I'm Lisa Forsberg, Australia’s most trusted Hypnotherapist for narcissistic and toxic relationship recovery
Internationally Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
Award winning Hypnotherapist
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Therapist
Trauma Informed Life Coach
International Speaker
I specialise in helping adults, teens and children to release unhelpful and unwanted beliefs and patterns
For many clients, that stems from the pain and trauma of living with a toxic partner or family member.
For others, it’s linked to anxiety, depression, low confidence and self doubt that presents as fears, phobias and unwanted habits.
Together, we can use the power of Hypnotherapy to help you create a new chapter in your life.
I offer in-person hypnotherapy sessions in Cockatoo and Ferntree Gully (Victoria) and online hypnotherapy for clients across Australia or elsewhere in the world.
I combine my expertise with my own experiences of recovering from a narcissistic relationship
I specialise in this work for a very personal reason.
I’ve experienced the pain and trauma of living with a narcissistic partner after spending years in a relationship characterised by physical, emotional and financial abuse.
I managed to pull myself out of the situation, despite being emotionally drained from the experience and struggling with all of the confusion, self doubt, low self worth, anxiety and depression that came with it.
Time passed and life got much better. I met and married my best friend and moved to the country with our girls.
But the deep scars remained. I was stressed, permanently on edge, unable to relax or feel fully present with my children, constantly tired and always anticipating the next disaster to deal with.
Hypnotherapy was the turning point that gave me back my life. In fact, Hypnotherapy gave me back the peace that I had missed for so long.
It’s no exaggeration to say it changed my life in every single way and enabled me to become the happy, relaxed, confident and passionate person and Hypnotherapist I am today.
This transformation led me to channel my energy into supporting women who have been similarly impacted by the trauma of a toxic relationship with a partner, friend, colleague or family member.
So you too can break free from feeling lost, confused, anxious, depressed and overwhelmed and no longer be defined by your experience.
I can help you to break free from anxiety and other unhealthy & unhelpful patterns too
Not every client is recovering from a narcissistic or toxic relationship or trauma.
But most of my clients choose to work with me to break free from something and that also involves overcoming unhealthy or unhelpful behaviours and habits, fears, phobias and anxieties.
Whether you want to lose weight, quit smoking or alcohol, stop eating sugar or overcome a fear of flying, Hypnotherapy can support you to change your thoughts and behaviours and help you to create a different future for yourself.
I also do a lot of work with teenage clients to manage anxiety and build confidence and self esteem.
Speaking engagements & media/press features
I contribute my expertise to media features, broadcast opportunities, professional conferences, interviews, podcast interviews and awareness campaigns focused on supporting survivors of abuse (especially narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships) and more broadly on trauma, anxiety, depression and mental wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Me & Hypnotherapy With The Healthy Hypnotherapist
-
I specialise in narcissistic abuse recovery because I’m a survivor of narcissistic abuse. I know the uniquely devastating impact of this type of abuse. It’s an invisible trauma that so often shatters your self worth and leaves you questioning your own sanity.
When working through my own healing journey, I realized that many traditional therapy models weren’t able to help me to fully recover from narcissistic abuse. Trauma informed hypnotherapy was the solution that helped me to release the deep-seated emotional patterns linked to my experiences and reclaim the parts of myself that I thought were lost forever.
I chose to specialise in recovery from narcissistic abuse and trauma to be the guide I would have loved to have in my corner. My mission is to provide a clear, effective and compassionate path for others, helping them to bypass years of confusion and pain. I want to help you to break free from the cycle of abuse and empower you to rebuild your life with confidence, peace and a profound sense of self-trust.

Having navigated my own recovery from a toxic, narcissistic relationship, I combine my clinical understanding of anxiety, self-doubt and trauma with the fact that I have deeply felt them, lived them and found my way through them on a personal level.
This journey taught me three crucial things that I bring into every hypnotherapy session:
Genuine Empathy: I know what it’s like to feel lost, confused and disconnected from yourself. I can sit with you in those feelings with true empathy because I have been there myself.
The Importance of Safety: I understand the deep need for a safe, compassionate space to heal. My first priority is to create an environment where you feel seen, heard and completely supported at every step of your journey.
Unwavering Belief in Your Recovery: My own transformation is a testament to the fact that healing is both possible and achievable. It fuels my passion and provides me with a unique insight into the tools and support that can create lasting change and healing.
My work isn’t just a profession; it’s a calling born from my own journey back to myself..
