Michael Pattinson

I’ve been practising hypnosis and hypnotherapy in a clinical setting for more than 10 years. I initially studied hypnosis at Victoria’s only Government registered hypnotherapy training body, The Academy of Hypnotic Science. I’ve studied under world renowned Psychologist Dr Gordon Emmerson, founder of Ego State Therapy, and Honorary Fellow of Victoria University’s School of Psychology.

I’ve been a professional member of The Australian Hypnotherapist’s Association (The AHA), Australia’s oldest and most prominent Hypnotherapy Association. This membership requires that I undergo regular up to date training, and professional development. All this means really is that I didn’t just do a weekend course to practice hypnosis. Things I’m known for include public speaking hypnosis, and helping people with their particular anxieties.

I am a proud father of two twin boys and I have a beautiful partner who is sick of me leaving hypnosis and psychology books around the  house. I am originally from Peru where my beautiful mother still resides.

I love Australia because it is my home. Full of good people, excellent coffee and a wonderful culture. I hope that in the next 10 years more and more people get to know evidence based hypnosis and it’s powerful potential in helping people make positive changes to their lives.
