 "As a mother of three and a full-time professional, stress was my middle name. I've found balance and peace I didn't think was possible. The support I have received has been invaluable." 

Jessica W
Teacher
     

 "Before I started working with Neural Nexus, anger was a constant shadow in my life, affecting my relationships, my work, and how I viewed myself. I felt trapped in a cycle I couldn't break out of, reacting to situations in ways I later regretted. From the very first session with Yan, I felt a glimmer of hope. His approach to anger management was unlike anything I'd experienced before. Yan didn't just offer temporary fixes; he worked with me to understand the root of my anger and equipped me with practical tools and strategies to manage it effectively.

About me
The unexpected journey most therapists chose their profession after university. My path was different. At 17, I enlisted as a volunteer in the French military. Over the next two decades, I would serve in:

  • Paratrooper units
  • French National Police
  • Anti-Riot Squad operations
  • Undercover investigations
  • Executive protection details in hostile environments
I learned to read people instantly. To stay calm when chaos erupted. To make split-second decisions that could save lives. 

To manage fear, stress, and adrenaline as tools rather than obstacles. 

What I didn't expect was how all of this would prepare me for my true calling: helping others master their own minds.
From External Battles to Internal Transformation
In 2009, I moved to Australia—a fresh start that would change everything.
While continuing international security work (including deployments to Africa with the US Department of Defense), I began studying the science behind human behaviour and mental resilience.

What fascinated me: The same mental techniques I'd used to stay calm under chaos could be systematically taught to anyone struggling with anxiety, stress, or self-doubt. I pursued formal education in:

  • Bachelor of Cognitive Science
  • Advanced Diploma in Brain and Behaviour
  • Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy
  • Diploma in Counselling
Why My Background Makes the Difference
Understanding Real Pressure: When you tell me you're stressed, I don't just empathise—I've lived extreme stress. This gives me instant credibility with high-performers who feel misunderstood by traditional therapists.

Reading People: Years of reading body language and assessing threats translates to deeply understanding what you're not saying—the real issues beneath the surface symptoms.

Building Resilience: I don't just treat anxiety; I teach you the same resilience-building techniques special forces use—adapted for your life.

Global Perspective: Having operated across continents, I understand cultural differences and the unique challenges of international professionals.
My Approach
I combine three evidence-based modalities:

Clinical Hypnotherapy: Help explore and modify limiting beliefs and automatic patterns of thought and behaviour.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and changing thought patterns that create stress

Neuroscience Application: Understanding how your brain works to create lasting change

Clinical hypnosis uses focused attention, imagery and therapeutic suggestion to help people explore and modify automatic patterns of thought, perception and behaviour. Clients generally remain aware and in control throughout the process.

Services

Improve Focus and Mental Performance

Attention and concentration can be affected by stress, anxiety, fatigue and competing thoughts. Clinical hypnotherapy can be used alongside psychological strategies to support focused attention, mental clarity and more effective cognitive habits. The aim is not to “boost memory” in a magical sense, but to help create the conditions in which attention, learning and performance can function more effectively.

Enhance Communication Skills

Communication is shaped by more than the words we use. Confidence, attention, emotional responses, expectations and learned patterns can all influence how we speak, listen and respond to others. Clinical hypnotherapy and psychological strategies can help explore these automatic patterns and support greater confidence, clarity and flexibility in communication.

Stress and Anxiety Management

Stress and anxiety can affect attention, sleep, emotional regulation and the way we interpret everyday situations. Clinical hypnotherapy and psychological approaches can help explore automatic thoughts, physiological responses and learned patterns that may contribute to these experiences. Treatment focuses on developing greater emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility and practical strategies for responding differently to stress and anxiety.

Support for Pain Management

Pain is influenced by both physical processes and the way the nervous system attends to, interprets and responds to sensory information. Clinical hypnosis may be used as a complementary approach to help some people manage pain-related attention, distress and perception. It is not a substitute for medical assessment or treatment, and unexplained or persistent pain should always be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Habit and Behaviour Change

Some behaviours can become highly automatic, particularly when they are linked to stress, emotion, reward or learned routines. Clinical hypnotherapy can be used alongside psychological approaches to explore triggers, expectations and habitual responses, while supporting the development of alternative patterns of behaviour. For substance dependence or other serious addictions, hypnotherapy should form part of an appropriately coordinated treatment plan rather than replace specialist medical or addiction services.

F.A.Q

Do you really work with international clients, or is this just for Australians?

Absolutely! While I'm based in Sydney, Australia, the majority of my clients are actually international. I currently serve professionals across 15+ countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, UAE, Hong Kong, and throughout Europe. My practice is specifically designed for global delivery—everything from my scheduling system to payment processing to session delivery is optimised for international clients.

What makes you different from local therapists I could see in person?

Several key differences:
  1. Unique Background: My 20+ years in high-stakes military and police operations give me specialised insight into stress, crisis management, and high-performance under pressure that most therapists simply don't have.
  2. Combined Expertise: I integrate clinical hypnotherapy + CBT + neuroscience into a comprehensive approach, rather than using just one modality.
  3. Global Perspective: Having worked internationally across three continents, I understand cultural nuances and the challenges of global professionals.
  4. Specialisation: I focus specifically on helping high-performers, professionals, and executives—not general practice.
  5. Convenience: No commute, no waiting rooms, complete privacy in your own space.
Many international clients choose to work with me specifically because they want specialised expertise that isn't available locally.

How do I know if you can work with clients in my country?

I work with clients in virtually all countries. The only requirements are:
  • Stable internet connection for video sessions
  • English language proficiency (sessions are conducted in English)
  • Legal compliance (you must be 18+ or have parental consent)
During your consultation, we'll confirm that we can work together effectively based on your specific location and needs.

Time Zones & Scheduling

What time zones do you accommodate?
I offer appointments across a wide range of time zones to serve my global clientele. Whether you're in:
  • Americas (EST, CST, MST, PST)
  • Europe (GMT, CET, EET)
  • Asia-Pacific (SGT, HKT, JST, AEDT)
  • Middle East (GST, AST)
We can find appointment times that work for both of us.

I've never done online therapy before. Will it really work?

Yes! Research consistently shows that online therapy is equally effective as in-person sessions for most conditions, including anxiety, stress, depression, and behavioral change. In fact, many clients report feeling more comfortable and open in their own environment.
I've been conducting online hypnotherapy since before the pandemic and have refined the process to be highly effective. You'll receive the same quality of care, personalised attention, and clinical expertise as in-person sessions—with added convenience and privacy.

Final Note


My commitment to international clients:
I understand that choosing to work with a therapist in another country requires trust. You're trusting me with:
  • Your privacy and confidentiality
  • Your time and money
  • Your mental health and wellbeing
  • Your personal stories and vulnerabilities
