Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m so glad you’re here.

After more than 13 years of supporting people through life’s challenges, I’ve expanded my practice to include clinical hypnotherapy—a gentle and focused way to work with what’s happening beneath the surface.

​

Hypnotherapy uses a relaxed, focused state of awareness—to help quiet the blizzard of thoughts in our mind and access the deeper, unconscious patterns that shape our habits, emotions, and reactions. In this space, new insights and shifts become more possible, without force or pressure.

​

Whether you’re navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, poor sleep, trauma, low confidence, or unhelpful habits, hypnotherapy offers a calm and supportive space to reconnect with your own inner resources. My approach is gentle, down-to-earth, and creatively grounded—inviting connection to parts of you that often go unheard.

​

Since 2018, I’ve been in private practice, supporting both adults and adolescents with a range of emotional, relational, and behavioural concerns. Before this, I worked in local and international community settings—including in Cambodia—supporting people through life transitions, emotional overwhelm, complex trauma and relational distress.

​

I’m excited to join Change In Mind as hypnotherapy brings together everything I value: deep listening, self awareness, and creative tools that support real and lasting change—at your pace.

Trish Dewberry

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Counsellor

Change in Mind Counselling & Hypnotherapy, Melbourne, Macedon Ranges & online via zoom.

Welcome to Change in Mind.
​

My name is Trish Dewberry and I am a clinical hypnotherapist.
I have been helping people overcome emotional or behavioural challenges in their lives in a very caring and respectful way, for 15 years.

Unfortunately, I am not able to accept new clients at the moment. 
​
I discovered the power of hypnosis when I was quite young. I used to ‘give up’ smoking every Monday – and that would last until about 10 a.m. It was hypnotherapy that moved me from being a 20 – 30 cigarettes-a-day smoker to completely smoke-free.  As hypnotherapy can be applied to many different issues, I have relied on it many times since then to help me through various challenges in my life.
​
I bring a lot of life experience to my work. After many years working in the jewellery trade, I trained as a teacher and majored in Psychology. I then taught VCE Psych for 12 years and undertook further post-graduate studies in Psychology and Career Development, becoming a careers counsellor in schools.

In 2009 I decided to train as a hypnotherapist and so completed the Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy at the Academy of Hypnotic Science. I now run a very busy practice in two physical locations – North Fitzroy and Kyneton. I also work with clients nationally and internationally via Zoom.
​
As a member of the Association of Clinical Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists, I continuously upgrade my experience and skills with ongoing professional development and supervision.

I apply my extensive skills and knowledge to help my clients recognise and achieve the wonderful possibilities for individual healing and growth that each and every person has within them. 
 

What I love about what I do

Nothing gives me greater career satisfaction than seeing a client move from distress and despair to a state of calm and optimism, usually within a very short time.
​
When clients have struggled with problematic feelings, emotions or behaviours it is so rewarding to help them resolve the issues and move into a new phase of their lives, embracing all that is wonderful within themselves.

Why Choose Change in Mind

Your wellbeing is our number one priority.
We use a multi-modality approach comprising counselling, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and career/life coaching to help each individual client rediscover and celebrate their unique talents and skills.

Your individual needs drive the process.

Because every client is a unique individual, Change in Mind wellbeing programs are structured to suit the individual.
Working together, we will creatively explore your strengths and talents and any obstacles that are currently preventing you from being at your best.
Through a process of inclusive and empathetic consultation and purposeful collaboration, together we create your treatment /coaching plan to ensure you get the best result possible. 

Effective and caring.

Many of our clients come to us after experiencing many months, or even years, of traditional psychological treatment but feel they are not actually making a lot of progress. Change in Mind uses targeted and highly specialised hypnotherapy to boost the effectiveness of counselling and to shift the deep unconscious issues that can block your progress, clients usually report feeling much better in a relatively short amount of time.

Holistic counselling that addresses multiple facets of your life.

Every part of your life is affected by your mental and physical well-being: your career, personal and intimate relationships, broader social interactions, finances etc. I will help you to explore your potential – personally and professionally – and help you to attain improved mental and physical well-being and personal growth.
​

Relieving the symptoms of mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD and panic disorders.
Quitting negative/harmful habits – smoking, drinking, gambling problems.
