Solution for Dependencies
Treatment for Dependencies Using an Advanced Form of Hypnotherapy in Mulgoa, Penrith
Struggling with a dependency can leave you feeling trapped in a cycle that’s difficult to break. Whether it’s smoking, alcohol, gambling, drugs or another substance, these behaviours often begin as habits but quickly spiral into something much harder to control. You may have tried to quit on your own, only to find yourself returning to the same patterns, feeling frustrated and powerless. Over time, these dependencies not only impact your physical health but can also weigh heavily on your mental well-being. The guilt, the constant cravings, and the internal battle to resist can make everyday life a struggle.
Beyond the physical symptoms, dependencies often affect your relationships, your work, and your sense of self. You might start avoiding social situations to hide your behaviour or feel ashamed of how it’s taken over parts of your life. The longer these dependencies continue, the more they become ingrained, making them harder to overcome without proper help. But it’s important to remember that you don’t have to do this alone. There is a proven way to free yourself from these cycles, and you can take back control with a unique combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy.
Hi, I’m Margaret Muscat
I’m here to help you regain control over your life and break free from the hold of dependencies. With years of experience in supporting individuals through their journey to overcome habits such as smoking, alcohol use, and other behaviours, I understand how deeply ingrained these patterns can become.
My own experiences, combined with extensive training in the specialised fields of Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy with world-renowned instructors Gordon Young (Australia) and Dr. Michael Yapko (USA), have helped me to develop a unique, compassionate and tailored approach that truly works.
No two journeys are the same, which is why I focus on understanding your specific struggles and triggers. I take the time to get to know your personal story so that together, we can develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. By addressing both the psychological and behavioural aspects of your dependency, I aim to guide you towards long-term change and help you regain the control you may have thought was lost.

Why a Combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy is More Powerful for Treating Dependencies
I use a combination of Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to help address the underlying causes of your dependency and break the cycle for good. Hypnotherapy works by guiding you into a deeply relaxed state where we can access the unconscious mind. In this state, your mind is more open to positive suggestions, making it easier to address the habits and thoughts that are fuelling your dependency.
Strategic Psychotherapy focuses on identifying the specific triggers and patterns that keep you locked in your dependency. Every session is designed to address your individual challenges, whether you’re struggling with gambling, smoking, drinking, drugs or other substances. This targeted approach means we’re not just treating the surface-level behaviours, but getting to the root of what’s driving them, so you can break free from the cycle once and for all.
Research has shown that hypnotherapy is highly effective in helping people overcome dependencies. Studies suggest that hypnotherapy can help significantly reduce the cravings and urges that come with behaviours like smoking and drinking, allowing you to regain control faster than traditional methods. These findings demonstrate how powerful hypnotherapy can be in creating long-lasting change.
I’ll work with you to rewire your thought processes and responses to cravings. By shifting your unconscious responses, we can significantly reduce the power that your dependency has over you, helping you reclaim control of your habits. You’ll notice fewer cravings, more resilience against temptation, and a renewed sense of freedom from the behaviours that once controlled your life.
Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy offers a long-term solution that addresses both the mental and emotional aspects of your dependency. It’s about creating real, lasting change and developing the tools you need to overcome your dependency and move forward with confidence.

Hi Margaret, you saw me earlier in the year 2023, regarding loneliness and pain associated with my estranged family. I just wanted to update you that I’m feeling better and stronger than ever, since our last session. You helped me tremendously. I can now breathe a little easier without all that heavy trauma I was carrying. Thank you so very much. I often think of you and wonder how you’re doing. I send you a huge hug and gratitude for you and the very important work you are doing.
When I first went to see Margaret, I really thought hypnosis was hocus-pocus! But after my first session, I thought WOW this really works! and now I can’t stop raving about it! I had depression and anxiety for 20 years and it had gotten to the point my wife said ‘Go and see Margaret, she can help you’ , I feel amazing!
I decided to try Hypnotherapy to curb my drinking habits, after an extensive search I found Hilltop Hypnotherapy online.Margaret the founder of Hilltop Hypnotherapy contacted me after I left a message, we talked about my problem and habits.I chose to do 3 sessions, after the first session I stopped my daily drinking habit.Margaret is a wonderful human being, reinforcing my strengths in every session. The environment was so relaxing and I am achieving new goals every day.
Thank you Margaret, you have changed my life!
I feel fed up going to my counselling sessions only to get asked, ‘And how does that make you feel?’ Like isn’t that your job to help me to deal with situations better? This makes me feel so frustrated!
After a session with you Margaret, I feel as if a weight has lifted off my shoulders. I don’t care about situations that would upset me I now say, Oh well, doesn’t matter, I don’t keep thinking it over. Thank you.

Strategic hypnotherapy is a focused approach that uses hypnosis in a targeted manner to address specific problems. It combines elements of strategic therapy, which is goal-oriented and brief, with the techniques of hypnotherapy to help clients quickly and effectively overcome issues like phobias, addictions, and unwanted behaviors.
Strategic hypnotherapy works by identifying specific goals or issues a client wants to address. During sessions, the therapist uses hypnosis to create a state of focused attention and suggestibility, allowing the client to access their subconscious mind. This helps to reframe thoughts, behaviors, and responses, leading to desired changes and improvements.
