Hi, I’m Corinne Nijjer
Clinical Hypnotherapist and creator of the Leading Minds Breakthrough Method
I help people resolve anxiety, emotional triggers and limiting beliefs at their subconscious root, so they can experience lasting emotional freedom, confidence and clarity.
I am a clinical hypnotherapist based in Upwey in the Dandenong Ranges, providing professional clinical hypnotherapy for anxiety, stress, trauma and emotional wellbeing for clients across Melbourne and online throughout Australia.
My path into clinical hypnotherapy began through my own healing journey
In my late teens and early twenties, I struggled with anxiety, depression, obesity and multiple autoimmune conditions, including Multiple Sclerosis. Living with chronic illness and emotional distress, I experienced firsthand how deeply subconscious patterns can affect both emotional and physical wellbeing.
The turning point came when I realised that lasting change required addressing the subconscious mind directly, not just managing symptoms on the surface.
Through clinical hypnotherapy, subconscious change work and nervous system regulation, I was able to resolve the emotional patterns that had been driving my health and emotional challenges. This experience transformed my life and became the foundation of the work I now offer my clients.
Clinical hypnotherapy works by resolving patterns at the subconscious level
Many of the emotional and behavioural patterns that affect your life, including anxiety, emotional triggers, self-doubt and stress, are driven by subconscious processes formed earlier in life.
Clinical hypnotherapy allows us to access the subconscious mind and resolve these stored emotional imprints and limiting beliefs at their origin. As these patterns are released, the nervous system resets naturally, allowing lasting emotional and behavioural change to occur.
This is not about managing symptoms. It is about resolving the underlying pattern so it no longer returns.
Creator of the Leading Minds Breakthrough Method
I developed the Leading Minds Breakthrough Method as a structured clinical hypnotherapy process designed to identify and resolve subconscious emotional patterns and limiting beliefs at their root.
This method integrates clinical hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy®, nervous system recalibration, and subconscious restructuring to create lasting identity-level change.
Through personalised 1:1 Breakthrough Programs, I work with clients to resolve anxiety, emotional triggers, behavioural patterns and subconscious blocks that have been holding them back.
Clients commonly seek support for:
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Emotional overwhelm and nervous system dysregulation
• Limiting beliefs and self-doubt
• Trauma and unresolved emotional experiences
• Emotional eating and behavioural patterns
• Sleep difficulties and subconscious tension
• Confidence and performance challenges
Helping clients across Melbourne and online throughout Australia
I work with clients in person in Upwey and across the Dandenong Ranges, including Belgrave, Ferntree Gully, Knoxfield and Rowville, as well as online with clients across Melbourne and throughout Australia.
My podcast, sharing stories of healing and transformation, has been downloaded more than 200,000 times, and I have had the privilege of helping clients from diverse backgrounds create lasting emotional and behavioural change.

Create lasting change by resolving patterns at their subconscious root
I have helped hundreds of clients across Melbourne and around the world, including professionals, business owners, creatives and leaders, resolve anxiety, emotional triggers and limiting beliefs that had been holding them back for years.
Many clients come to clinical hypnotherapy after trying other approaches without achieving lasting change. This is because real transformation requires working directly with the subconscious mind, where emotional patterns and behavioural responses are formed.
Through personalised one-to-one Breakthrough Programs, we identify and resolve these subconscious emotional imprints and limiting beliefs at their origin, allowing your nervous system to reset and new patterns of calm, confidence and emotional freedom to emerge naturally.
As these subconscious patterns are released, you are no longer controlled by old emotional responses. Instead, you are able to think clearly, respond calmly, and move forward with confidence and stability.

The experience that shaped my work as a clinical hypnotherapist
My commitment to helping others resolve emotional suffering and subconscious patterns is deeply personal.
My brother Brett was born with Muscular Dystrophy, a progressive muscle-wasting condition that required lifelong care. Witnessing his strength in the face of profound physical limitation, and later experiencing the grief of losing him at the age of 25, profoundly shaped my understanding of emotional resilience, loss and the human nervous system’s capacity to endure.
During this same period, I was facing my own health challenges, living with Fibromyalgia and Multiple Sclerosis, alongside severe anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and behavioural patterns that left me feeling trapped and powerless.
In August 2008, at the age of 28, I woke unable to feel my legs.
After years of neurological symptoms, this moment represented the full reality of how deeply my nervous system and subconscious patterns had been affected by prolonged emotional and physiological stress.
It was also the moment that forced a fundamental shift.
I realised that lasting change would require addressing the underlying emotional patterns and subconscious processes that had been shaping my thoughts, behaviours and nervous system responses for years.
This marked the beginning of my commitment to understanding how subconscious emotional imprints influence both emotional wellbeing and physical health.
Through clinical hypnotherapy, subconscious change work and nervous system regulation, I was able to resolve the emotional patterns that had been driving my anxiety, behavioural patterns and internal distress.
Today, more than 15 years later, I remain in remission and live with a level of emotional stability, clarity and wellbeing that once felt impossible.
Professional experience that shaped my understanding of the mind
My path into clinical hypnotherapy was also shaped by more than a decade of professional experience working directly with individuals facing complex physical, neurological and psychological challenges.
As a teenager, I completed my Year 10 work experience placement in an acute geriatric psychiatric ward, where I was first exposed to the profound ways emotional trauma, neurological conditions and subconscious processes affect behaviour, identity and wellbeing.
At the age of 18, I began working as a personal carer in one of Melbourne’s last remaining institutional care settings, supporting individuals with severe disabilities and complex needs. I continued working in the disability sector for more than 10 years, gaining deep insight into the emotional, behavioural and psychological patterns that shape a person’s experience of themselves and the world.
This work was followed by roles in social work and secondary education, where I continued to support individuals navigating emotional, behavioural and psychological challenges.
Across these roles, one question consistently stood out to me:
Why do some people remain trapped in patterns of suffering, while others are able to create profound and lasting change?
This question ultimately became the foundation of my clinical work and led me to train in clinical hypnotherapy and subconscious change processes.
Today, this combination of lived experience, clinical training and years of professional work supporting individuals through profound life challenges allows me to understand deeply how subconscious emotional patterns form and how they can be safely and effectively resolved.
Why this matters for my clients
This combination of lived experience, professional training and clinical practice allows me to understand deeply how subconscious emotional patterns shape thoughts, behaviours and nervous system responses.
Through clinical hypnotherapy, these subconscious emotional imprints and limiting beliefs can be safely identified and resolved at their origin, allowing lasting emotional and behavioural change to occur.
This understanding became the foundation of my work as a clinical hypnotherapist and led to the development of the Leading Minds Breakthrough Method, a structured clinical hypnotherapy process designed to resolve anxiety, emotional triggers and limiting beliefs at their subconscious root.
My mission today
Today, I work with clients across Melbourne, the Dandenong Ranges and online throughout Australia through personalised Breakthrough Programs designed to create lasting subconscious change.
I help clients resolve anxiety, emotional triggers and long-standing behavioural patterns so they can experience greater emotional stability, confidence and clarity.
My work integrates clinical hypnotherapy, subconscious change processes and nervous system regulation to create stable, lasting transformation.
