You understand yourself… but your body still reacts.
This is not a mindset problem. Your nervous system is trying to protect you.
My name is Prue. I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist and I work at the intersection of neuroscience, somatic awareness, and depth psychology. If you've tried talking about it and it still hasn't shifted, this is why you're here.

You may be here because…
You can explain your patterns… but still repeat them
You feel everything deeply, and it’s exhausting
You keep ending up in the same dynamics
You know what to do… but something holds you back
Your body reacts before you can think
There is nothing wrong with you.
Your system has adapted to keep you safe.
So, what is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy works at the level where these patterns are created, deep within the subconscious mind and the nervous system.
Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness where the mind becomes more receptive to new learning. It is our innate healing and creative capacity.
In this state:
the analytical, thinking mind softens
the body begins to feel safe
deeper emotional patterns become accessible
This allows us to gently work with the emotional memory, beliefs, and internal responses that shape your experience.
Rather than forcing change, we create the conditions where your system can begin to reorganise itself naturally. Through awareness, openness, & compassion.
You do not need to be ‘fixed’.
What you are experiencing is often the natural result of unprocessed stress, emotions, and past experiences that have been stored within the body.
From early childhood experiences, relationship dynamics, grief, or periods of overwhelm, your nervous system adapts in order to protect you. To ensure that you survive.
But over time, these adaptations can begin to feel like:
anxiety or emotional overwhelm
people-pleasing or over-giving
recurring relationship patterns
disconnection from self
chronic stress, fatigue, or burnout
Even when you understand these patterns logically, they can still feel impossible to shift.
Your nervous system is designed to keep you safe.
When something overwhelming happens, your body encodes that experience and learns to respond quickly to anything that feels similar. This process happens automatically, without any conscious input.
This can look like:
fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses
heightened anxiety
emotional reactivity
feeling stuck or out of control
Hypnotherapy allows us to work with this protective system, so your body can shift out of survival and into safety.
Your body is trying to protect you.
I work with individuals who are ready to explore their inner world with depth, safety, and curiosity.
I can support you through:
Emotional connection, expression, and processing
Trauma integration and shadow work
Sleep issues, fatigue, and inflammation
Connecting with your inner-guidance system
Chronic pain, the subtle body, and somatic awareness
Discovery and connection to your true self
Anxiety, phobias, and anxiety disorders
Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders
Regression therapy
Addictions and behavioural change
Creative blocks and disconnection from intuition
Navigating life as a highly sensitive person
Identifying and moving past recurring, unconscious patterns
Relationship conflict or inner-conflict
Deep sadness, grief, and life dissatisfaction
Healing through dream work, internal imagery, and intuition
Each session is tailored to the individual in front of me. No Scripts. No pre-written protocols.
About Prue Walmsley
I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, with additional Psychotherapeutic qualifications. I am currently completing my third year of a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) at the University of Queensland, with the intention of undertaking doctoral research in hypnosis. Additionally, I am a qualified 200-hour Yoga teacher and I attend regular workshops at the Queensland Jung Society, deepening my understanding of the unconscious, dream work & internal imagery.
I am incredibly passionate about the work that I do, and my priority as a therapist is to create a space for trust and safety within the therapeutic relationship — the most important factor of successful therapy — meaning each step of the way is facilitated at a pace that you feel comfortable with. The deeper that we explore your past, the more prepared that your body will feel.
I found Hypnotherapy during a time in my life where I had felt that I had lost complete connection to my true self and I experienced first hand the profound impact of Hypnotherapy — my life completely changed from this point on. Through lived experience of complex trauma, I understand the feeling of losing control, feeling ‘stuck’, and feeling like your world is falling apart. Change is possible, if you are open to it.
Together, we can tune into the limitations that you currently face, and draw connections to past experiences where a lack of safety was encoded deep into your nervous system.
Client Testimonials
“I highly recommend Prue as a hypnotherapist. She was very professional, but without making our sessions feel clinical and stale. She had a warm and calming manner, which made me feel comfortable immediately. I really appreciated how personalised her approach felt, didn't feel like she was just following a script or ticking check boxes. She is clearly very knowledgeable about her work and techniques and was able to adapt to how I was feeling in each session and changes in my situation over time. My sessions with Prue have been very beneficial and I'm really grateful - thanks, Prue!”
