Dating - What's Really Stopping You?
Description
DATING: WHAT’S REALLY STOPPING YOU?
Show up the way you’d like to.
A practical workshop for men who want to approach dating differently.
Leave with one thing you’ll do differently.
Using real-life dating scenarios, explore what’s getting in the way, understand your responses and turn awareness into action. Whether you’re dating, thinking about it, or haven’t quite got there, there’s often something between what you want and what you do.
Sometimes, the biggest obstacles aren’t the circumstances themselves, but the beliefs, assumptions and familiar patterns we bring to them. They can influence what we say, what we don’t say, how we behave and the opportunities we allow ourselves to take.
Through practical coaching activities and hypnotherapy techniques, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, identify what might be holding you back and consider different ways of approaching situations.
Come and discover how life coaching and hypnotherapy work together as a powerful alliance: coaching clarifies the future you want, and hypnotherapy helps you step into it.
The aim isn’t to become someone else or follow a set of dating rules. It’s to better understand yourself, recognise where you have a choice and become more intentional about how you want to show up.
No therapy. No digging into the past. Learn practical tools, fresh perspectives and a clear next step you can put into action. No pressure to share personal experiences. Just an opportunity to think, explore and try something different.
Who it’s for? Men who want dating to feel less awkward, less complicated or less stuck, whether you’re new to dating, getting back into it, not sure it’s for you, or just want to show up differently.

Mack Mayell
I’m Mack Mayell, a clinical hypnotherapist and the founder of Inherent Hypnotherapy in Christchurch. I hold a Bachelor of Holistic Health Sciences and a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy. I’m also a certified NLP Practitioner and a Registered Professional member of Hypnosis New Zealand. Before hypnotherapy, I spent almost ten years working as a chef. That taught me to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly and keep showing up when things don’t go to plan. My approach is practical and trauma-informed. We start by understanding your present state, get clear on how you want to show up day to day, and then use guided imagery to help new patterns stick. I’m facilitating a workshop at International Men’s Day, and I’m passionate about creating spaces where men can explore this stuff without stigma or pressure. This evening isn’t about becoming someone else or learning dating rules. It’s about understanding yourself, seeing where you have a choice and leaving with a clear next step.
