Hi! My name is Dr Janine McIlwain and I'm a clinical hypnotherapist, counsellor and EMDR trauma therapist and registered acupuncturist helping people reduce stress, anxiety and trauma-related issues including (but not limited to)-

In addition to these, I can also help with mindfulness and relaxation tools, general mental health and well-being maintenance, clarity around life direction, and pain management.
WHY HYPNOTHERAPY?
In the state of hypnosis, we can work directly with the subconscious mind bypassing the conscious, critical thinking mind and get those positive suggestions, thoughts and imagery where they need to be, to create lasting change. It’s our conscious mind that creates barriers to our healing, so we need to access that deeper part of our mind for true benefit.
Often my clients have been seeing psychologists and other mental health professionals for years with no real impact so decide to give hypnotherapy a go. They are often surprised when they experience very quick breakthroughs and realizations from their issues and are able to move forward positively with their lives free from the restriction of stress and anxiety.
This is because in hypnosis, we work with the WHOLE MIND. We can talk directly with the subconscious mind and get to all those core beliefs, habits, patterns and hidden blocks that are keeping us stuck in the past. Once these are bought to the awareness of the conscious mind, then true change can happen.
I use an intuitive mix of NLP, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, theta healing, tapping and EMDR in the sessions. Standard counselling sessions are also available for those that just need to talk through some things and gain some clarity about their life.
Suite 3/ 19 Short St Southport QLD and I also offer online appointments via Telehealth.

A Journey from External Validation to Inner Sovereignty: Discover the Power of Living from the Inside Out.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly in survival mode? Do you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or endlessly busy trying to feel in control—while secretly yearning for peace, clarity, and meaning?
You’re not alone. I’ve walked that path too—turning to food, alcohol, medications, social media, co-dependent relationships, and relentless productivity just to escape my anxiety and emotions. It can feel impossible to break free from those cycles—but there is a way out.
In my intuitive coaching and counselling practice, I guide clients through a deep process of transformation—from a life shaped by external pressures, outdated programming, and emotional pain to one anchored in authentic inner peace, clarity, and joy. Together, we release what no longer serves you and reconnect you with your true essence: the witnessing awareness, the spark of source within.
Using a combination of practical tools like Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Internal Family Systems, shadow work, and intuitive techniques that gently guide you into heart-mind coherence, we’ll clear stuck energy, move your operating system back to the heart, and activate your inner guidance system. This is about more than healing—it’s about remembering who you really are and stepping into the life you were meant to live.
From this place of calm presence, you no longer need to force, fix, or prove anything. You become the conscious creator of your life—leading from wholeness, not from fear.
If you’re ready to move beyond struggle and step into empowered presence, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
