Lawrence Akers

Hi, I'm Lawrence from Release Hypnosis!

At Release Hypnosis, my goal is to help people adjust in this ever-changing world that we live in so that they can experience a rich, meaningful existence.

I’ve experienced stress and anxiety first hand and I know how it can impact our lives in so many ways.

I help people to give them strategies and tools to help them deal with the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that hold them back.

To see people experience that shift in their thinking and to step forward into the best version of themselves that they can be is something that gives my work so much meaning.

Why are we so unique?

Release Hypnosis is also one of the few clinical hypnotherapy practices specialising in the unique needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and intersex communities.

I’ve worked with the LGBTQIA+ community over many years, originally as a facilitator for the Victorian AIDS Council ‘Young & Gay’ program and their ‘Boyant’ program. My knowledge of LGBTQIA+ issues comes from years of working with the community as well as my own first hand personal experiences.

I offer one-on-one counselling and hypnotherapy solutions as well as my regular podcast OUTthink which looks at the mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community through special guests and discussion.
