Meet Michael Pattinson
I’ve been practising hypnosis and hypnotherapy in a clinical setting for over 15 years. I was clinically trained at Victoria’s only government-registered hypnotherapy training body, The Academy of Hypnotic Science. I later advanced my expertise under prominent hypnotist Rick Collingwood, earning an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis. I’ve also trained under world-renowned psychologist Dr Gordon Emmerson, founder of Ego State Therapy and Honorary Fellow of Victoria University’s School of Psychology.
- Qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist – Academy of Hypnotic Science (Accredited)
- Advanced Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis – Australian Academy of Hypnosis
- Member – The Australian Hypnosis Alliance
- Ego State Psychotherapist – Trained by Dr Gordon Emmerson
I’ve been a professional member of The Australian Hypnotherapist’s Association (The AHA), Australia’s oldest and most prominent Hypnotherapy Association. This membership requires ongoing professional development and up-to-date training.
What this means is — I didn’t just do a weekend course. I’m known for delivering real results, particularly in public speaking hypnosis and helping clients overcome anxiety.
I’m a proud father of twin boys and a partner to a very patient woman who is tired of finding hypnosis and psychology books all over the house. I’m originally from Peru, where my beautiful mother still lives.
I love Australia — it’s my home. It’s full of good people, excellent coffee, and a great culture. Over the next 10 years, I hope more people come to know evidence-based hypnosis and its powerful ability to help people transform their lives.
