About me

Hi and welcome! I’m Michelle, the founder of The Mindful Clinic.

I work with people to help them overcome mental blocks and facilitate fundamental shifts on a subconscious level to bring about long lasting change. My goal is to move people from a state of surviving with anxiety and or depression to a state of thriving allowing people to live their best life possible.

Originally from the UK and qualifying in Law, and working within the busy corporate world in addition to being a mother of one child, I understand how stress ridden and anxiety provoking modern day life can be.

My Journey

Overcoming anxiety and depression personally, I have been on a mission for most of my adult life to find ways to help treat these conditions in the most natural and holistic way. I was very frustrated and tired of the limited help and options available to me. I knew there had to be another way. My fascination with hypnotherapy began when as a last resort after trying other conventional treatments I went to see a hypnotherapist for help. I was amazed that after my first session, I felt immediate relief from anxiety and a deep sense of inner calm, something I do not think I had felt for over 10 years prior to this. I then understood that the key to overcoming these conditions lies within our own subconscious minds and we have the power ourselves to change. However, sadly the information about how to use our subconscious mind to our own advantage to create powerful long lasting change is not something that is taught to us as children or adults, therefore we must seek guidance on how to learn to do this.  After receiving a number of hypnotherapy sessions, I realised that I had made fundamental changes within my mind and I was now consciously able to live a life without anxiety and depression. I couldn’t believe that for the first time in my life I felt in control of these conditions and that I was the only one that could really do this for myself, I just needed the guidance to show me how.

I was so amazed by the fact that we all have the power within us to make fundamental changes to the way we habitually think and act, I knew I had to help as many people as I can in this world to start living the life they want. So I embarked on a journey of self-exploration to reflect and fully heal by learning about the mind whilst travelling throughout South-East Asia. I read many, many books on this fascinating subject in addition to learning from different people and practioners in different cultures who also understood how the subconscious mind worked and its power in healing.

After my travels, I settled in New Zealand and I then decided that in order to help people overcome anxiety and depression, I wanted to re-train as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.  A few years later, I am now fully qualified in Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neurolinguistic Programming and Specialist Anxiety treatment. I then started The Mindful Clinic as way to help people overcome anxiety and depression in a relaxing, uplifting and positive environment.

I am very passionate about helping people to start living a life free from anxiety and depression and achieve their highest potential. Please get in touch as I would love to help!
