Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and RTT Therapist in Christchurch, NZ
Hi, I am Anja
I am passionate about helping people who are struggling with today’s life.
If you are struggling with issues like stress or self-esteem, weight/eating issues, depression or any unidentified health issues, that’s where I can help!
Specialising in PTSD and Trauma, I have a non-confrontational method that helps you to let go of memories and emotions around your traumatic event.
Each therapy program is tailored to your specific needs, using a combination of Hypnosis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
These two therapies compliment each other really well, meaning you can see quick and fast results.

I help with...
Your mind can be wired from self-preservation or from memories. Understanding this is power, so take back your power and be in full control of your life.
Uncover the relationship you have with food, body image and weight gain or loss and reclaim feeling healthy and positive about yourself.
Emotion always wins over logic. Take back your emotional stability in the shortest possible time, to live and feel free.
Every habit of action is run by a habit of thought. Build resilience within your system to heal those things that are blocked and locked inside you.
You are what you believe, you become what you believe. Treat your depression the natural way and become and feel who you are meant to be.
Your mind holds onto past experiences for self-preservation, but you don't have to stay stuck in the past. Rewire your response to trauma and take back your power to heal and move forward.
Quality sleep is essential for a healthy mind and body. Uncover what's keeping you awake and regain control of your sleep patterns for deep, restful nights.
Anger is energy—it can be overwhelming or it can be transformed. Learn to harness it in a way that empowers you rather than controls you.
Your mind may feel stuck in patterns, but you can break free. Rewire intrusive thoughts and behaviors to regain a sense of balance and ease in your life.
Habits are driven by unconscious patterns. Reprogram your mind to break free from smoking or vaping and regain full control over your health and choices.
Escape the cage
trauma has locked you in.
Quickly and comfortably escape the horrors of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder using the Rewind Technique with me.
This approach uses guided imagery and I normally expect to see a major improvement in symptoms after just one session.

Why Choose Feel Free Therapy?
At Feel Free Therapy, I offer more than talk therapy—I provide personalised counselling in Christchurch designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. My services support people navigating stress, depression, self-esteem challenges, PTSD, addictions, or other issues that can limit daily life.
Hypnotherapy at the Core
Hypnotherapy is at the heart of my work. Every session is customised to what you bring with you, and it is always set up in a way that feels most comfortable to you. The focus is often on finding the root cause of a problem. However, for clients living with trauma or (C)PTSD who may not want to talk about their experiences, I use specialised techniques that allow progress without reliving or discussing painful memories.
A Safe, Supportive Approach
Whatever you present with, I adapt each session to your needs. My goal is to create a safe and respectful environment, whether in person in Christchurch or online, where you can explore healing at your own pace. I am here to support your healing journey every step of the way!
Combining Hypnotherapy with CBT
Alongside hypnotherapy, I also use CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) as a complementary tool. While hypnotherapy works with the subconscious, CBT addresses conscious thoughts and behaviours. Together, they align both parts of the mind for faster, more effective results.
Proven Results
Research from the International Hypnosis Association shows that 71% of clients using Cognitive Hypnotherapy (a combination of CBT and hypnosis) reported recovery after just four sessions, compared to 42% with CBT alone. This combined approach has been shown to deliver results up to 70% quicker than traditional methods.
Transformative Results
With this unique combination, you can expect therapy that is not only effective but also deeply respectful of your individual journey. My mission is to help you unlock lasting change in a way that feels safe, compassionate, and truly transformative. Feel free to contact me for more information, and let’s start your healing journey together.
