About us, the plain version

who we are, and what we will not do

Mental wellbeing is a noisy market full of big promises. Here is exactly what we do, what we do not do, and who it will not suit, so you can decide for yourself.

What we actually are


An audio program, created by the practitioner behind the method

MindShift Mentors is an Australian practice built on Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming, developed by Rob Edmonds. Rob Edmonds creates every session. He holds a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy and is a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. Rob practises in New South Wales, Australia. You listen for 15 to 20 minutes a day, whenever suits you, through the app. It is not meditation and it is not a wellness app with a soundtrack. It is a structured method, recorded.

The people behind it

Steve Nelson, Co-Founder and Business Development Manager at MindShift Mentors

Steve Nelson

Co-Founder & Business Development Manager

Most business owners Steve meets do not say they are stressed. They say they are fine, just flat out. Then it comes out. The sleep has gone, the jaw is grinding, the fuse is short. He tends to hear it early, because he has spent his whole life working people out.

  • Started at eight, working weekends in the family department store.
  • At eighteen he bought a taxi in Newcastle and drove it for four years. Half driving, half counselling, and a fast education in what people will only say to a stranger at midnight.
  • Then thirty five years as a licensed builder, after going back to do his apprenticeship as a mature age apprentice.
  • His own version of it was overthinking. Long days, a family, a business, and sleepless nights that nothing held against, until Rob took him through Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming and the loops eased.
  • What it taught him. You cannot organise or discipline your way out of a stressed nervous system.
  • Steve is not the clinician. He handles partnerships and business development, and he is the one who can talk to a business owner without sounding like a therapist. If you message him, he reads everything.

Rob Edmonds

Author and Creator of the Mindshift Method™ and Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming™ / Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy / Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner / Co-Founder

Rob was nineteen and could not speak in front of a room. Not nervous, genuinely unable, and it was starting to cost him exams. He tried hypnotherapy because he had run out of other ideas, and found it helped. It helped, and it was more straightforward than he expected. That quietly shaped everything after it.

  • Business consultancy and finance first, where he watched capable people get held back by mindset far more often than by ability.
  • Then he went and did it properly. Trained at the Institute of Applied Psychology in Sydney, earning his Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy, and later certified as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner.
  • A member of ASCH and ISPA, the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists and the International Strategic Psychotherapists Association.
  • Out of that came Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming, the method behind everything MindShift Mentors does. Short and practical rather than open ended, and it is designed to work with the response running now instead of going back through what caused it.
  • Stress, sleep, difficult emotional responses, habits and focus. Different pathways, the same pattern-based approach.
  • He works with patterns, not the person. He still sees clients one to one, and he creates every session in the library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MindShift Mentors, the method and what it costs.

Who is behind MindShift Mentors?

+

MindShift Mentors was co-founded by Rob Edmonds and Steve Nelson. Rob holds a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy, creates every session in the library, and sees clients one to one. Steve is Co-Founder and Business Development Manager, and came to the work as a client first. The business is run from Forster Tuncurry, New South Wales, under ABN 49 714 525 048.

What are Rob Edmonds' qualifications?

+

Rob holds a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy from the Institute of Applied Psychology in Sydney, and is a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. He is a member of the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists and a member of ISPA.

What is Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming?

+

Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is the method behind MindShift Mentors. It is an integrated method drawing on Clinical Hypnosis, Strategic Psychotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, delivered as guided audio you listen to for 15 to 20 minutes a day. It is designed to help people recognise and interrupt unhelpful patterns in the way they think, respond and behave.

Is MindShift Mentors therapy?

+

No. It is an audio program, not therapy, and it does not replace your GP, psychologist, medication or counselling. It is designed to sit alongside whatever is already working for you, including CBT. We do not diagnose or treat conditions.

Is this the same as meditation or mindfulness?

+

No. Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is a structured, time-limited process focused on one specific pattern, delivered as guided audio rather than as attention or awareness training.

How much does MindShift Mentors cost?

+

$29.95 a month or $299 a year for the full library. You get seven nights free first with no credit card required, and you can cancel anytime. One to one sessions with Rob are booked and paid for separately.

Can I cancel, and is there a contract?

+

There is no contract and no minimum term. You can cancel in two taps from inside the app at any time.

Where is MindShift Mentors based?

+

MindShift Mentors is an Australian business run from Forster Tuncurry on the mid north coast of New South Wales, operating under ABN 49 714 525 048. It is a small team with no call centre, so if you email, one of the founders answers.

Is MindShift Mentors used in workplaces or by government?

+

The SafeWork MindShift System is included in the NSW Department of Communities and Justice Mental Health and Wellbeing Toolkit, and runs inside workplaces and frontline teams. It is designed to support employers with their psychosocial wellbeing obligations under WHS law.

Do I have to talk about or relive my past?

+

No. The approach is forward focused. You are never asked to go back through a difficult event to get relief from it. The work happens on the response running today. It is not a treatment for trauma or PTSD, and is designed to sit alongside professional care.

Can it help with sleep?

+

Sleep is one of the twelve pathways. Sessions are designed to support rest and winding down, many people listen at lights out, and falling asleep partway through is common. Individual experiences vary.

Is it safe, and can I use it alongside other treatment?

+

Sessions are non-invasive and drug-free, and you can stop at any time. While listening, you remain aware and in control, able to hear what is being said and respond if you choose. Please do not listen while driving or operating machinery. If you have a diagnosed condition, speak to your clinician first. The approach is designed to sit alongside other professional care. It does not alter or implant memories.

How long before I notice anything?

+

Some people notice changes quickly while others find change develops more gradually. Individual experiences vary. The sessions are designed for daily use, and consistency matters more than intensity. If you are not going to press play most nights, it is unlikely to do much.

Who is MindShift Mentors not for?

+

It will not suit someone who wants a place to talk everything through and go back over how it started, because the method deliberately does not do that. It is also not a crisis service. If today is a bad day, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000 in an emergency.

Kickstart for Sam

A portion of every MindShift Mentors subscription goes to the Samuel Brett Nelson Kickstart Foundation, set up in memory of Sam, who died in 2017 of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at nine years old.

Kickstart gives disadvantaged children the chance to do things their families could not otherwise afford. Learning to swim. Picking up an instrument. Getting into a fitness program and finding some confidence in it. Ordinary childhood things that build a kid up and get them into their community, named after a boy who was kind to everyone.

Change should carry further than the person who paid for it. That is why it is built into the subscription rather than left to a donate button.
