Kelowna Hypnotherapy

Unlock change from the inside out

Hypnotherapy can be a very efficient way of releasing negative thoughts

What If the Answers You’re Searching For Are Already Inside You?

Most people think of hypnotherapy as something they’ve seen on stage — a trick, a show, a spectacle. But real hypnotherapy is nothing like that.

At Empowered Solutions Counselling, we offer Kelowna hypnotherapy that’s safe, professional, and deeply transformative. It’s not about clucking like a chicken. It’s about accessing the part of your mind that stores patterns, beliefs, and emotional habits — and gently updating what no longer serves you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in thoughts, fears, or behaviours that logic alone can’t change… this might be your missing link.

What is Hypnotherapy, Really?

Hypnotherapy uses deep relaxation and focused awareness to bypass your busy, analytical brain — allowing you to explore the subconscious patterns that shape how you think, feel, and react.

You are always in control. You’re not asleep. You can’t be made to do anything against your will. It’s more like a guided meditation, paired with therapeutic intention.

During hypnotherapy sessions in Kelowna, we work together to explore the root of what’s holding you back — and gently shift it.

What to Expect in a Hypnotherapy Session

You’ll begin with a grounded conversation to clarify your goals

You’ll be guided into a calm, focused state — like a very relaxed daydream
You’ll explore thoughts, memories, or beliefs from a place of emotional safety
You’ll come out of hypnosis aware, refreshed, and in control
We’ll integrate your insights so they can create real change outside the session

Sessions are available in-person at our Kelowna office or online, depending on your comfort and preference.

What Can Hypnotherapy Help With?

People seek hypnotherapy when they feel stuck — mentally, emotionally, or physically. Some common areas we work with include:

Anxiety and chronic stress
Phobias and irrational fears
Smoking cessation
Body image and eating habits
Burnout and nervous system overload
Sleep issues or racing thoughts
Confidence, public speaking, or self-worth

Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or simply feeling like talk therapy hasn’t been enough on its own, working with a Kelowna hypnotherapist might be the next right step.

Heart to Heart with Petra

“I started offering hypnotherapy because I saw the same thing over and over again: brilliant, self-aware clients who still couldn’t shift certain behaviours or beliefs. And the truth is, sometimes talk therapy only gets you so far.

Hypnotherapy lets us work with the subconscious — not to control it, but to meet it with compassion and curiosity. It’s one of the most powerful tools I’ve used for helping people create change from the inside out.”

-Petra Nielsen RTC, C.Hyp
