About Me
Hi, my name is Ian Barrow, and I am a qualified and accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist, Strategic Psychotherapist, and Counsellor. I have been in private practice for a number of years
As your Clinical Hypnotherapist & Strategic Psychotherapist, I will support you (or your loved ones) to heal, grow and live authentically. I will stand with you to re-evaluate, contextualise and use your strengths to assist you on your journey.
I specifically work with anxiety, procrastination, trauma and PTSD, anger, control-based behaviours, and low self-confidence. Also, comorbid behavioural changes for the ceasing of dependent behaviours and bad habits i.e., smoking, vaping, gambling, pornography etc, as well as insomnia, fears and phobias.
I also specialise in providing my therapy on-line, and so can support you with your concerns whenever you wish, wherever you are, however you choose - whether you are local, located anywhere within Australia, or globally.
Online or In-Clinic - Which is Better?
Online hypnotherapy has just as effective outcomes as In-Clinic hypnotherapy. Interestingly, for some clients they may get better outcomes from online therapy. These clients state they feel more relaxed, comfortable, and emotionally safer - and also feel they have more control undertaking therapy in their own private and safe space. They feel physically and emotionally safer in a familiar environment and hence are more permissive to discussion and suggestion. This only contributes to a positive outcome in their sessions.
Typically when you are attend a clinical session you will travel to the session, (and if you drive - try to find a park), wait in the reception area, find yourself in a clinical space which is new to you, sit in an unknown space and then talk to someone you aren’t familiar with - and on top of this there is an inferred expectation for you to feel safe and be emotionally open.
In fact, recent research backs up better outcomes from on-line sessions - with one report concluding that online therapy led to better progress and was more effective compared to face to face therapy. Similarly, a systematic review in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (Vol. 14, No. 4) stated that results "indicate that e-therapy seems to be at least equivalent to face-to-face therapy".
