" Patient Experience
I wasn't an alcoholic. I just drank every night, and a lot more on weekends. I'd tried cutting back a hundred times and it never held. Jeremy didn't make me feel like a failure. He just got underneath why I kept reaching for it, and something actually shifted.

A different path out of drinking

You already know you want to change. You may have tried willpower, Dry July, support groups, or simply cutting back, and something keeps pulling you back to the same drinking pattern. For many patients, alcohol has become the automatic response to stress, emotional overwhelm, social situations, or the way their subconscious has learned to relax.

A woman at peace, representing a new relationship with alcohol after Hypnosis

Most of my alcohol patients have already tried willpower. The work is not to push harder against the drinking. It is to find what the drinking is really doing for you, and build something better in its place.

Jeremy Walker, Certified Hypnotherapist

Jeremy's three-session Alcohol Program works directly with the subconscious pattern, not your willpower.

Hypnotherapy works at a deep level of your psyche, where you identify as someone who needs a drink to relax, unwind or feel confident. Your conscious willpower is forced to fight behaviours that have been learned and reinforced over years.

Hypnosis gives you direct access to your subconscious mind, where the triggers, alcohol cravings, identity and emotional loops behind your drinking are stored. Jeremy helps you reshape those patterns rather than trying to suppress or fight them.

Why we call it Hypnosis for Alcohol, not Hypnosis for Alcoholism or Alcohol Addiction

Jeremy Walker deliberately avoids the words alcoholism, addict and alcoholic when he talks about this work. Those labels carry heavy identity, and most of the patients Jeremy sees do not recognise themselves in them. They are professional, capable, high-functioning adults who have simply developed a drinking problem they no longer want.

Removing the label makes it far easier to look at the pattern honestly and change it. The work is just as effective whether you would describe yourself as having alcoholism, alcohol addiction, alcohol use disorder, alcohol dependency, alcohol abuse or simply a drinking habit you want to shift. Jeremy welcomes patients across the full range.

Do you see yourself in either of these patients?

Two patterns come up most often in Jeremy's Hypnosis for Alcohol work. They look very different on the surface, but the underlying subconscious drivers are similar.

Both profiles benefit from a tailored Wellness Plan that addresses not just the drinking, but the thought patterns, coping strategies and self-esteem questions underneath it.

Profile One

The nightly wind-down drinker

A significant portion of Jeremy's alcohol patients are high-functioning professionals in their 30s, 40s and 50s who drink most nights of the week. It starts with one glass of wine while cooking dinner, and by 10pm the bottle is gone. The pattern has crept up over years and now feels automatic.

These patients rarely binge. They rarely get drunk in public. But the drinking is daily, it has become the way they switch off, and the total weekly consumption is far higher than they would admit out loud. They want to cut back or stop without making their whole social world revolve around not drinking.

Profile Two

The binge drinking weekender

Jeremy also sees many patients whose drinking is concentrated in heavy weekend binge drinking sessions. They may not drink at all Monday to Thursday, but Friday night, Saturday night and sometimes Sunday are written off. The following days are lost to hangovers, regret and anxiety.

These patients often know their binge drinking is damaging their health, their relationships and their mental state, but the social rituals around drinking make it feel impossible to break. Jeremy's approach helps them change the subconscious hold binge drinking has, without having to quit their social life.

Jeremy's lived experience with addiction

Jeremy Walker is open about his own past challenges with addictive patterns. His Hypnosis for Alcohol work is not built from a textbook. It is built from his own recovery process and more than 15 years of walking alongside other people through theirs. The Walker Addiction Removal Process (WARP) was developed from the inside out, starting with what actually worked for Jeremy himself.

That lived experience shapes everything about the way Jeremy works. The conversations are grounded in real understanding, not clinical distance. Sessions are free of judgement, because Jeremy has been on the other side of the chair. The program is realistic about how drinking actually plays out in a person's life, including the shame, the secrecy, and the fear of being discovered by a family member or colleague.

Many patients tell Jeremy that his lived experience was the reason they were willing to book in the first place. If you have never felt able to talk openly about your drinking with a trained hypnotherapist or any health professional, Jeremy's background may be what lets you finally do that.

"Alcohol is rarely the real problem. It is usually the solution the subconscious has learned for something else. Hypnosis lets us work with that directly, without the judgement or the willpower battle that normally comes with trying to stop."

Jeremy Walker, Certified Hypnotherapist, Brisbane Livewell Clinic

The self-esteem, mindset and emotional connection

Jeremy's work with alcohol almost always includes mindset, self-esteem and past experiences. In his clinical experience, drinking is rarely about the alcohol itself. It is almost always the subconscious solution to something else: emotional pain, past experiences, low self-worth, social anxiety, or the relentless pressure of high-performing work.

If the drinking is addressed without addressing what sits underneath it, the pattern tends to come back, either with alcohol or with another outlet.

Jeremy's approach blends Hypnosis with mindset work, stress management and mindfulness techniques, helping patients rebuild a steadier, kinder relationship with themselves. Many patients find that as self-esteem improves, the pull toward alcohol quietly fades. Old coping strategies are replaced by healthier responses, with positive changes in decision-making and day-to-day emotional regulation.

A patient in a state of deep relaxation during a Hypnosis session

Does Hypnosis really work for alcohol?

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for changing your relationship with alcohol. Jeremy's patients routinely report significant positive changes from their first or second session. Unlike conventional methods that rely heavily on willpower, Hypnosis addresses the subconscious mind directly, where alcohol cravings, triggers and automatic responses actually live.

During Hypnosis sessions, Jeremy guides you into a state of deep relaxation using relaxation techniques and mindfulness. In this hypnotic state, the conscious mind quiets down and your subconscious becomes more open to positive suggestions and therapeutic suggestions that reshape the patterns behind your drinking. You remain fully aware and in control throughout.

Jeremy's holistic approach combines Clinical Hypnosis concepts with Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Motivational Interviewing and psychosomatic awareness, giving patients multiple angles of support in a single Hypnotherapy framework.

How Hypnosis for Alcohol works

Jeremy's approach is structured and practical, drawing on Clinical Hypnosis concepts, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Motivational Interviewing. You remain fully aware and in control at every point. This is not stage hypnosis or group hypnosis, it is one-on-one intensive therapy.

1

Understand the pattern

Jeremy maps your triggers, past experiences and alcohol goal in the first session.

2

Deep relaxation

You are guided into a calm trance state using relaxation techniques, similar to just before sleep.

3

Subconscious work

Positive suggestions reshape thought patterns, identity and drinking habits at their root causes.

4

Reinforce change

Each session builds on the last, locking in positive changes and long-term recovery.

What to expect across your three-session Stop Drinking Alcohol Program

Learn how Jeremy's Alcohol Program works in practice, session by session.

Session 1: Initial consultation and first Hypnosis session

Your first session runs for 60 minutes. Jeremy takes a detailed history of your drinking, your triggers, any previous treatment you have tried, and your specific alcohol goal, whether that is full sobriety, reduced intake or the elimination of binge drinking. You will then move into your first Hypnosis session, which lays the foundation for the subconscious work that follows. Most patients notice a shift within days.

Session 2: Targeted Hypnosis

Jeremy works with the specific challenges that have come up in your week, reinforces the new coping strategies established in session one, and begins addressing self-esteem, identity and any underlying emotional or mindset patterns in deeper detail. Hypnosis sessions are tailored, not templated.

Session 3: Reinforcement and relapse prevention

The final Hypnosis session locks in the changes and builds relapse prevention. Jeremy works with any remaining triggers, reinforces the new identity, and sets you up to maintain the shift confidently. Many patients describe this session as the point where the positive changes feel permanent. Jeremy may also teach simple self-hypnosis techniques you can use at home to maintain your new relationship with alcohol.

Between sessions and beyond

Patients typically notice changes within the week between Hypnosis sessions. Alcohol cravings feel quieter. Trigger situations become easier to navigate. After the Alcohol Program, some patients are done. Others book occasional tune-up sessions on a monthly, six-monthly or yearly basis, particularly around high-risk times of year, major life transitions, or social periods like Christmas.

The WARP Method

Jeremy has researched and proven the Walker Addiction Removal Process, known as the WARP Method, across more than 15 years of clinical practice and his own recovery. It is a structured framework he developed by combining Clinical Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming at Master Practitioner level, and psychosomatic awareness. Patients often describe it as a powerful tool for addressing the root causes of their drinking rather than just the symptoms.

WARP is designed to identify and interrupt the subconscious triggers behind compulsive drinking by looking at the full loop: the trigger (stress, emotion, environment, social cue, memory), the learned response (reaching for a drink), the reward the subconscious is chasing (relief, escape, connection, confidence), and the identity that holds the pattern in place.

Jeremy introduced the method publicly in his book Freedom From Addiction, which patients can purchase on Amazon or buy from the Wavell Heights clinic. The WARP Method also underpins Jeremy's Addiction Hypnotherapy work for behavioural patterns

Patient success stories

Patient case study examples from Jeremy's Hypnosis for Alcohol work, covering patients across a range of drinking patterns and goals.

Case Study
"I'd been drinking a bottle of wine a night for ten years. I wasn't an alcoholic. I was a mum, a professional, I functioned. But I knew it was too much. Jeremy didn't preach. He just worked out what was actually driving it. Four months alcohol-free and I genuinely don't want it."
Este K., Patient
Case Study
"The binge drinking on weekends was destroying my Mondays. I'd tried cutting back a hundred times. Jeremy found the underlying anxiety I was actually trying to drown and addressed it directly. I've had three drinks in the last six months and none of them turned into twenty."
Mark H., Patient
Case Study
"I didn't want to quit completely. I wanted a sane relationship with alcohol. Jeremy respected that from the start. Three sessions later, I have one glass some nights, none most nights, and I'm in control of it rather than the other way round."
Priya N., Patient
Case Study
"I tried AA, I tried Dry July, I tried counselling. Nothing stuck. A friend recommended Jeremy because he'd been through it himself. Something about that made me finally willing to be honest. That session changed things. I've been sober for over a year."
Dan L., Patient

Medicare and private health insurance

Some private health insurers offer rebates on Hypnotherapy under extras cover, so it is worth checking with your fund.

Unfortunately Medicare does not currently cover Hypnotherapy. For this investment, however, our patients often find their broader mental health issues lessen in severity alongside the alcohol work, which can reduce long-term spending on medical care and medications.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you call it Hypnosis for Alcohol rather than Hypnosis for Alcoholism or Alcohol Addiction?
Jeremy deliberately avoids the labels alcoholism, addict and alcoholic in how he talks about this work. Those words carry heavy identity, and most of the patients Jeremy sees do not recognise themselves in them. Many are professional, capable, high-functioning adults who have simply developed a drinking problem they no longer want. The work Jeremy does is just as effective for patients seeking help with alcoholism, alcohol addiction, alcohol use disorder, alcohol dependency, alcohol abuse or alcohol misuse, because the underlying subconscious change is the same.
Can Hypnosis help me stop drinking alcohol?
Yes. Hypnosis helps by addressing the root cause of the drinking at the subconscious level, not by relying on willpower. Most patients find their alcohol cravings reduce, trigger situations feel easier, and the pull toward drinking fades across the three-session program. Hypnosis to stop drinking is effective for patients wanting full sobriety, reduced intake, or the elimination of binge drinking patterns.
Do I have to stop drinking completely, or can I just cut back?
Jeremy sees as many patients who want to cut back their daily or weekly alcohol consumption as patients who want to stop completely. He works to your goal, not a predetermined outcome. Some patients want full sobriety, others want controlled drinking in social situations, others want to eliminate binge patterns while keeping an occasional drink. The Alcohol Program is tailored around what a healthier relationship with alcohol looks like for you.
Does Hypnosis actually work for alcohol?
Hypnosis works by addressing the subconscious patterns that drive drinking. For many patients, those patterns are tied to stress relief, emotional overwhelm, social habits, self-esteem, or long-held beliefs about alcohol. Once the underlying drivers are identified and worked with using positive suggestions in a relaxed state, the conscious effort to cut back or stop becomes significantly easier.
How many Hypnosis sessions do I need?
Jeremy offers a three-session Alcohol Program as the standard pathway for most patients. The first session is an initial consultation and first Hypnosis session, followed by two targeted follow-up sessions. Some patients choose to book occasional tune-up sessions afterwards on a monthly, six-monthly or yearly basis to reinforce their long-term change.
Is Hypnosis for Alcohol available online?
Yes. Jeremy offers Hypnosis for Alcohol online via secure videoconference across Australia. Online sessions are as effective as in-clinic work and many patients prefer the privacy and comfort of their own home. You can book online and Jeremy will confirm videoconference details before the first session.
How much does Hypnosis for Alcohol cost in Brisbane?
The three-session Alcohol Program with Jeremy Walker is $630. A single initial consultation is $230 for 60 minutes. Tune-up sessions after the program are $230 each. A free 30 minute chat with Jeremy is also available so you can meet him before committing. Some private health insurers offer rebates under extras cover.
Is Hypnosis safe if I am still drinking heavily?
Hypnosis itself is safe and non-invasive. If you are drinking heavily, Jeremy recommends speaking with your GP about the alcohol withdrawal process before reducing intake, as medically supervised withdrawal may be appropriate alongside the Hypnosis work. Jeremy is happy to coordinate with your GP where needed.
What is the WARP Method?
The Walker Addiction Removal Process (WARP) is a structured framework developed by Jeremy Walker that combines Clinical Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and psychosomatic awareness to identify and interrupt the subconscious triggers behind compulsive behaviour. Jeremy introduced the method in his book Freedom From Addiction, which patients can purchase on Amazon or at the Wavell Heights clinic.
Can Hypnosis help my loved one who is drinking too much?
Hypnosis works best when the patient themselves is motivated to change. If a loved one or family member is drinking too much, the most helpful thing you can do is encourage them to book a free 30 minute chat with Jeremy to learn about the approach on their own terms.
