Services
Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnotherapy utilises heightened awareness states to reprogram subconscious patterns. This technique effectively treats addictions, anxiety, and phobias by aligning conscious and subconscious mind functions. Sessions typically produce measurable results within 2-3 treatments through direct neural pathway modification.
NLP Coaching
NLP coaching transforms limiting beliefs through language and behavioural modeling. Practitioners employ cognitive-behavioural techniques to dissolve emotional blocks and enhance performance. This approach delivers rapid results for public speaking anxiety and confidence issues by restructuring thought patterns at source.
Addiction Recovery
Specialised programs target nicotine, alcohol, and drug dependencies using multi-modal therapy. Combining hypnosis with Havening Technique protocols achieves 93% success rates in clinical trials. The method addresses both physical cravings and psychological triggers through subconscious reconditioning.
Insomnia Treatment
The Sleep Coach program integrates autogenic relaxation with cognitive behavioural techniques. Over 85% of clients report improved sleep quality within three weeks through structured mind-body retraining. Digital programs complement in-clinic treatments for sustained circadian rhythm regulation.
Online Sessions
Secure video consultations deliver equivalent outcomes to in-person treatments. Using Zoom or WhatsApp platforms, clients access real-time hypnotherapy and NLP coaching from 120+ countries. Virtual sessions maintain clinical standards while offering greater accessibility for international clients.

I cannot recommend Max highly enough! I first had a hypno session 3 years ago to stop smoking and never looked back! I recently had another session with Max for addiction & anxiety and he went above and beyond to help me. I have listened to his anxiety hypnotherapy sessions everyday for the last two weeks and I am waking up everyday with less and less worry! Forever grateful this man is Magic! Thank you x

In 2019, before the pandemic, Max helped me with the consequences of abruptly coming off anti-depressants in 2017. I was left with what I would call smell halucinations I would constantly smell strong odours that in fact did not exist and that were completely alien. These odours would be constantly changing but constantly there. With Maxs help, these have diminished almost entirely. No doctor had heard of the phenomenon and no one could help me. Now, since the pandemic, I have been hearing about some of the long covid effects and was stunned to discover that many people are suffering from

I attended the Max Kirsten Clinic because I was experiencing disrupted sleep, anxiety and fluctuating confidence. My session and the aftercare I received, was absolutely amazing! I no longer experience anxiety, I am having restful sleep, my confidence has improved and my general wellbeing in comparison, is incredible. Conversing with Max was like talking to an old friend, he is genuine and down to earth. I highly recommend his services.

During the start of lockdown during COVID-19, i had to unfortunately sit for hypno-therapy session.. Virtually.. i was quite skeptical initially.
However, Max was well prepared for the sudden change in my appointment conditions and was able to successfully administer my therapy. Today its been almost 9 months since i stopped smoking, without having any urges to fall back to my hold habits. Thank you Max

I was smoking for 27 years and tried many times to quit but was unable to do so until I went to Max. His hypnosis treatment has been very successful for me. Max is very welcoming and friendly and it is easy to speak openly to him. He loves his job and takes a professional, heartfelt interest in helping each of his clients individually. Listening to the many informative and calming sessions on his app after the treatment helped to suppress the urge to smoke. This, along with the breathing exercises he taught me were the key to my success. I am very thankful to Max for freeing me of my addiction

I did a 1:1 session with Max to help with my insomnia and it worked wonders: I have been sleeping like a baby since then, using his relaxation techniques, combined with herbal medicines he recommended. I am so grateful, thank you Max!!
