PERSONALISED COACHING & RTT® HYPNOTHERAPY
You understand the pattern. You want to be able to change it.
You know when you’re overthinking, taking on too much or being hard on yourself. You may understand why you do it. Yet when pressure builds, the familiar response returns.
Perhaps you set a boundary, then spend the evening worrying about it. You decide to slow down, but feel guilty when you stop. Or you recognise that you’re looking for reassurance and still find it difficult to trust your own decision.
I offer personalised coaching and RTT® hypnotherapy for anxiety, stress and recurring emotional or behavioural patterns.
We look at what triggers the response, what keeps it going and which approach fits your needs.
Based in Hamilton, working online across New Zealand and Australia.

WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE HERE
When familiar ways of coping start costing too much.
You may be managing your responsibilities well while privately struggling with the effort it takes.
Anxiety and overthinking
You replay conversations, anticipate problems or keep checking whether you have made the right decision. Thinking things through brings little lasting relief, and it becomes difficult to switch your attention elsewhere.
Perfectionism and self-criticism
You put considerable effort into getting things right, yet notice what fell short. A mistake stays with you. You may overprepare, repeatedly check your work or put off starting because the standard feels difficult to meet.
People-pleasing and over-responsibility
You say yes when you’re already stretched. You feel responsible for other people’s reactions and find it difficult to delegate, ask for help or tolerate someone being disappointed.
Strong emotional or physical responses
You become anxious, tense, defensive or overwhelmed more quickly than you would like. You understand the situation afterwards, but find it difficult to respond differently in the moment.
Ongoing stress and difficulty recovering
Your mind stays at work after the day ends. Rest gets postponed, ordinary demands feel harder and you have less patience or energy available for the people and activities that matter.
You do not need to recognise every pattern here. We begin with your experience and what you would like to change.
UNDERSTANDING THE PATTERN
A response can help in the moment and still leave you struggling.
We look at a specific situation from your life: what happened, what you thought and felt, what you did next and what followed.
For example, saying yes to another request might ease your worry about disappointing someone. Later, you feel overwhelmed and resentful. The useful work could involve both setting a practical limit and learning how to respond to the guilt that comes with it.
Your history may help us understand the pattern. We also pay close attention to what is maintaining it now.
Checking a decision may briefly reassure you. Avoiding a conversation can ease the immediate anxiety. Taking over a task gets it done, but leaves you carrying the responsibility again. These short-term benefits can make a response difficult to change.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
Your needs determine where we begin.
A focused hypnotherapy session may be appropriate when there is a particular fear, belief or emotional association you want to explore.
Coaching offers more time when several factors are interacting, or when you would benefit from support putting changes into practice.
For example, you may need to work on a belief about disappointing others while also changing your workload, practising boundaries and making room for recovery.
We consider what you are experiencing, what you have already tried and what each approach involves. A standalone session does not guarantee that one appointment will resolve the difficulty, and the larger programme is not automatically the better choice.
PERSONALISED 1:1 COACHING
Six sessions. Time to put the work into practice.
$1,500 NZD · Six fortnightly appointments over three months
Coaching gives us space to understand your concerns, agree on priorities and work on changes in the situations where you need them.
First appointment: 75 minutes
We explore your concerns, relevant background, current circumstances and what you have already tried.
We agree on what useful progress would look like and identify where to begin.
Five further appointments: 60 minutes each
We work on those priorities and discuss your experience between appointments. This gives us time to build on what helps and adjust what is difficult to apply.
Included throughout the programme
Agreed practices between appointments.
Written session summaries.
Resources relevant to your needs.
We choose practices together, taking account of your time, responsibilities and capacity.
Appointments are online across New Zealand and Australia.
HOW WE APPROACH CHANGE
We make the work specific to what you need.
MIND & BODY
Anxiety, attention and physical stress
We explore how worry, attention and physical sensations interact for you. Where relevant, we use stress education, breathing or body-based strategies to support how you respond.
My respiratory and neurological physiotherapy background informs this work. We also recognise when physical symptoms need medical assessment.
BEHAVIOUR & LIFE
Habits and behaviour
We agree on manageable opportunities to practise a different response.
That might mean making a decision without repeatedly checking it, approaching a task you have been avoiding or setting a boundary without immediately taking it back.
We discuss what happens when you try, including what makes the change difficult.
BELIEF SYSTEMS
Beliefs and emotional associations
Sometimes an ordinary situation carries a much bigger meaning. A mistake feels like proof that you are inadequate. Saying no feels selfish. Asking for help feels like failing.
We explore how those meanings influence your choices. RTT® hypnotherapy is an option when a particular belief or emotional association is relevant and the approach is suitable.
WORK & RELATIONSHIPS
Workload, relationships and recovery
Some pressure comes from circumstances that genuinely need attention.
We consider the demands you are managing, the support available and where responsibilities or expectations may need to change. We also look at what gets in the way of rest and recovery.
The balance of this work depends on your needs. You will not be expected to use every approach.
GOALS THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE
What would you like to be able to do differently?
Leave work without mentally continuing it all evening.
Make a mistake without spending hours criticising yourself.
Say no and allow someone else to have their reaction.
Feel less driven to check, rehearse or seek reassurance.
Recognise a stress response earlier and have a clearer idea of what to do.
Take a practical step towards something you have been avoiding.
We turn your priorities into specific goals. This helps us assess whether the work is making a useful difference and identify what still needs attention.
Change can take practice. If a familiar response returns, we look at what happened and what could help next time.
RTT® WITHIN COACHING
When hypnotherapy has a useful role.
If a particular fear, belief or emotional association appears important, we can discuss including RTT® hypnotherapy in your programme.
It offers a focused setting to explore those associations and the meanings connected with your concern. We discuss what the session involves and whether it is appropriate for you before deciding.
Optional RTT® upgrade: $200 NZD
Includes a personalised hypnosis recording, with follow-up during a coaching appointment.
Total programme price with RTT: $1,700 NZD
Hypnotherapy is optional. You can complete the coaching programme without it
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
I’m Genevieve
PHYSIOTHERAPIST · CERTIFIED HYPNOTHERAPIST · RTT® PRACTITIONER
My background includes a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy from AUT and clinical experience in neurological and respiratory care.
That work taught me to consider physical symptoms, daily function and the circumstances surrounding a person’s difficulty. I later trained in RTT® with Marisa Peer and professional coaching through the NZ Coaching & Mentoring Centre.
I have also balanced clinical and corporate work, parenting and long-term caregiving. I understand that making a change can be difficult when other people depend on you and your time already feels accounted for.
I bring those perspectives to our work. I listen carefully, explain my thinking and help you identify steps that are relevant to your life.
I remain registered as a physiotherapist but am currently non-practising. My services here are coaching and hypnotherapy. I am also an IICT member.
IN THEIR WORDS
What clients say
"What stood out most was how safe and grounded she made the space feel. Her questions helped me connect patterns I hadn't fully understood before, especially what I'd internalised from my parents and how it was still shaping my reactions. Something shifted in how I see things now, and the recording has been a big part of reinforcing that."
— J, Canada
"From the very beginning her professionalism was clear, and she created such a warm, welcoming space. I came away feeling clear. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking lasting change."
— V, former client
"A gentle, patient and knowledgeable hypnotherapist. Genevieve puts you at ease right away. Her calming presence and patient guidance helped me overcome my fears."
— Lorraine, Wellington
Questions people ask
-
You do not need to know before you contact me.
A more discrete issue may be appropriate for standalone RTT®, while a problem involving several interacting factors is more likely to benefit from integrated support.
The free initial consultation is partly about working out that distinction.
-
There is some overlap in the kinds of problems people may bring, but this work is not intended to replace psychological therapy.
My focus is generally on understanding a specific current pattern, what may be maintaining it across physiology, behaviour and subconscious associations, and what targeted changes may help.
If psychological therapy appears to be the more appropriate service, I will recommend that.
-
That is extremely common.
Insight is valuable, but knowing why something happens does not necessarily change the physical response, habitual behaviour or emotional association involved.
Rather than repeating the explanation, we become interested in what continues to maintain the response now.
-
No. RTT® is one of the tools I use, not the entire model.
If there is no clear reason to use hypnotherapy for your particular problem, we do not use it simply because I happen to offer it.
-
Yes.
Standalone RTT® is available for $450 and includes preparation, approximately 90 minutes of hypnotherapy and a personalised recording afterwards.
The initial consultation helps determine whether one focused session or broader support is more appropriate.
-
The Reset Programme is deliberately short and focused rather than open-ended coaching.
The exact structure is based around assessment and mapping, targeted intervention and integration, with additional follow-up where it is genuinely useful.
We will discuss the structure before you commit.
-
Yes. Individual work is available online via Zoom throughout New Zealand and Australia.
-
This service is not designed for acute mental-health crisis care.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, active self-harm urges or a psychiatric emergency, please contact your GP, local mental-health crisis service or Emergency Services on 111.
Let’s talk about the change you want to make.
You do not need a perfect explanation or a decision about which approach to use.
A free phone consultation gives us time to discuss what has been happening, answer your questions and consider whether working together would be helpful.
