GP Referrals – Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapy                                 with Cheryl Swart

​​

I am a Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapist based in Alkimos, WA. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, trauma, chronic pain, and other stress-related conditions through evidence-based, as well as function-focused hypno-psychotherapy.

 

A Timely Therapeutic Option
When it comes to mental health referrals, the usual course of action is to refer patients to a psychologist — but many now face 6+ month waitlists. This can leave patients vulnerable and without timely support. As a professional Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapist, I offer an effective, complementary treatment pathway that supports both patients and medical practitioners in meeting immediate mental health needs.

​

Therapeutic Approach
I use a trauma-informed, integrative framework tailored to each client’s needs. Some of the key approaches I draw from include:

• Clinical Hypnotherapy

• Psychotherapy

• Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (eCBT)

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

There are many other techniques and strategies I incorporate as needed to best support each individual’s healing journey.
