Clinic Director
Relationship Therapist | Family Therapist | Hypnotherapist | Mediator | Educator
Jeremy is a couples and family therapist, hypnotherapist, group facilitator and skilled mediator. He is passionate about helping his clients use the power of their minds to ‘create better problems’ for themselves. He believes people will always face challenges, but fun problems are better than painful ones. Jeremy helps individuals from a range of backgrounds and with a range of issues including conflict and dispute resolution, stress, low motivation, performance anxiety, low self-esteem, smoking cessation, and pain. He works with individuals over 18 years of age and with couples.
Jeremy’s coaching and counselling approach incorporates strategies and interventions from Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis, Neurolinguistic Programming (used by NASA), Gottman Couples Therapy , Clean Language and Non-Violent Communication (NVC) mediation.
Jeremy is a warm-hearted and intelligent therapist and facilitator, with a kind sense of humour. His ability to utilise an extensive repertoire enables him to set realistic goals and stimulate new resources, new choices, and new insights that naturally lead to meaningful mental, emotional and behavioural changes.
As a Couples & Family Therapist, Jeremy applies a thorough assessment of the couple’s relationship and integrates research-based interventions based on the Sound Relationship House from the Gottman Method. He supports couples to strengthen their relationships in terms of friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meanings. He helps couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts. He applies scientifically proven interventions to increase closeness and intimacy, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhance couples’ ability to achieve shared goals. Jeremy also conducts coparenting and separation counselling and support.
Jeremy particularly enjoys facilitating our Couple Marathons which are especially effective for busy couples and couples who live outside Brisbane that wish to maximise their time in therapy and gain momentum quickly with their counselling. He has run over 40 full weekend Couples Marathon Therapy sessions and believes they are the best time, energy and money investment toward fast measurable change in a gridlocked relationship.
As a Hypnotherapist, Jeremy’s style is very gentle, since many of the hypnosis interventions are ‘content free’. This means you do not need to speak about your past issues in great detail if this is your preference. This approach may be effective where the conscious mind is unable to articulate details. This can be useful when clients sense that ‘there is something going on that I don’t quite understand’. It may also be useful when traditional therapies have been unable to circumvent the coping strategies of the conscious mind.
Jeremy has been a practitioner of Hypnosis & NLP since 2005 and has over 10,000 hours of professional practice as a therapist, trainer and facilitator. For years, he ran practice groups for students and practitioners of hypnosis to promote higher professional standards in the industry. Jeremy is currently studying emotion-focussed couples therapy (EFCT). Jeremy is a busy single dad who, in his limited spare time, likes to work out, study, write haikus, and perform stand-up comedy.
Jeremy has recently appeared on ABC Radio Brisbane to discuss why couples argue and how to ‘fight fair’.
“Working with Jeremy was a life-changing experience. When leaving, it felt like we were entering a new world. Jeremy was very professional and handed difficult conversations with grace. I will never be the same after what I was taught. I only wish everyone could learn what we were taught. We thank you all for your assistance with preparing the materials and the therapy, and to Jeremy for his counsel”.
