Gavin Duff

I am a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist with a passion for helping individuals unlock their potential and overcome barriers to living their best lives. My guiding principle, “I am good enough is more than good enough,” forms the foundation of my practice, encouraging clients to embrace self-acceptance as a powerful catalyst for growth.

With a background as an actor and voice artist, I bring a rich understanding of creativity, self-expression, and the pressures of performing at your best. These experiences have deepened my empathy for those navigating performance anxiety, self-doubt, and the fear of judgment—whether in auditions, on stage, or in everyday life. I understand the courage it takes to step into the spotlight and strive to help others find their voice, embrace their uniqueness, and confidently express who they truly are.

I also draw on 25 years of experience in a parallel career in design and communications for financial service institutions. This has provided me with insight into the demands of high-performance industries and the unique challenges faced by individuals striving to succeed in fast-paced, results-driven environments.

I work with a wide range of clients, including those from diverse and vibrant communities. As someone who values creating a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported, I am particularly passionate about helping members of the LGBTQ+ community embrace their strengths, confront limiting beliefs, overcome shame, and discover their inner worth.

With a tailored approach and a heartfelt commitment to your well-being, I will help you uncover the power within to take meaningful steps toward a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Together, we can navigate your thoughts and embrace the truth that you are—and have always been—enough.

I specialise in helping people overcome performance anxiety, social phobia, the fear of being judged, and deep-seated shame. using queer-informed cognitive behavioural approaches to promote lasting change.
