I built ARCHĒA for the person who already understands themselves.

The one who can explain the pattern. Name the trigger. Trace the history. See exactly what they are doing. And still find themselves reacting the same way when it matters.

Knowing is not always the same as changing.

That idea sits at the centre of ARCHĒA.

I am interested in the space between intellectually understanding a pattern and actually experiencing something different when that pattern is activated.

That is where Root Cause Therapy comes in.

My approach

ARCHĒA combines focused conversation with hypnosis and subconscious pattern work.

The method draws on techniques and ideas associated with hypnosis, cognitive and behavioural approaches, NLP-style reframing, guided dialogue and belief work.

The purpose is not to spend the entire session talking around the problem.

It is to explore the experiences, beliefs and emotional associations that may sit underneath it.

The people I tend to work with

Often, they are highly self-aware.

They have already thought about the problem extensively.

They may have journalled, read, listened, analysed, coached or gone to therapy before.

They are not looking for another explanation.

They are looking for the response itself to change.

Why the name ARCHĒA?

ARCHĒA comes from the idea of returning to the beginning.

Not because you are broken.

Because a response usually made sense somewhere.

The work is about understanding what it learned, what it came to mean and whether that meaning still belongs in your life now.

Where I work

I am based in Brisbane, Australia.

ARCHĒA sessions are conducted online via Zoom and are available worldwide.

Scope

ARCHĒA does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric or emergency care and does not replace support from appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.
