RAPID & EFFECTIVE THERAPY FOR BAD HABITS AND BEHAVIOURS
Worldwide Service · Brisbane-Based
A habit you can’t break?Let’s Fix That.
Not weak willpower.
A nervous system reaching for relief.
“You can stop reaching for it.”
Ready to stop the pattern instead of just fighting it?
WHAT I TREAT
It shows up in many ways.
Not addiction — the everyday patterns capable women fall into to get through the day, then lie awake regretting. Different habits, same engine underneath.
Whatever you reach for — the reaching can be switched off at the source.
01.
Binge drinking
The ‘just one’ that becomes the bottle, and the Sunday spent regretting it.
02.
Binge and emotional eating
Eating past full, eating in secret, eating to feel something — or to feel nothing.
03.
Overspending and impulse buying
The parcels you hide, the cart you fill at midnight, the guilt when the statement arrives.
04.
Doom-scrolling and screen time
Hours lost to a phone that leaves you more anxious than it found you.
05.
Procrastination
Knowing exactly what needs doing, and doing anything else.
06.
Nervous habits
Nail biting, skin picking, hair pulling — the hands that won’t stay still.
07.
Compulsive checking
Messages, socials, the ex’s page, the scales — on a loop.
08.
Revenge bedtime
Staying up for hours you don’t have, because the day gave you nothing of your own.
09.
Self-sabotage
Getting close to what you want, then quietly undoing it.
10.
The shame loop
The promise, the slip, the self-punishment — and round again.
WHY WILLPOWER KEEPS LOSING
The habit isn’t the problem. It’s the relief.
Every resolution you’ve made was sincere. It just wasn’t made at the level where the habit actually runs.
THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX
Where the resolutions live.
Decisions, rules, willpower — the level most advice works at. It knows the habit isn’t serving you. It just can’t reach the part that’s reaching for relief.
THE LIMBIC SYSTEM
Where the habit actually runs.
A nervous system under load learns the fastest route to feeling better, and takes it on autopilot. Resolve the load, and the reaching stops — which is exactly where my work goes.
You don’t need more discipline. You need the thing you’re reaching for relief from to be resolved. That’s the gap willpower can’t bridge.
WHAT A SESSION INVOLVES
Three simple steps.
UNDERSTAND THE REACH
We start gently — what the habit gives you, when it’s strongest, and what it’s helping you not feel. Share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
RESOLVE WHAT’S UNDERNEATH
A simple, gentle process, a little like a visualisation, that settles the discomfort the habit is managing, so the pull loses its power. You stay fully conscious throughout.
TEST THE RESULTS
Before you leave, we confirm the change has landed — so you don’t just hope it’s different, you feel that it is. Most clients feel a noticeable shift by the end of their very first session.
98% of my clients report their issue resolved, to their satisfaction, in under six sessions.
REAL STORIES, REAL RESULTS
What it feels like on the other side.
With two questions Sarah was able to help me completely change how I view my work. I used to worry about being good enough, but Sarah’s exercise gave me a complete re-frame. I’m so grateful and excited for what’s next.

I have spent 10 years stuck and paralysed with indecision. After one session with Sarah, I have been able to make moves towards what I want in my personal life and career, without overwhelm or fear.

WHY WORK WITH ME
The difference you’ll actually feel.
LIVED EXPERIENCE
I didn’t learn about this from a textbook. I know what a nervous system on high alert reaches for, and I know what it takes to not need it anymore.
RESOLUTION, NOT RULES
I’m not here to hand you a tracker and a pep talk. My focus is resolving what the habit is soothing, so there’s nothing left to fight.
NO JUDGEMENT, EVER
You will not be shamed here. Every habit made sense once. We just make sure you don’t need it anymore.
NO WAITLIST, NO REFERRAL
Private practice means no GP referral and no Medicare waitlist. Begin when you’re ready.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
My approach isn’t for everyone — and I’d rather be honest about that.
This is for you if…
- You’re capable and together on the outside, and stuck in a loop you’d never admit to
- You’ve tried the apps, the rules and the fresh starts, and the habit keeps coming back
- You’re ready to actually resolve it, not white-knuckle it forever
- You want a private, judgement-free approach without waitlists or referrals
It may not be the fit if…
- You’re dealing with physical dependence or a clinical addiction — that needs specialist or medical care first, and I’ll help you find it
- You’re in acute crisis and need immediate clinical or psychiatric care
- You’re looking for ongoing, open-ended talk therapy rather than resolution
- You’re not quite ready to make a change right now — and that’s okay
This work is for habits and behaviours, not addiction. If you’re unsure which side you’re on, the free consult is exactly where we work that out — honestly, and without judgement.
AND IF I’M NOT THE RIGHT HELP?
My promise.
I’ll get you to whoever is.
Sometimes what looks like a bad habit is something else underneath — physical dependence, a mood disorder, or a level of need that calls for specialist care.
If that becomes apparent while we’re working together, I won’t leave you to work it out alone. Your investment goes toward identifying what’s actually going on and coaching you toward the right approach — and I’ll act as your champion through the system, so you get a shortcut instead of years of trial and error.
I can’t stand the thought of needless suffering. You’ll be delivered safely to the right help, either way.
In 98% of the cases I take on, I am the right help. The other 2% leave with a clear path to the person who is.

LET’S BE HONEST
You don’t need to keep starting again on Monday.
The promise you make in the morning. The slip by evening. The shame that follows and makes the next slip more likely. None of that has to be the shape of your life.
So let’s resolve the thing underneath. Let’s get cracking.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your questions, answered.
01.Is this addiction treatment?
No. This is for habits and behaviours — the drinking, spending, scrolling and eating patterns that run on autopilot when you’re stressed. If you’re physically dependent, or a habit has become a clinical addiction, that needs specialist care first, and I’ll help you find it.
02.Do I have to give the habit up cold turkey?
No. We don’t start by fighting the habit at all. We resolve what it’s soothing, and the pull fades on its own — which is why the change tends to hold, rather than lasting until the next hard week.
03.I’ve tried everything. Why would this be different?
Because everything you’ve tried worked on the habit. This works on the reason for it. When the discomfort underneath is resolved, there’s nothing left for the habit to manage.
04.Will I be hypnotised, or lose control?
No. You remain fully conscious and in control at every moment. The change work is gentle, closer to a guided visualisation than anything you’ve seen on stage.
Ready when you are.
Let’s break the loop.
Book your free 15-minute consult. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, and exactly how I can help you resolve it.
