Clinical Hypnotherapy is a gentle, safe and highly effective therapeutic approach that harnesses the brain's natural neuroplasticity to strengthen positive neural pathways in the subconscious mind.
At Osteoworks, Fern Warren (Qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Dip. Clinical Hyp. Sc) provides warm, personalised, client-centred sessions — a balanced blend of heart-based and science-based therapy, meticulously tailored to help you break through, heal and make lasting change.
Clinical Hypnotherapy works through a process called synaptic pruning, which eliminates unwanted neural connections that no longer serve you — effectively rewiring the brain to support the thoughts, emotions and behaviours you desire. This helps release automatic negative thinking and limiting belief patterns.
Hypnotherapy is proven to be highly effective for a wide range of issues, including quit smoking hypnosis, hypnosis for weight release, chronic pain management, breaking unwanted habits, overcoming fears and phobias, grief and loss support, anxiety treatment, depression relief and more.
During your personalised session, we explore your unique needs and goals. Fern gently guides you through a deeply relaxing and empowering hypnotic process to rewire your subconscious mind, so your new, empowering thoughts, feelings and behaviours become natural, automatic and lasting.
Sessions include, but are not limited to, effective support for:
Please ask us if your needs are not mentioned here — sessions can be personally designed just for you and your specific needs.
Each session begins with a discussion about what you would like to work on, and together we create a plan that aligns with your needs and well-being. Fern follows a client-centred, heart-based approach and is always guided by what is meaningful and important for you.
You will then be gently guided into a calm, deeply relaxed state where your subconscious mind — the part responsible for your habits, beliefs, thoughts and emotional responses — can become receptive to positive change. You remain fully in control and aware at all times.
Please allow up to two hours so there is time for a pre-session discussion and a post-session debrief. Where appropriate, you will also receive a personalised hypnosis audio recording to listen to daily for at least 28 days to strengthen your new neural pathways and make results lasting.
Unlike many talk therapies that deal solely with the conscious mind, hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind — which represents around 90-95% of your total brain function and controls your habits, behaviours, emotions, beliefs and long-term memory. By tapping into this part of the mind, you have the amazing ability to rewire your responses and make changes you may have thought impossible.
Fern meticulously tailors your therapy, drawing from a wide blend of effective, evidence-based techniques, including:
A focused, supportive phone consultation to explore the therapeutic process and find the right approach for your goals.
A personalised, client-centred session including a pre-session discussion, tailored hypnotherapy and a post-session debrief.

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is best described as a very deep state of relaxation — a stable, normal, natural, healthy state of mind. When in hypnosis, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the mind) takes a break, allowing you to tap into the "storeroom" of the subconscious mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits, pain, anxiety and grief.
Will I lose control while under hypnosis?
Absolutely not. Contrary to how hypnosis is sometimes portrayed in movies, you remain fully in control at all times. You generally stay aware of and remember what happens during hypnosis, and anything you hear that does not feel right for you, you can simply let float right on by.
How many sessions will I need?
Every client is different, but many clients need only 1-3 sessions for each issue they are experiencing. For smoking cessation, the 3-session package is usually enough. Fern will always be guided by you as to what feels right for your needs and goals.
What happens in a session?
Each session begins with a discussion about what you would like to work on, followed by a tailored hypnotherapy process and a post-session debrief. Depending on your preferences, we may create small activities for home, and you will receive a personalised recording to listen to for 28 days for the best results.
Can hypnotherapy help with trauma if I don't want to talk about it?
Yes. One of the wonderful things about hypnotherapy is that only a minimal amount of talking is required — Fern will do a lot of the talking while you relax. A range of psychotherapies that focus on the body and the mind allow you to experience change without reliving or discussing difficult experiences in depth.
