What a treatment plan is

Some issues take longer than four sessions, because they have more layers. So instead of a fixed program, we build a plan around you.

It starts with a 90-minute first session for $300. In it we map what’s going on and agree what to work on first. We also estimate how many sessions you’re likely to need. That $300 counts towards the plan.

Who a treatment plan suits

It suits ongoing anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, stress and burnout, low mood, trauma and OCD. These often sit alongside care from your GP or a psychologist, and the plan fits around that care.

The number of sessions is an estimate, usually 6 to 12. We review it as we go. If something isn’t helping, I’ll say so and suggest where to go instead.

How the sessions run

A free 15-minute call

You tell me what’s going on and who else is helping. I tell you straight if I think I can help.

First session, 90 minutes

We build your plan together, and you have your first hypnosis in the same session.

Follow-up sessions, 60 minutes each

A short chat, then hypnosis in a chair, eyes closed. You take a recording home after each one, plus a short self-hypnosis routine.

After the plan

A follow-up from me, and 12 months of support if you need it.

What a treatment plan costs: $1,500 to $3,000

Your first step is a 90-minute session for $300, which counts towards the plan. You hear the full cost before you commit to anything.

$1,500 to $3,000total · your treatment plan, agreed before you start

A treatment plan is usually 6 to 12 sessions. Paid at the start, that’s $250 a session: $1,500 for six, $3,000 for twelve. Paid as you go, it’s $300 a session: $1,800 to $3,600. Your $300 first session counts towards the treatment plan either way, and two instalments can be arranged.

What’s included

Ernest McLeod

Clinical hypnotherapist, Adelaide and online

Hi, I’m Ernest McLeod, Adelaide’s Hypno Coach since 2012 and a clinical hypnotherapist for fourteen years, based in South Australia. Before this I spent twenty years writing software, so I like plain answers and practical steps.

Fellow, Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists (ASCH) · Certified NLP Practitioner · Time Line Therapy® Practitioner · Trainer: AHA-approved CPD courses

What I’m not: hypnotherapy is not a registered health profession here. So I’m not AHPRA-registered, and I’m not a psychologist. My memberships are voluntary. I also teach other hypnotherapists. The Australian Hypnotherapists’ Association has approved my smoking, vaping and gambling cessation courses for professional development (CPD).

What clients have said

Clients write a short note after sessions. These two agreed to share theirs.

I feel calm & relaxed.

SM, anxiety

Today’s session was my first time and it was lovely. I feel relaxed, calm and will definitely practice these techniques whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed or too stressed.

TR, stress

Questions about treatment plans

How many sessions will I need?

Usually 6 to 12. We agree a number in your first session and review it as we go. It’s an estimate, not a promise.

Can I pay as I go?

Yes. Paid at the start, it’s $250 a session: $1,500 for six, $3,000 for twelve. As you go, it’s $300 a session: $1,800 to $3,600. Two instalments can be arranged.

Does my first session count towards the plan?

Yes. Your $300 first session counts towards the plan either way.

What if I don’t need every session?

Prepaid sessions last 12 months. Anything unused can go to another issue, or to someone you know.

What’s the cancellation policy?

Move a session with 24 hours’ notice at no cost. With less notice, the session comes out of your treatment plan, or a cancellation fee may be charged.

Is it covered by Medicare?

No, and you don’t need a GP referral. Some health fund extras pay a small benefit, so check with your fund. Your GP can refer you to a psychologist under Better Access, and our sessions can sit alongside that.
