Meet Marisa Netherwood – Clinical Hypnotherapist Sunshine Coast

My Approach to Helping People

I work with people who are ready to change something in their lives but feel stuck doing the thing they don't want to do. They often come to me after trying multiple approaches that haven’t created the long-term, lasting change they are looking for.

What I do isn't magic, nor is it a passive experience. Real behaviour change requires active participation. I employ a range of evidence-based techniques to help re-route patterns and build resources, and induce natural states of altered consciousness through hypnosis to re-wire beliefs and strengthen self-worth.

In 2025 alone I worked with more than 40 clients, helping them reduce anxiety, shift habits, recover confidence and move toward the kind of life they want to live.

Every person arrives with a different story, which is why the strategies I use are always tailored to the individual. Clinical hypnotherapy and NLP provide practical ways to understand and update the subconscious patterns that influence how we think, feel and behave.

When you work with me, you’re not simply attending a therapy session. You’re working with someone who understands how to navigate the subconscious mind and guide the process of meaningful change.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own — think of me as as a team member here to help you chart a new course.

My Approach to Behavioural Change Through Hypnotherapy

Many people try to change behaviour using willpower alone.

But behaviour is often driven by subconscious patterns formed over years — patterns connected to stress responses, emotional learning, and habit loops.

My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy, NLP and behavioural strategies to help people update them in practical ways.

Rather than fighting the mind, the goal is to work with the subconscious processes that influence how we think, feel and behave.

Areas of Focus

Marisa works with clients on challenges such as:

• sleep issues

• stress and anxiety

"My work is guided by a simple belief: when people recognise that a pattern is no longer serving them and are willing to seek support, meaningful change becomes entirely possible."
