About
Hi, I’m Amanda Healy
I’m a counsellor, clinical hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, coach and nutritionist. I’ve been in practice for close to two decades on the South Coast of NSW. In January 2027 I’m moving to Miami on the Gold Coast, and I’ll keep returning to the South Coast regularly to see clients in person.
My focus is trauma-informed care. I combine talk therapy with hypnosis and NLP because many people find that understanding a problem is only part of the work. Changing how it feels in the body is the other part. Nutrition is part of that picture too.
I also deliver online counselling for Employee Assistance Programs, and I’ve served as National Administrator for the Australian Hypnotherapists Association.

Common questions
Will I lose control under hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state. You can hear everything, you stay aware, and you can open your eyes and stop at any time.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly.
Do you still see clients on the South Coast?
Yes. I’m on the South Coast now. After I move to the Gold Coast in January 2027, I’ll visit regularly and book a local consulting space for in-person sessions. Visit dates will appear in the booking calendar, and online sessions are available between visits.
Can I have sessions online?
Yes. Counselling, hypnotherapy, NLP and nutrition sessions all work well online. You’ll just need a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you’re working on. Some people notice a change in a few sessions; others prefer ongoing support. We’ll talk about this in your first session and review it as we go.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is taken seriously and everything is kept confidential, within the legal and ethical limits I’ll explain at your first session.
Can I claim through my health fund?
Some health funds offer rebates for counselling or hypnotherapy depending on your level of cover. Check with your fund before your appointment.
