Meet Hayley Peck
Clinical Hypnotherapist & Strategic Psychotherapist
Hayley is a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist & Strategic Psychotherapist based at Beingwell Clinic in Highett, Melbourne. She has supported people on their health and wellbeing journeys for many years, and she is here to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.​​​​​​​​
Hayley's path in holistic health began in 2006, when she spent time abroad in rural villages delivering health education workshops. A year later, Hayley opened a massage therapy practice, helping clients manage stress and find balance in their daily lives. Hayley is also a 500-hour Certified Yoga Teacher, specialising in meditation and gentle breathing practices (pranayama), which she loves to weave into sessions where relevant. Hayley has also worked in the Community Health sector managing people and community programs.
​​​​​
Hayley's journey with hypnotherapy began in 2015 during her first pregnancy, when she trained in Hypno-Birthing. Experiencing the benefits of hypnosis firsthand was transformative, as it revealed the profound influence of the subconscious mind and how deeply it shapes thoughts, emotions, and experiences. That experience sparked a passion to explore this work further, leading Hayley to undertake formal training in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy.
​​
These days Hayley says "it is such a privilege to support clients on their own journeys of healing, growth, and change through this powerful and evidence-based approach.​​​ I love this work and I'm committed to each and every unique individual who walks through the practice door."
How we work together
At Flow Hypnotherapy sessions are collaborative and focused on creating meaningful change in a shorter timeframe. Hayley's approach blends Clinical Hypnotherapy with Strategic Psychotherapy, a modern, evidence-based approach inspired by the work of Milton Erickson and Jay Haley. This approach explores the thought patterns and underlying beliefs that may be maintaining the issue you’re facing. By identifying and shifting these patterns, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible. This approach is solution focused and highly effective.

Beyond the practice
Outside of Flow Hypnotherapy Hayley is a proud mum to two beautiful daughters (and a much-loved fur baby who keeps the family entertained). Hayley is a coffee enthusiast who rarely starts the day without a coffee in hand. She feels most at peace when she is surrounded by nature in quiet outdoor moments - whether it's a quiet walk along her local beach or time spent in the garden.
​​
Hayley is a lifelong learner, always diving into new studies in psychotherapy, trauma informed practices and neuroscience to deepen her understanding of the mind and human experience.
​
As a 500-hour Certified Yoga Teacher, the practice continues to be a grounding influence in Hayley's personal life and professional practice.
​​
Hayley believes in balance - embracing the ups and downs of life and knowing it's perfectly okay not to feel happy all the time. ​Creating space for authenticity, connection, and self-compassion is important to Hayley and she is passionate about sharing this approach with the people she works with.
A therapeutic approach
The Flow Hypnotherapy philosophy is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and collaboration. Hayley prioritizes building a trusting and supportive relationship with clients, tailoring her approach to the unique needs and goals of the individual. By integrating hypnotherapy and breathwork, sessions honor the mind-body connection and aim to address the whole person fostering lasting transformation.
​​
Strategic Psychotherapy is different from other forms of therapy which might focus on unpacking past issues and root causes. In strategic psychotherapy we are more interested in exploring what thought patterns and internal beliefs you might have that could be causing the challenge/issue you are facing and keeping that issue at play. Strategic psychotherapy comes from the work of Milton Erikson and Jay Haley who bought it to the masses and expanded on it.
​
With a compassionate and evidence-based approach, Hayley supports you to tap into your inner resources, unlocking positive transformations for a more fulfilling and balanced life.​
