About Your Hypnotherapist

“Hi, I'm Arkin Mackay. I'm a dedicated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Strategic Psychotherapist with a career background in Paramedicine and a deep interest in hypnotherapy for anxiety reduction, pain management, palliative care, and holistic wellness.

From years of experience as a First Responder and Advanced Care Paramedic, I've developed a profound understanding of the human body and its response to stress and pain. My decision to move into holistic healthcare and away from emergency medicine was driven by an increasing recognition that we are in the grips of an anxiety epidemic and that stress and anxiety are often one of the key contributors to overall poor health, and a limitation to healing.

I've encountered countless people in the grips of chronic pain conditions, unhappy with the limited options available from Western medicine, and frustrated that they felt their concerns are not being heard. Many say they feel like their doctors have run out of ideas and given up on them. On the other hand, I'm seeing profound benefits and improvements that people are making with Clinical Hypnotherapy, and am excited to realise how many health symptoms and conditions can be vastly improved by this treatment modality.

Moving into this pro-active health and wellness field allows me the time and space to work closely with clients, one on one, to affect lasting change in their lives and impact their overall health enormously. Driven by a fascination with the brain's capabilities, I combine my medical background with a thirst for new knowledge in the ever-growing fields of Clinical Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, and am always seeking ways to more deeply understand the wonderful complexity of human beings.

I firmly believes that everyone is capable of achieving far more than they realize. This belief fuels my dedication to helping clients unlock their full potential and achieve lasting well-being.

Outside of clinic hours, I find inspiration and serenity in the natural environment, and can often be found wandering in forests or kayaking rivers, always with my camera close at hand. I'm an avid book collector, tone deaf music enthusiast, treasure hunter and haphazard gardener.”
