My name is Michael Manning. I am a registered professional hypnotherapist with a clinic in Castle Hill. I also offer appointments via tele-health which has been especially popular during the current lockdown. I cover all aspects of hypnotherapy with a particular interest in the treatment of anxiety and performance enhancement, both academic and sport. My hypnotherapy clinic focuses on improving your well being and making you the best you can be. My area of interest is in anxiety and enhancing cognitive and sport performance. My interest in the sub-conscious’ ability to overcome anxiety led me to undertake a PhD through UNSW where I am currently researching ‘The effect of startle and surprise events on pilot’s cognitive performance.
