# Inspiring Changes (Christchurch)

Inspiring Changes is a therapeutic practice led by Nicolette Pinkney, an experienced psychotherapist, counsellor and hypnotherapist with over 16 years in the field. Based in Christchurch, the practice offers both in-person and online therapy services to adults, children and teenagers navigating life's challenges.

The practice specialises in helping clients overcome anxiety, addiction, confidence issues, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties through evidence-based talking therapies and hypnosis. Nicolette employs a pluralistic approach, combining person-centred, solution-focused, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic methodologies to tailor treatment to individual needs.

What distinguishes Inspiring Changes is its comprehensive therapeutic toolkit. Beyond conventional counselling, the practice uniquely offers hypnotherapy—the only talking therapy operating at the unconscious mind level—alongside complementary approaches including EMDR, NLP, Past Life Regression and Reiki. This breadth allows clients to access integrated, multi-modal treatment pathways rather than single-modality therapy.

The practice prioritises the therapeutic relationship, offering free preliminary consultations to ensure clients feel genuinely comfortable with their therapist before committing to sessions. This client-centred philosophy permeates every aspect of service delivery.

Additionally, Inspiring Changes extends its expertise through professional training. In partnership with PSI Training, the practice delivers a full Hypno-Psychotherapy diploma course alongside introductory evening and weekend classes, enabling others to develop practitioner-level competency in the field.
