Why Choose Tim Thornton Clinical Hypnotherapy?
20 Years of Clinical Experience
Since 2006, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life in Sydney and online. This experience has shaped a practical, grounded approach that responds to each person’s needs.
Tailored In-Person & Online Sessions
No two clients are the same, which is why I draw on a variety of methods, including clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, and psychotherapy. This flexible approach allows us to explore challenges from different angles and find strategies that feel meaningful and relevant to you.
Qualified in Rapid Core Healing techniques
Rapid Core Healing is a modern approach that works with the subconscious mind. It helps move beyond surface struggles to explore deeper patterns, giving clients the chance to create more lasting change than is often possible with talk therapies alone.
Looking beyond the surface
Real change often starts by understanding what sits beneath the patterns we notice day to day. In our work together, we look beyond surface struggles to explore the beliefs, experiences, and protective responses that may be shaping your life.
Ongoing learning and growth
Over the years, I’ve trained with internationally recognised teachers and facilitators, continually building on my knowledge to provide clients with the benefits of both experience and fresh insight.

Honestly, Tim is amazing. I went to him for weight loss and was unsure of what to expect, but he completely exceeded my expectations.
He really listens, makes you feel comfortable, and delivers results. I’ve lost weight and finally changed my mindset around food. Thank you!

I came to see Tim to help with procrastination and limiting beliefs. I am a commission only sales executive.
After a few sessions with Tim, my performance has skyrocketed. I went from being average, to a top performer within my company. This is still the case today 5 months after seeing him.
Tim is a very knowledgeable and kind person who makes you feel very comfortable and can deliver real results. I have no hesitation in referring him to anyone.

Our Sydney Hypnotherapy Process
Step 1: Free 20-Minute Consultation
You can choose to book a session online or arrange a free 20-minute phone consultation. This first step provides an opportunity to ask questions and decide whether hypnotherapy is the right path for you.
Step 2: Your Initial Hypnosis Session
In our first session, we’ll take some time to talk about what’s brought you here and the changes you’d like to see. Once you feel comfortable, we can start the hypnosis, and I’ll guide you into a relaxed, focused state. This is a natural experience that many people find calming and pleasant.
Step 3:Uncovering Subconsious Patterns
As we work together, we’ll look at the thoughts, habits, or past experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. Through hypnotherapy and psychotherapy approaches, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect, gain insight, release past trauma and begin new ways of responding.
Step 4: Long-term Integration & Support
Change is a process, so between sessions you’ll receive resources and strategies you can use in daily life. Follow-up sessions are available in Sydney or online, providing you with continued support as you build on your progress at a pace that suits you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnotherapy in Sydney
It’s natural to have questions before starting hypnotherapy. Find answers to some of the most common questions we get at Tim Thornton Hypnotherapy.
How does it feel to be hypnotised?
We encounter the phenomenon of “trance” almost daily. The hypnotic trance is a natural state of consciousness. We’ve all experienced “everyday trances”, for example, during a long night drive or when we watch a great movie.
There is also an active trance state, like the so-called runner’s high, while jogging or in connection with dance and music. During hypnotherapy, the client is induced into the trance state, which enables the therapist to make direct communication with the subconscious part of the mind.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No, it is quite the opposite! You even gain control, because you can access resources from your subconscious mind in a trance that are otherwise not accessible to you.
Am I unconscious during a hypnosis session?
No, in hypnosis, you don’t lose consciousness under any circumstances. And the feeling of trance is in no way comparable to fainting. Depending on the depth of trance, it is even possible – and quite desirable in the context of a therapy – that you’re aware of every word being said and feel fully present.
What can I do to contribute to the success of a session?
To make lasting changes under hypnosis means teamwork. Only if you are willing to get involved in the hypnosis techniques will we achieve success. I will provide you with various exercises and techniques to practice during and after your hypnotherapy program. This commitment on your part is critical to your success.
In the course of a session, it is of great advantage if you previously as accurate as possible observe the triggers of smoking.
How long does the effect of hypnosis last, and will I revert to my old patterns?
An important question and the honest answer is that it depends on the client and their circumstances. If the client’s original intention for change was strong and their new patterns have been reinforced with the back up resources that I provided then there’s the best chance of success. Habits and patterns are neural pathways, when an old negative one becomes dormant and is replaced by a new positive one, that’s the best outcome.
Is the state of trance perceived as such?
While you are in the trance state, you are aware of it, and if specific suggestions are made, for example, “Your body is feeling warm and heavy”, you’ll actually experience the sensations. The experience of trance is relaxing and pleasant, plus the more sessions you have, the deeper you can go!
