What is ACH?
Advanced Conversational Hypnosis is a form of hypnosis quite different to the norm.
No inductions or deepeners or closed eyes are required.
Instead, ACH begins as a gentle inquiry, a curious conversation that skillfully connects with the part of your unconscious mind that knows why you respond to life with either fears, anger, dread, retreating, aggression etc.
Your responses are wired into your unconscious mind for early and/or traumatic events as a guide for you mind to know how to navigate situations.
Whether it’s menopause, anxiety, binge eating, procrastination, depression, OCD or ADHD… Just about all
physical, mental and emotional responses have wired responses that you can’t control that are largely influenced from past trauma as a significant part of their trigger.
ACH is liberating.
As a results based therapy, we work together until we get results.
IF one session doesn’t fix the issue, we will work again on the issue in the coming weeks (maximum of four session over 8 weeks if needed), having said that, one session can unravel most emotional ‘knots’ and bring about significant and often complete change.
ACH is a fast and lasting, non-intrusive, quite beautiful transformational therapy.
Through communicating with your unconscious mind, you’re allowing it to see new perspectives and possibilities that make the old, out dated responses and belief systems lose their purpose.
Once the unconscious mind drops a response pattern the changes can be rapid and on going over the days, weeks and even months after the session.
Hi Stacey,
I just wanted to get in touch and give you an update since my session a couple of weeks ago.
I have big news.. I’m binge free!
I have been since the session. Understanding why I binge and what food meant to me since I was a child, has changed everything. It’s not like I’m trying to do anything differently, I just feel and am acting differently towards food, effortlessly.
My world for 37 years has revolved around food, diets and eating disorders. You have no idea how freeing it is to have space and peace from those thoughts. I finally feel like I’m healing the relationship with food, and myself. Thank you - this session has been life changing, life healing.

Client ACH Feedback
I was seeking assistance for procrastination and had heard about Advanced Conversational hypnosis, I tentatively booked a session with Stacey, not expecting great things as I had previously used hypnosis, on more than one occasion, without success. I always had trouble going into a relaxed trance like state therefore, I was more than surprised when I experienced this within a short time during the session.
Stacey had done what no other therapist had managed, she skillfully guided me into that deeper, more receptive, state that had previously eluded me, freeing my resistant subconscious and providing remarkable results which continue to improve daily. I truly cannot speak more highly of Stacey's ability which was offered up with sincerity and kindness.

Procrastination and Feeling Stuck
Thank you Stacey
Things have been good, I've been sleeping well (I slept like a baby Monday night!!) and it really feels like things are shifting. I'v been doing some of my usual routines but it's strange as it almost feels like I'm doing them for the sake of it rather than feeling like I need to do them. It's like there's this deep knowing that things are starting to change, and I have this feeling of nervous excitement that keep bubbling up.
Thank you so much for Monday and for your kindness and understanding. Its been lovely working with you again.

OCD creating issues with sleep
Addictions, limiting behaviors, hypersensitivity, phobias, physical and mental illness & fears are all, with only a few exceptions, an unconscious response to past pain and trauma.
Address the core trauma at the unconscious level through a carefully crafted conversation
and your unconscious mind will be given the opportunity to express itself and reassess
it’s trauma response.
The old trauma ISN’T the issue.
The unconscious links your mind made when you were very small around being,
- Bullied
- Critisized
- Judged
- Neglected
- Compared
- Ignored
- Rejected
- Abused
- Traumatized by grief or an accident etc.
are still active.
Current responses, like binge eating, feeling unworthy, procrastinating, etc. that are holding you back in your life now are NEVER about what’s going on NOW, even though they may seem like it.
They are always linked to beliefs your unconscious mind once came to about keeping you safe when you were very small.
If food felt safe, your mind will have created a link between eating at a time of stress.
Things like
- Procrastination
- feeling unworthy
- Fear of failure
- Perfectionism
- Binge eating
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Lack of motivation
- Not seeing things through etc.
can show up as coping mechanism, numbing techniques, tuning out of life and a cry from the unconscious to address deeper wounds.
Imagine your emotional mind starts as a calm, crystal-clear pool of water.
Then, one day, you were a happy 5 yr old girl arriving at school to learn your best friend Sally has shared your secrets with someone, or spread a rumor about you that caused other kids to mock you or she’d made friends with another girl and ignored you.
The deep pain of rejection, betrayal, unworthiness, humiliation and shame you experienced as a sweet innocent five year old came flooding in and overwhelmed you.
Or imagine if you will..
Your mum is depressed, stressed, sick or sad and you, as a tiny baby or toddler, need her connection. Even though she may love and care for you to the best of her abilities, as a baby you can sense her disconnection.
You cannot fix her issues or walk away and find a new carer, your unconscious mind has little option but to tune you out & keep distracting you.
If you can’t focus on mum not focusing on you, you will hurt less.
It’s not your fault
The painful emotions of rejection or disconnection are akin to a huge, heavy bolder that’s been suddenly slammed into the center of your emotional pool.
Ripples that get bigger and bigger and wider and wider, moving further away from the epi-center until waves of water hit the edge of the pool causing erosion and damage.
That damage remains there depleting your emotional pool. Allowing the water to seep away, leaving you vulnerable.
Over time, when life becomes challenging, you experience insecurities and negative feelings towards yourself.
Each time you are hurt, your old pain patterns are triggered. All your insecurities will unconsciously surface with coping habits and traits.
Most likely you don’t understand why you have acquired the habits or traits because those patterns were established when you were very young.
You will certainly have no idea they all began that day 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago when Sally hurt you or mum was going through a bout of depression.
Client review ADHD - Anxiety and spiraling thoughts
Hey Stacey, so lovely to hear from you!
I can’t even explain how much the session has changed the way I view myself,
something happened shortly after the session that normally would’ve put me in a
depressive state for weeks and I quite literally brushed it off as
if nothing happened!
I’m so thankful for how much you’ve helped me…
I’m overall feeling so much lighter and happier!
Thankyou!!!
Binge eating & ADHD traits are an unconscious escape from pain –
Address the pain and the binge
eating will stop
Decades of behaviour patterns, fears, phobias, emotional, mental and physical ailments can be rapidly released once the unconscious mind is given a voice.

Our job is to help restore that relationship.”
