What is Between Versions?

Between Versions is a hypnotherapy-led practice focused on internal recalibration during transition.

(you can read more about the foundation of the work on the About page).

This work helps high-functioning individuals recalibrate the internal patterns shaping how they think, decide, and operate — so they can move through change with clarity, stability, and readiness.

It is not coaching.
It is not traditional talk therapy.
It is not mindset work.

Hypnotherapy sits at the core of the method and is used in a structured, grounded way to update subconscious and identity-level patterns that no longer match a person’s current reality.

Who is this work for?

This work is for high-functioning individuals in transition.

Who I help with hypnotherapy:

  • High-functioning professionals and leaders

  • Individuals experiencing internal friction despite capability

  • People seeking clarity, emotional stability, and readiness for what’s next

They are:

  • externally capable

  • internally overloaded or misaligned

  • navigating a point where identity, responsibility, or direction has shifted

Clients are not broken.
They are not in crisis.
They are at a threshold.

The work is best suited to people who value clarity, structure, and root-cause change — and who are ready to work beneath surface behaviour.

Who is this not for?

Between Versions is not the right fit if you are looking for:

  • Motivation or encouragement

  • Quick fixes or emotional catharsis

  • Advice, strategies, or performance coaching

  • Ongoing talk therapy for processing past experiences

This work is also not appropriate for acute mental health crises.
If you are unsure, this is always clarified carefully and responsibly before proceeding.

What problems does this work help with?

This work supports people experiencing:

  • Mental noise and decision fatigue

  • Emotional overload despite external competence

  • Identity shifts during life or role transitions

  • Loss of clarity or direction

  • Inconsistent behaviour under pressure

  • Feeling disconnected from who they used to be

This is not a capability issue.
It is an internal capacity and clarity mismatch.

The work addresses the internal patterns creating that mismatch.

How is this different from coaching?

Coaching works primarily at the conscious level — goals, behaviour, accountability, mindset.

Between Versions works at the subconscious and identity level.

Rather than trying to change behaviour directly, the work recalibrates the internal patterns that generate behaviour.

When internal patterns change:

  • Clarity improves

  • Emotional regulation strengthens

  • Behaviour becomes consistent without force

This is why clients often say, “Wow… that was different.”

How is this different from traditional therapy?

Traditional therapy often focuses on:

  • Processing experiences

  • Understanding emotions

  • Exploring narratives over time

Between Versions focuses on:

  • Internal regulation

  • Identity-level recalibration

  • Behavioural alignment in the present

The work is structured, intentional, and oriented toward creating immediate internal stability and clarity — not ongoing emotional processing.

What role does hypnotherapy play?

Hypnotherapy is the core mechanism of the work.

It is used to:

  • Access subconscious patterns that logic cannot shift

  • Update identity-level responses formed under previous conditions

  • Reduce internal noise at the source

  • Restore emotional regulation and internal steadiness

Hypnotherapy here is:

  • Evidence-informed

  • Collaborative and client-led

  • Focused on regulation and recalibration — not performance or emotional release

There is nothing theatrical, mystical, or suggestive about the process.

What actually happens in a session?

Sessions follow the Between Versions method:

Uncover → Recalibrate → Embody

  • Uncover: We identify the internal patterns shaping your current experience.

  • Recalibrate: Hypnotherapy is used to update patterns that no longer match your reality.

  • Embody: Clarity, stability, and aligned behaviour become the new baseline.

Clients typically leave feeling:

  • Clearer

  • Lighter

  • More internally steady

  • Certain about their next step

Will I be “out of control” during hypnotherapy?

No.

You remain aware, present, and in control throughout the session.

Hypnotherapy is a focused state of attention — similar to being deeply absorbed in a task — not unconsciousness.

You can speak, pause, or stop at any time.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on:

  • The patterns involved

  • The depth of the transition

  • Your internal capacity and readiness

Many clients experience significant shifts within a small number of sessions because the work operates at the root.

This is discussed transparently and collaboratively — there is no pressure.

Is this emotional or intense?

The work is regulating, not overwhelming.

Emotional responses may arise, but they are not the goal.

The aim is:

  • Stability

  • Clarity

  • Internal alignment

Clients often describe the experience as calm, precise, and relieving rather than emotionally charged.

Do I need to know what’s “wrong” before starting?

No.

Many clients come in knowing something feels off, but not being able to articulate it.

Part of the work is naming what your system already knows — and recalibrating from there.

You do not need the right language.
You do not need a clear story.
You just need readiness.

Is this evidence-informed?

Yes.

The work integrates:

  • Neuroscience-informed understanding of the nervous system

  • Subconscious patterning

  • Emotional regulation principles

  • Identity-level behavioural psychology

It avoids hype, ungrounded claims, and surface-level personal development language.

Do you work online or in person?

Sessions are primarily delivered online, allowing clients to work from a familiar, regulated environment.

In-person sessions may be available by request.

The work is equally effective in both formats.

How do I know if this is the right next step?

If you resonate with the experience of:

  • Being externally capable but internally overloaded

  • Feeling like something is shifting beneath the surface

  • Wanting clarity, not motivation

  • Knowing what used to work no longer works

Then this is likely the right kind of work — even if the timing needs to be clarified.

What is the first step?

The first step is a clarity-based conversation to assess fit, readiness, and direction.

There is no pressure, no sales process, and no obligation.

Just clarity.

If your system is asking for clarity, it’s not a weakness.


It’s a signal that your system is ready to recalibrate.
