What would you like to change?
Sometimes the hardest things to change are the ones that seem to happen automatically. Habits, reactions, fears, cravings, sleep patterns and old ways of thinking can keep running even when you consciously want something different.
Hypnotherapy can help you work with those automatic patterns rather than simply trying harder to fight them.
You don't have to keep repeating the same pattern.
People usually come to hypnotherapy because they've already tried to think their way out of something. The conscious mind understands the problem. The automatic response keeps happening anyway.
Sleep
Settle your mind, change unhelpful bedtime patterns and make sleep feel more natural again.
Alcohol
Change your relationship with drinking and regain a greater sense of choice and control.
Anxiety & overthinking
Reduce automatic stress responses and develop calmer, more useful patterns.
Confidence
Shift old beliefs and automatic reactions that hold you back in everyday life.
I've been helping people change the patterns that hold them back since 2012.
I'm Michelle Davidson, the practitioner behind On Target Hypnotherapy. My approach is practical, conversational and focused on what you want to change. No judgement, pressure or hype.
People often come to me after they've already tried to change something consciously. They know what they want to do, but another part of them seems to keep producing the old response.
That's the part I find fascinating. Rather than simply telling you to try harder, we work with the automatic thoughts, feelings and responses that have been getting in the way.
I work with clients on the Sunshine Coast and online, and every session is shaped around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
Clinical Hypnotist & Mindset Coach
You stay in control.
Hypnosis isn't about handing control to somebody else. You're aware, you can speak, you can reject a suggestion and you can stop whenever you choose.
For most people it simply feels like being very focused and absorbed — a state we naturally move in and out of every day.
You don't need to be good at hypnosis, and you don't need to arrive knowing exactly why a problem exists. That's something we can explore together.
Simple, personal and not overcomplicated.
You don't need to know exactly what kind of session you need before you contact me. We start with a conversation and work it out from there.
Tell me what's happening
We'll talk about what you'd like to change, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to be different.
We choose the right approach
I tailor the session to you and what you're experiencing rather than using the same script or process for everyone.
We work with the pattern
We work with the automatic thoughts, feelings and responses behind the problem, so change can begin to feel more natural rather than forced.

Fears and Phobias
From fear of dogs to patting a puppy
One child’s experience of finding confidence around dogs.
From fear of dogs to patting a puppy
One child’s experience of finding confidence around dogs.
For one child I worked with, the fear of dogs was so strong that even patting a puppy felt out of reach.
After three hypnotherapy sessions, he was able to walk my dog, Sal and pat her too! It was a meaningful change from something he had previously found frightening. His family were finally able to visit their friends again (who had a dog), as well as ride bikes in the park. Life changing for the whole family.
This is one client’s experience. The number of sessions and results vary from person to person.

Anxiety and Confidence
When anxiety threatened their adventure
New empty nesters found anxiety getting in the way of their travels.
When anxiety threatened their adventure
New empty nesters found anxiety getting in the way of their travels.
A couple of new empty nesters set off to travel around Australia. But the further they travelled from home, the more anxious the wife became.
By the time her husband brought her to see me, she was overwhelmed, trembling, breathing shallowly and ready to abandon their trip.
After one hypnotherapy session, she left feeling calm and ready to continue. When I followed up a week later, they were still travelling, even further from home!
Sometimes a change in how we respond to fear can make all the difference.
