I’m Sandra Cleere, a qualified clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner based in East Maitland, offering both in-person and online sessions.
I help people who feel stuck in patterns they have struggled to change through willpower alone. This may include anxiety and overwhelm, low confidence, emotional or habitual eating, weight-management challenges, smoking, motivation difficulties, or simply feeling that something is holding them back.
Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I spent more than 20 years working as a scientist and laboratory leader. That background shaped my practical, thoughtful and evidence-informed approach. I understand that every person experiences their problem differently, so sessions are tailored to you rather than delivered from a standard script.
My style is warm, straightforward and collaborative. You remain aware and in control throughout the process, while we work together to understand what has been keeping the problem in place and create meaningful, lasting change.
If you’re curious about whether hypnotherapy could be right for you, I invite you to get in touch for a confidential conversation.
- Clinical HypnotherapyClinical Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnotherapy in a clinical setting. A hypnotherapist guides their client through a process of deep relaxation to arrive in a trance-like state by using verbal repition and mental imagry. Hypnotherapy aims to reach subsoncious memories, beliefs, coping strategies and desires to provide insight for individuals who may suffer from pain or anxiety, or assist idividuals to gain control over undesired bahviours. A clinical hynotherapist combines hypnotherapy with counselling or psychotherapy techniques, and can support clients with mood disorders, phobias, sleep disorders, and other mental health or behavioural challenges. Note: Clinical Hypnotherapy is distinct from Hypnotherapy. Each has different study requirements.
- NLP CoachingNeuro Linguistic Programming Coaching supports clients to access their dormant potential and achieve more in life. NLP Coaches are trained to detect minute clues in facial expressions, tone of voice, and expressions to uncover limiting beliefs and behaviours. Practitioners support their clients to set goals, break addictive habits, improve performance, and transform their relationships.
- Life CoachingLife coaching is a collaborative and goal-oriented process that helps individuals, businesses, and teams to bridge the gap between their current circumstances and success.

Life coaching covers various areas of life, such as career, relationships, personal growth, and health. It aims to empower individuals, foster self-awareness, and assist in making positive changes to create a more fulfilling and balanced life.
