Stuck Between Versions?

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “Why does this all look fine, yet I feel… off?”

You’re doing the things. You’re meeting deadlines, showing up for everyone, keeping the wheels turning. From the outside, it’s a success story. From the inside, it’s like wearing a jacket that used to fit perfectly, and now it pulls at the shoulders every time you move.

Most high functioning people know this moment well, even if they’ve never named it.

It usually starts quietly.

You reread the same email three times and still can’t decide how to reply. You sit down to make a decision that used to be easy, and suddenly it feels heavy. You have the skills, the experience, the resilience, but your brain feels like it’s running too many tabs at once. You’re not falling apart. You’re just… not fitting anymore.

And that’s the piece that gets missed.

This isn’t a capability issue. It’s a clarity and alignment issue.

When “fine” stops feeling fine

I understand this not only professionally, but personally.

I migrated to Australia and rebuilt my life from the ground up. I navigated demanding corporate roles, built businesses that looked successful, and raised two children along the way. Like many high capacity people, I carried responsibility quietly and competently. I kept going.

But internally, I felt a growing disconnect I couldn’t clearly name.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t do the work. I could. I did.

It was that the version of me doing the work was no longer the version of me that wanted to live that life. My system recognised the misalignment long before I had the language for it.That’s when I learned the simplest, most enduring truth I now bring into my work with clients.

When life feels harder than it should, it’s often not because you’re broken. It’s because you’ve outgrown what used to work.

The stage no one talks about, the in between

Today, as the Founder of Between Versions Hypnotherapy, I work with people in the most overlooked stage of growth: the transition between who they were and who they are becoming.

This is the “in between” stage.

It’s where high functioning women often land when their internal world no longer matches their external reality. It can look like being stuck, unclear, emotional, restless, foggy, unmotivated, or strangely numb. And because you’re still performing, you might even talk yourself out of taking it seriously.

But your internal system is signalling something important.

An outdated internal pattern is trying to operate in a new context.

When that happens, clarity drops and bandwidth collapses. Decisions feel heavier. Thinking takes more effort. Your body does the quiet work of waving a flag, even if you’ve trained yourself to ignore it.

 Why I use hypnotherapy, and why it’s not what you think

People often assume hypnotherapy is about relaxation. It can be calming, yes, but that’s not the point.

In my work, hypnotherapy is a precise method for accessing and updating the subconscious patterns that drive behaviour and identity. It helps people access clarity they can feel, not just understand.

Before founding Between Versions, I worked in engineering and business analysis, designing systems, supporting organisational change, and watching what happens when misalignment creates friction.

The same principle applies internally.

When identity and behaviour stop matching, friction shows up everywhere.

My training in hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, counselling, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Techniques, and coaching allows me to work directly with the subconscious architecture of a person’s internal system.

That foundation shaped the framework I use today: Uncover, Recalibrate, Embody.

Not quick fixes. Not pep talks. System level change, with clarity and stability.

A client story you might recognise

A recent client came to me seeking clarity. She could lead meetings, deliver results, handle pressure. But in certain rooms, around certain personalities, she felt herself shrink. Not visibly, not dramatically, but internally. She would minimise her presence, soften her opinions, second guess her instincts. Then she’d go home frustrated with herself, because in every other part of her life she was confident and capable.

Through regression work, she accessed long running patterns formed much earlier than she realised, including imprints from the womb that shaped how she responded in specific environments.

For the first time, it made sense.

Not as a story to analyse endlessly, but as a pattern to update.

This wasn’t about uncovering weakness. It was about recognising an outdated internal response and releasing what her system had been holding for decades.

As that release occurred, she felt calm, steady, internally aligned.

Then we moved forward. Using hypnotherapy, we progressed her into a future identity, not imagined confidence, but lived steadiness. She left feeling lighter, clearer, and more accurate in how she was showing up in her life.

What this work actually is, and what it isn’t

This work is not motivation.

It is not mindset hacks.

It is not surface level strategy.

It is identity and pattern recalibration: updating the internal architecture so behaviour aligns with who you are now, not who you had to be in the past.

Clients describe it in a way that always stops me, because it’s so simple and so profound:

“I can think again.” “This finally makes sense.”

“I feel lighter already.”

When internal patterns update, clarity returns.

When identity becomes accurate, bandwidth expands.

That’s when the next version becomes possible.

The quiet truth underneath it all

My belief is this: we all have the internal resources we need. Most people simply haven’t been taught how to access them.

Hypnotherapy allows us to reach the part of the mind where outdated patterns live, and update them with precision. My role is to help people understand their internal system, recalibrate what’s no longer serving them, and build the readiness required for the stage they’re stepping into.

Between Versions Hypnotherapy is the space where transition becomes clear, manageable, and grounded, where the next version takes shape quietly, steadily, and in alignment.

If you’ve been telling yourself you “should” be fine, but something inside you is whispering otherwise, consider this your permission slip.

It might not be a problem to push through.

It might be a signal that you’re ready to evolve.
