Exhausted Dealing With Your Teen’s Anxiety?
Help your teenager find calm, confidence, and focus again with hypnotherapy and strategic psychotherapy in Bondi Junction & Waverley, Sydney .
When worry, school stress, or panic starts taking over your teen’s life, it can affect everything — sleep, confidence, motivation, even friendships. My approach combines Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnosis to help teens reset unhelpful thinking patterns and manage anxious responses calmly and effectively.
Sessions are practical, gentle, and designed to help your teen build self-awareness and resilience — skills that last well beyond therapy.
Available in-person or online across Australia. Most clients begin noticing positive changes after just a few sessions.
Help Your Teen Break The Anxiety Cycle
Anxiety often tries to run the show by chasing certainty, comfort, and avoidance. At home or at school it can start to set the rules. Families understandably try to help by smoothing the path, yet that can sometimes give anxiety more power.
For teens this can look like school refusal, social avoidance, perfectionism, overthinking, tummy aches, sleep issues, or panic. Anxiety also overlaps with low mood, which adds another layer to manage.
The good news is that anxious patterns are learned and can be unlearned. With Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnosis your teen can build skills for calm breathing, clear thinking, and confident action in real life situations.
I work with teens and families to map how anxiety is being done today and to practise different responses. Sessions are practical and compassionate. Your teen learns tools for focus, confidence, and resilience that last.
Available in person in Bondi Junction and Waverley, or online across Australia. Learn more about anxiety hypnotherapy in Sydney.

So, how does it work? After building trust with your teen, I’ll invite them to share a little about their worries and what they want for their future. From there, I’ll guide them through how anxiety shows up and, more importantly, how they can respond differently and feel in control again.
Together we look at how they have been managing stress and find more effective ways to handle it. The goal is fewer overthinking spirals, less fear of failure, and more calm confidence.
My toolkit includes Strategic Psychotherapy, CBT, NLP, and ACT, all combined with Clinical Hypnosis. This blend gives the mind a rest from racing thoughts while building lasting change.
This approach is fast, effective, and backed by evidence. My aim is simple — to help your teen get results in as few sessions as possible.
Quick, straightforward therapy
Every teen deserves to feel in control of their thoughts and emotions. Together we build the confidence and strategies they need to move forward with calm and purpose.
How We Create Change Together
Strategic Psychotherapy
Helps teens understand how anxiety is being done rather than why it started. We explore the thinking patterns that keep it alive and practise new, effective ways of responding.
Clinical Hypnosis
Guides the mind into calm focus so new patterns can form. Teens learn to reset the stress response and approach challenges with composure.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Teaches practical mental tools that shift unhelpful thoughts and build everyday confidence — at school, in friendships, and in life.
So who am I?
Hi, I’m Claire Addis, and I’ve helped many teenagers overcome anxiety, fear, and self-doubt to feel calmer, stronger, and more in control.
I’m originally from Ireland and have called Sydney home since 2005. I’m a mum to two kids, and I understand the challenges that come with growing up in a fast, demanding world. My work focuses on helping young people build emotional resilience, confidence, and practical tools for life.

How Hypnotherapy Helps Teens Beat Anxiety, FAQs
Is hypnotherapy safe for teens aged 14 to 17?
Yes. Sessions are age appropriate, collaborative, and focused on building skills. Your teen stays aware and in control the whole time. Consent and privacy are explained clearly at the start.
Will my teen be in control during hypnosis?
Absolutely. Hypnosis is a natural, focused state. Teens can open their eyes, speak, or stop at any time. We use short, gentle segments that feel calm and comfortable.
What does a session look like for a teen?
We build rapport, set goals, and teach simple tools for breath, focus, and self talk. Then a brief hypnosis segment helps the mind rehearse calmer responses. Teens leave with one or two practical actions to try that week.
Do parents join the session?
Parents join for a short check in at the start and end if helpful. The main work is one to one with the teen so they can speak freely. You receive simple support guidelines to use at home.
How many sessions are usually needed?
Many teens notice meaningful change in about four sessions when they practise between visits. Timing varies by goals and engagement. We review progress together each week.
What if my teen is already in therapy or on medication?
Hypnotherapy can complement other care. If your teen is working with a GP or psychologist we are happy to align on goals. Always follow medical advice from your prescriber.
Is hypnotherapy good for anxious thoughts and panic feelings at school or sport?
Yes. We focus on real moments such as classes, exams, social situations, and performance. Teens learn reset skills they can use in the moment and a recording they can replay at home.
Online or in person, which works better for teens?
Both work well. Choose Bondi Junction or Waverley for in person, or Zoom from home. We keep the format the same so your teen gets the same tools and follow up recording.
What ages do you see?
This program is designed for teens 14 to 17. If your child is younger, contact us and we can advise the best next step.
