How to cancel Clear Minds Hypnotherapy and protect your refund rights in australia
What Clear Minds Hypnotherapy is and why you might want to cancel
Clear Minds Hypnotherapy is a digital wellness subscription service that delivers hypnotherapy recordings, guided meditations and self-improvement tools through a mobile app and web platform. The service targets areas including sleep quality, anxiety management, habit change, alcohol reduction and pain relief, with a library of several hundred sessions available to active members.
You access content through a recurring subscription model-typically monthly, quarterly or annual plans-rather than one-off therapy sessions. Some users find the sessions helpful and build a regular listening habit. Others cancel because they don't use the service, prefer different wellness approaches, experience billing problems like unexpected renewals, or forget about the subscription entirely and later discover repeated charges.
If you have decided Clear Minds Hypnotherapy isn't right for you, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step, helping you avoid common pitfalls and understand your refund rights as an Australian consumer.

Common reasons australians cancel Clear Minds Hypnotherapy
Feedback from Australian users shows a clear pattern of cancellation triggers. Some cancel because they complete their goals and no longer need daily guided sessions. Others find the app unreliable, experience technical glitches or lose access to content they have already purchased. A significant group cancel because they forget about the subscription and realise months later they have been charged repeatedly.
Many users also cancel after discovering they prefer a different meditation or hypnotherapy app, or because the session library does not match what they were looking for. Whatever your reason, Yafee recommends you cancel quickly to stop future charges-even if you are pursuing a refund.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law (part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) protects you when you buy digital services, including subscriptions.
What you are entitled to under the law
You have the right to receive services that are of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If Clear Minds Hypnotherapy fails on any of these points-for example, the app crashes repeatedly, you cannot access the sessions you have paid for, or the service does not match what was advertised-you can claim a refund or repair under Australian Consumer Law, regardless of the provider's stated refund policy.
You also have the right to cancel a subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase if you have bought it online, under Australian Consumer Law. This applies to your initial subscription. Many users do not know about this window and miss it, so act immediately if you want to use this right.
When the provider refuses to refund
If Clear Minds Hypnotherapy denies your refund request or does not respond within a reasonable timeframe (typically 30 days), you can escalate your complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The ACCC is the federal regulator responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws and investigating breaches of Australian Consumer Law. You can lodge a complaint online at scamwatch.gov.au or contact your state or territory consumer affairs office.
Your legal position: Under Australian Consumer Law, you do not need Clear Minds Hypnotherapy's permission to cancel-you have a statutory right to a refund if the service is not of acceptable quality or fit for purpose. If the provider refuses, the ACCC can investigate and take enforcement action on your behalf.
How to cancel Clear Minds Hypnotherapy step by step
Your cancellation method depends on which platform you used to subscribe-iOS App Store, Google Play Store or the Clear Minds Hypnotherapy website.
Cancel via iOS app store
If you subscribed through your Apple device, you must cancel through the App Store settings, not within the app itself.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
- Tap or click your name at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Clear Minds Hypnotherapy in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
Apple will send you a confirmation email. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. After that date, you will no longer be charged and the app will lock the premium content.
Cancel via google play store
If you subscribed through an Android device, cancel directly in Google Play settings.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (top right corner).
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Clear Minds Hypnotherapy.
- Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.
Google will send a confirmation. Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle, after which charges will stop.
Cancel via the Clear Minds Hypnotherapy website
If you subscribed directly through clearminds.com or have a web-based account, cancel through your account settings.
- Visit clearminds.com/account/register (or log in if you already have an account).
- Enter the email address linked to your subscription.
- Access your account dashboard.
- Navigate to Subscription or Billing settings.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the confirmation prompts.
Alternatively, contact Clear Minds Hypnotherapy customer support directly at the email address listed on their website. Provide your account email and request immediate cancellation. Keep a copy of this email as evidence of your cancellation request.
Understanding your refund rights and timeline
Cancellation and refunds operate under different rules in Australia-stopping future charges is not the same as recovering past charges.
When you qualify for a refund
You are entitled to a refund if any of the following apply:
- You cancel within 14 calendar days of your initial purchase and have not used a substantial portion of the service.
- The service is defective, unreliable or does not match the description provided by Clear Minds Hypnotherapy.
- The provider has not disclosed their cancellation policy clearly before you subscribed.
- You were charged without proper consent or due to a system error.
Consequentially, cancelling your subscription stops future recurring charges immediately, but does not automatically trigger a refund for charges already processed.
How to request a refund
After you cancel, submit a written refund request to Clear Minds Hypnotherapy using the contact method listed on their website. Include the following information:
- Your account email address and full name.
- Your order confirmation or transaction ID.
- The date you subscribed and the date you cancelled.
- The specific reason for your refund request (e.g. defective service, unused service within 14 days, billing error).
- Copies of your billing statements showing the charges in question.
The provider must respond within 30 days. If they refuse, Yafee recommends you escalate to the ACCC immediately with a formal complaint. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these disputes by keeping clear records and understanding their statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Timeline for refunds after cancellation
Once Clear Minds Hypnotherapy approves your refund, the money typically returns to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. If you do not see the refund within this window, contact your bank or payment provider and ask them to trace the transaction. Provide them with the refund approval email from Clear Minds Hypnotherapy as evidence.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is straightforward, but understanding what occurs next protects you from surprise charges or confusion.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you confirm cancellation, Clear Minds Hypnotherapy will stop recurring charges on your next billing date. You retain access to premium content until the end of your current billing period. After that date, the app will revert to free content only or prompt you to subscribe again. You will not be charged further unless you manually restart your subscription.
Cancellation confirmation and record-keeping
Whether you cancel via App Store, Google Play Store or the website, you will receive a confirmation message on screen and via email. Screenshot or save this confirmation immediately-it proves you cancelled and protects you if a charge appears later. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, log back into your account to verify the cancellation status. If the subscription still appears active, repeat the cancellation process or contact customer support.
Monitoring your bank account post-cancellation
For the first two billing cycles after you cancel, monitor your bank or credit card statements carefully. A small number of users report that Clear Minds Hypnotherapy continues charging after cancellation due to system delays or errors. If you are charged after cancelling, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback. Simultaneously, send written notice to Clear Minds Hypnotherapy demanding an immediate refund and cessation of charges. Yafee advises keeping all documentation of these communications for your records.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is not complex, but a few missteps can delay or prevent your refund.
Deleting the app without cancelling your subscription
Many users simply delete the Clear Minds Hypnotherapy app from their phone, assuming this stops charges. It does not. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription-it only removes the app from your device. Your subscription remains active and you will continue to be charged. You must cancel through the App Store, Google Play Store or the website before deleting the app.
Confusing subscription cancellation with account deletion
Some users ask Clear Minds Hypnotherapy to delete their account, assuming this cancels their subscription. Account deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions. You can delete your account and still be charged if your subscription remains active. Conversely, you can cancel your subscription without deleting your account. Always cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion if you wish to remove your personal data.
Missing the 14-day refund window
Australian Consumer Law allows you to cancel within 14 calendar days of purchase for a refund if you have not substantially used the service. This window closes after 14 days. Many users delay cancellation, thinking they have more time, and then discover they no longer qualify for a refund. If you are unsure whether the service is right for you, cancel within 14 days to preserve your refund right, then request reactivation if you change your mind.
Failing to document charges and cancellation requests
If a dispute arises later, the ACCC and your bank will ask for proof of your subscription history and cancellation attempts. Screenshots of your billing statements, cancellation confirmation emails and customer support correspondence are essential. Do not rely on memory or verbal promises. Keep digital copies of all communications with Clear Minds Hypnotherapy for at least 12 months after cancellation.
Pricing comparison and when to cancel
Understanding the cost of continuing versus cancelling helps you make an informed decision quickly.
| Plan type |
Monthly cost |
Effective annual cost if kept |
Break-even usage |
| Monthly (most flexible) |
A$21.99 |
A$263.88 |
4-6 sessions per month |
| Quarterly |
A$16.99 (pro-rated) |
A$203.88 |
3-4 sessions per month |
| Annual |
A$16.25 (pro-rated) |
A$194.99 |
2-3 sessions per month |
In accordance with the pricing above, if you use fewer than 3 to 4 sessions per month, you are not recouping the value of your subscription. In this scenario, cancellation is financially prudent. If you anticipate using the service regularly, the annual plan offers the best value. Nevertheless, if you have already paid for a longer plan (quarterly or annual) and used it minimally, you may qualify for a refund under Australian Consumer Law by citing the service as not fit for purpose.

Direct contact with Clear Minds Hypnotherapy
Send a cancellation or refund request to the customer support email listed on the Clear Minds Hypnotherapy website. In your message, reference your subscription plan, the dates of all charges and your reason for cancellation or refund. Request a response within 14 days. Keep a copy of this email and any response for your records.
Escalation to the ACCC
If Clear Minds Hypnotherapy does not respond within 30 days or refuses your refund claim unjustly, lodge a formal complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Visit scamwatch.gov.au, provide details of your subscription, all communications with the provider and evidence of your charges. The ACCC investigates breaches of Australian Consumer Law and can compel the provider to refund you if they find grounds for a violation. Additionally, you can contact your state or territory consumer affairs office for guidance and support.
Chargeback through your payment provider
If you subscribed via credit card or debit card and Clear Minds Hypnotherapy continues charging after you cancel, contact your bank immediately. Request a chargeback-this instructs your bank to reverse the disputed charges. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation and any evidence that charges continued after you cancelled. Most banks process chargebacks within 30 to 60 days. Yafee recommends using chargeback as a last resort after direct requests for refunds have failed.
