Kerry Ellis
THE BEST VERSION OF YOU
Kerry started working in banking and finance as a school leaver. From there she moved to a senior management role in Superannuation. Along the way, she realised the toll an unhealthy work-life balance can have on one’s physical and mental health.
Kerry sought her own health tools to help her along her corporate path and realised massage therapy was an intervention she enjoyed. She enjoyed it so much she studied a Diploma of massage therapy, Corporate Stress Therapies and Sports Injury Therapy.
During Kerry’s 20-year term as a massage therapist, she realised there were other modalities and ways of working with people to help them along their path in life. Kerry studied a Bachelor of Counselling and Applied Social Science, later adding Certificate of Life Coaching and a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
Kerry identified a pattern in the stories her clients were sharing. That was, no matter the reason clients sought help, the majority of clients had feelings of Low Self Esteem and Low Self Worth. Kerry found that by helping clients feel better about themselves, they are more empowered and better positioned to find answers and roads to be the “captain of their own ship” – able to control their paths and make suitable life choices.
Along the way, Kerry understood that some clients didn’t need counselling, they just needed assistance creating and focusing on life goals. This led Kerry to continuing study in Life Coaching.
Forever the motivated practitioner eager to find any way possible to help clients, Kerry studied Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP where she describes this as an opportunity to add another “tool to her toolbox” when searching for ways to help clients. Kerry believes a one size fits all approach does not work for anyone, and being skilled at offering different ways of working with clients was essential to client welfare and successful outcomes.
“My passion is helping people to feel better about themselves in a safe, supportive environment.”

I'm Annie Walker, the proud owner and certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Master NLP Practitioner and Life Coach with over a decade of successful operation in the field. My journey has been shaped by extensive training with some of the world's best hypnotists and hypnotherapists, ensuring I bring a unique blend of experience and a wealth of knowledge to every session, ensuring that you receive the best care on your journey to positive change. I've also had the privilege of publishing insightful works, including the "Drop a Dress Size Recipe eBook," "Rapid Street Hypnosis - How to Learn Street Hypnosis in One Hour or Less," and the "10 Powerful Influencing Tools Course."
Your journey is personalised and confidential. I believe in getting to the heart of the matter, and understanding 'how' you "do" the problem rather than dwelling on 'why' it exists. Much like addressing a thorn in your foot, I focus on removing the obstacle and facilitating rapid, effective change at the unconscious level.
Hypnotherapy, under my guidance, is not just a talk-fest; it's a solution-based therapy that delves into the unconscious to facilitate rapid and effective change. I'm here to help you free yourself from old behaviours that have been holding you back or keeping you stuck.
What makes working with me unique is the friendly yet direct approach I employ in our sessions. Through confidential consultations and individually tailored programs, we collaborate to identify the root of your challenges and create a roadmap for positive transformation. My real-life experience has taught me the significance of addressing issues so that you can live the life you desire.
Join me at Bathurst Hypnotherapy, where solutions meet passion, and your well-being takes centre stage. Let's embark on this transformative journey together, unlocking the potential for positive change.
