Break Free From Alcohol
What if you could approach your relationship with alcohol differently?
Maybe you’ve tried cutting back before. You set rules for yourself, only on weekends, only one or two, but somehow it never quite sticks. Or perhaps you don’t think it’s a “serious” problem, but you notice alcohol has become the default way to unwind, cope with stress, or get through social situations.
Whatever your relationship with alcohol looks like, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
A Personal Understanding
I bring more than professional training to this work. Through my own journey overcoming alcohol dependence and 25 years of studying subconscious therapies, I understand the shame, the fear that without alcohol you won’t feel like yourself, and how discouraging it can be when you’ve tried to change before and it hasn’t lasted.
The truth is, you’re not weak. You’re not broken. Your mind has learned to use alcohol as a way to cope, and that pattern lives deeper than conscious willpower can reach. That’s why willpower alone so often isn’t enough.
How Hypnotherapy Works
Rather than relying on willpower or white-knuckling through cravings, hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind, where the habit actually lives. It’s a completely natural process. You remain aware and in control throughout, just deeply relaxed while the deeper work takes place.
Together we explore the triggers, emotions, and subconscious associations connected to your drinking. The stress, the routines, the social situations, the moments where alcohol feels automatic. From there, the work focuses on shifting those patterns at their root.
What to Expect
Every person’s experience is different. Some people begin to notice shifts in their relationship with alcohol after just a few sessions. Others find that longer-term support is helpful, particularly where drinking has been a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or past experiences.
I work with clients in person in Hervey Bay and online with people right across Australia.

Better Day Hypnotherapy can help
Posted on Google SarahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Kelly. She is very dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable. It is so obvious that she is very committed to her clients. She made me feel very supported with no judgement. Kelly made it possible for me to quit smoking. It was my first attempt at quitting after smoking for over 20 years. I did not think that I could do it, however, with Kelly's wonderful support, tools and resources, I proved myself wrong and surprised myself at how easily I did manage to quit. Thank you Kelly!Posted on Google JakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly has been amazing. From the start, I was ready to give up and thought I was fighting a losing battle with alcohol. But from the first contact with her receptionist, through to the personalised treatment, I could not be happier. This has genuinely turned my life around. I have a brand new outlook and new views in life. I have got back to where I wanted to be heading in life with my wife and kids. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone wanting to kick any habits they want gone. She has a gift, and in my opinion, she works miracles. Going from drinking daily, to not a drop since my first session with her. Thank you very much to Kelly with her life changing methods.Posted on Google VirginiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Kelly has been amazing in helping me to move through a very hard time in my life. She is not only incredibly talented, but also compassionate and comforting. Since seeing Kelly I have felt better and better every day! I have gotten complete control of my life back and honestly feel like a new person! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Kelly.Posted on Google DarrylTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly is the real deal. She has a genuine desire to help others, and doesn’t shy away from a challenge. I gained so much from our time together. I only wish I tried this first, before failing countless other methods. Her own firsthand experiences mean she can properly relate to addiction. I have a newfound excitement for the future.Posted on Google KateTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I highly recommend Kelly to help overcome whatever your habit might be. Mine was smoking. I tried a number of things to cut down or give up with no luck, after two sessions of hypnotherapy I can proudly say I will never touch another cigarette ever again! Thank you so much Kelly, you are amazing.Posted on Google LaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never thought hypnotherapy would work for me, until I met Kelly. Now I am a true believer! I found Kelly to be very professional while still having a very gentle and caring manner. Two sessions and now seven weeks later (and counting) I have had no desire , need, want to have alcohol. Feeling terrific, happy, healthier in such a short period. Excellent service, highly recommended.
