken and have managed to get through 4 weeks of work that at the start I thought I would not be able to do. The small skills that greg has given me to use to overcome self doubt and worry have been welcomed everyday and have enabled me to increase my confidence in who I am and who I can become.Take this comment as honest and real and again if you need support this is such a purposeful and empowering game changer. This is about embracing all things that are positive! Dont make a judgement about hypnotherapy until you have given it a genuine chance.My life has changed! Greg is calm, quiet, and knowledgable about how the brain works. He has many different strategies to help with everyday situations of all kinds. Negotiating everyday situations for me was fraught with self doubt and me lacking in confidence. Hypnosis with Greg has enabled me to undergo neuroplasticity- where my neurons have been able to reform due to letting go of situations in my past and present that have caused distress and a decreased sense of belief in myself.I thought the process would be hard and confronting but was not at all. I had to work on identifying my feelings through my conscious brain and then my subconscious brain was able to address these and through neuroplasticity rewire my brain for me to feel released from the feelings of doubt and feelings of procrastination and avoidance of tough life requirements.I am happy, directed and settled. Hypnosis has helped me to find me and to work with my own thoughts and feelings to be free from self doubt and incrimination without having to go through personal and difficult memories again and again.THIS HAS BEEN A LIFE CHANGING AND LIFE UNDERSTANDING EXPERIENCE.If you are ready for change, Greg is ready to support you!

Our 13 yr old daughter has struggled with debilitating anxiety for a few years. As she progresses through her sporting life we have seen her anxiety hold her back time and time again from achieving her goals and living out her dreams. We booked in with Rebecca with a focus on her being able to over come her anxiety she was feeling around her upcoming grand final. 1 session with Rebecca had her whole mindset change. She walked out full of excitement and the message- turn nervousness into excitement! She Did Exactly that!!! She prepared all week with confidence. Something we had not seen before. Normally we would have a number of anxiety attacks. We had none. It was incredible to see her shine through the whole week. She played the best she has ever played and her confidence now is showing. She is now thriving! We can not recommend Rebecca highly enough. As a bonus we also won the grand final.

Greg's work has been exceptional. I reached out, having spent over 30 years wrestling with my weight. I had tried all sorts of diets, regimes and loads of therapy, but none had worked.The changes I have seen in 4 sessions have been astounding. I feel like a new person in how I think of myself and approach eating and exercise. It's been easy and effortless. I am simply making different and better choices.I couldn't recommend Greg more highly, and now I consider his skills to be part of my internal support team.

My clients and I always get amazing results with Greg and Rebecca.Being a health professional I sometimes have clients lose motivation and undermine their health goals with poor diet and inconsistent exercise.They've helped me and my clients maintain the motivation and discipline needed to achieve weight-loss and health goals.I don't know how they do it, but they are definitely the best hypnotherapists on the Gold Coast

I would recommend everyone to try hypnosis at least once, it is an amazing experience that words can’t explain. I went to quit smoking, which has been a success with the assistance of Rebecca, now to see what else hypnosis can help me with.

I came in to this experience with an open mind but had no idea how much it would change my life. Rebecca is just so lovely and empathetic, and I felt fully supported through all my sessions with her. Although my original booking was for weight loss we covered so many other things that had been affecting my life and perspective for so long. I cannot recommend Moving Minds more highly, I am already planning to come back to explore other aspects of Hypnotherapy.

I was a lifetime sufferer of anxiety, and after seeing Greg, I have not suffered anxiety in over 8 weeks. It was a daily occurrence for way too many years, so to say it has been absolutely life-changing is an understatement. I can’t even force myself to be anxious, no matter how hard I try.I’ve also seen Greg for a couple of other things (including cutting down my drinking habits to only socially drinking and also overthinking almost everything), and after 3 sessions, my life has changed forever!!! For someone who was never a believer in “woo-woo” therapies, I am now a converted believer.It’s not what you picture hypnotherapy as either. You don't go into a trance like you see on the TV and he also doesn’t delve deep into what the reasoning is behind the feelings like a psychologist does. Had I not experienced it myself, I would never have believed it.Book in to see Greg. You won’t regret it.

I have smoke weed for 15 year everyday and could not stop no matter what i tried and it was affecting my relationship and my own mental . Greg Suggested to do 4 sessions and somehow I quit after the first I don’t know how it worked but it did my second session. I came in to fix my trauma and walked out feeling like a new person and totally different and look at life with a different aspect. Thanks again for your help and I will be passing on recommendations to anyone I feel needs it

The hypnotherapy sessions with Greg have helped me overcome addictions, deep-rooted fears and anxieties, allowing me to break free from limiting beliefs that were holding me back. I feel more confident, empowered, and in control of my life than ever before. Greg's techniques are effective and personalised, making the entire process feel tailored to my unique journey.Not only is Greg a skilled hypnotherapist, but he is also a compassionate and caring individual. He genuinely cares about his clients' well-being and goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and success. His professionalism and integrity shine through in every interaction, creating a safe and supportive environment.I cannot recommend Greg at Moving Minds Hypnotherapy enough. If you are looking to make positive changes in your life, overcome obstacles, or simply enhance your overall well-being, I urge you to book a session with Greg. Trust me, it will be one of the best decisions you ever make!Thank you, Greg, for your incredible guidance and support. You have truly transformed my life, and I will forever be grateful for the positive impact you have had on my journey.

I had a great experience at Moving Minds! I booked in 4 sessions to see Greg to help with my long history of anxiety, brain fog, family issues, self-doubt & low confidence.It’s quite hard to put your experience into words, because it is hard to explain how you can feel significantly better so quickly.Conversational hypnotherapy is not something I have done before, however, I did notice a difference even after our first session. I felt much lighter, clear-minded and confident in my decisions.It got to the point where we didn’t feel like I needed all 4 sessions.However, I decided to continue (spreading the sessions out further) to maintain what I had been working through.I am very grateful to Greg and his work and actually sad to see it come to an end (even though, I think this is a great place to be)If you are here thinking about it, take this as your sign to book in.Kiera

Coming to moving minds has completely changed my whole life.I decided to go to Greg after reading lots of amazing reviews as I have suffered with an incredible about of anxiety throughout my whole life. Since I left my first appointment in June last year, anxiety is not an issue I experience whatsoever. I waited a few days, then a few weeks, then a few months, to see if things would go back to the old ways, they have not! I don’t know how it works. I’ve tried everything else with no success. Nothing has worked like seeing Greg has. I truly owe him my life because now I get to actually live one.

Wow, where do I start!I reached out to Greg and his team to help me with my anxiety and my dissociation and the results are life changing. Through working with Greg, I have found myself again and feel that all the “noise” I used to feel building up before has completely disappeared. I can also see and feel myself daily making positive and healthy habits and I couldn’t have done it without him and couldn’t recommend him highly enough.Whatever you feel you may be suffering with, please know that help is out there and Greg is the person to reach out to for anything you may need help with. He has changed my life and I am so grateful, I can not put in to words.Thank you so much mate and to everyone out there, please get the word out that this guy is the best in the business!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be made to do or say things against my will?

This is a common misunderstanding of hypnosis. Most likely from the result of stage hypnosis performances. People do not say or do anything that they wouldn’t normally. During your appointment we will discuss what you want to achieve and why. Your subconscious mind is always listening and looking out for your best interests regardless of whether or not you are hypnotised.

How long are the sessions?

Generally your first session takes about 90 minutes and subsequent sessions are between 20-60 minutes. It is important that you allow sufficient time and are not worried about making your next appointment on time.

How many sessions of hypnotherapy will I need?

This depends on what is being treated. Some issues are resolved in just one session whereas others may require multiple sessions to fully resolve the problem. I have specifically developed programs with set amounts of sessions for the most common issues. From time to time people decide to continue seeing me after their specific program, or book in for a single session every now and then. You will notice a significant difference after the very first session.

How much does it cost?

Please see the appropriate program (in the services section) for prices. Each program contains a different amount of sessions. The price is based on the number of sessions.

How do I know if I can be hypnotised?

Virtually everyone can be hypnotised. A common myth is when a person says, “No one can hypnotise me, I’m too strong minded”. All hypnosis is self hypnosis. A person goes into hypnosis because they choose to. Strong-minded individuals are usually the best candidates providing they want it to work for them.

Is hypnotherapy okay for everyone?

Not always. There are some circumstances when hypnotherapy is not appropriate or another treatment is more suitable.

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnosis is a normal, naturally occurring state of mind. There has not been a single documented case of harm resulting from the use of hypnotherapy. For further information Read our Blog Article.

Is hypnotherapy the same for everyone?

No. I regularly change and tailor sessions based on what’s needed. Everyone experiences hypnosis differently and results vary. Most of the time it is very easy, fun, and relaxing. Included in all of my programs are strategies to consciously implement which complement your hypnosis and further improve chances of success. Some people require more repetition than others, and so I often include hypnotic audio sets to take home.

What does hypnosis feel like?

The feeling in hypnosis is normally like being physically, mentally and emotionally relaxed. Some liken it to daydreaming or how it feels just before you drift off to sleep.

Will I remember anything?

This is another misconception. Like when day-dreaming or relaxing, in hypnosis your mind may wander and you may not recall exactly what is said.
