Clive Westwood Hypnotherapy Brisbane
How my journey began
From Silent Struggle to National Specialist
The Inspirational Journey of Clive Westwood — Australia's Leading Anxiety Hypnotherapy Specialist
Clive Westwood is living proof that your darkest moments can become the foundation for your greatest purpose. Today, he stands as one of Australia’s most respected and influential hypnotherapy specialists, recognized for his unwavering dedication to helping others overcome anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. But Clive’s path was anything but easy — it was carved from the depths of personal pain, relentless self-doubt, and a powerful decision to transform or perish.
At just 16, Clive began a journey of self-help not out of curiosity, but out of necessity. Born in southeast England and shaped by a traumatic childhood filled with crushing anxiety, depression, and daily panic attacks, he felt invisible, broken, and lost. Even the simplest acts — smiling in a photo, making a phone call, saying hello — felt impossible. He lived in constant fear, trapped in a mind that told him he was unworthy, unlovable, and unsafe.
Moving to Australia at 22 brought a change in location but not in emotion. His anxiety followed. Yet instead of surrendering, Clive decided he had two options: transform or die trying. He immersed himself in the world of self-development, studied every book he could find, experimented with countless therapies, and still—nothing truly worked.
Until hypnosis.
It wasn’t just a practice. It was the lifeline that saved his life. Through a fusion of mindfulness and hypnosis, Clive discovered how to quiet his racing mind, unlock confidence, and reconnect with his true self. He devoted every spare moment to mastering it — not just to heal himself, but to eventually help others who felt just as lost.
Today, Clive Westwood has used hypnosis to help tens of thousands of people around the world reclaim their peace, power, and potential. He is recognized as the first anxiety hypnotherapy specialist in Australia — a pioneer in his field. His work has been featured on Today Tonight, 9 News, 2GB Radio, and ABC Morning Radio. He’s earned multiple hypnotherapy awards, and was hand-picked as one of the Top 3 Hypnotherapists in Adelaide and Brisbane by ThreeBestRated.
Clive offers one-on-one sessions, group hypnotherapy, demonstration videos, guided hypnosis audios, and downloadable meditations — all grounded in advanced evidence-based techniques. Trained by the Institute of Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy in Australia and renowned schools across the UK, Clive insists on only using methods backed by proven results — both his own and those of leading experts.
What makes Clive different isn’t just his training — it’s his empathy. He doesn’t guess what anxiety feels like. He knows. And it’s that personal journey that fuels his mission: to guide people out of their own emotional prisons and into a life of calm, courage, and confidence.
Clive now leads a thriving hypnotherapy practice in Brisbane, supported by a handpicked team who share his vision for transformation. With over two decades of personal experience and professional expertise, he has become a beacon of hope for anyone ready to rewrite their story.
