Client Testimonials

I had regression hypnosis sessions with Claire to help with anxiety which I have been struggling with for a while. I found it a really interesting experience to be able to try to find out where my anxiety was initially coming from. And it’s made the biggest difference to how I am now coping with situations that would have made me very anxious before. Claire was really kind and understanding and made me feel safe to talk about things and I’m so grateful for how much of a positive impact the sessions have had on me. I would definitely recommend.
Laura (regressions sessions)
I really enjoyed the Empower Calm sessions I did with Claire. I learnt brilliant new techniques to try when I’m feeling stressed and am looking forward to being able to use them to feel calmer. Claire is so understanding and supportive and the hypnosis was just so relaxing. It’s definitely helped me to feel much more calm and to feel I can better cope with life’s challenges.

To begin with, I have to say I was sceptical about hypnotherapy. Claire took this in her stride and made me do a massive U-turn. She took time to get to understand my anxiety, allowing me to talk through as much or a little as I wanted. The hypnosis part of the hour was fabulous, more often then not I could really get into the thick of it. The overall result was that I felt calmer in general and understood that I needed to keep up with this type of self care. Thank you Claire for your time and dedication to helping me. .

I feel like am coping with things so much better. There are situations now that 6 months ago I would have stuck my head in a bowl of chocolate to cope with but now I have healthier coping strategies. I love the anchor that you have given me. I find myself using it a lot and it is really helping me cope. My mood and sleep have improved. My screen time has drastically reduced and I have spent more time reading my books which I love to do and yet never made the time for before. My biggest achievement so far is I got in the paddling pool with the kids at a family party, in a bathing suit and I felt fine. Before I would have said no when the kids asked me as I wouldn’t want anyone to see me in a costume and even my friend noticed the difference in my confidence. I enjoyed spending time with the kids and making memories rather than worrying about what I looked like.

I really enjoyed the 6 sessions of Hypnotherapy with Claire. Just the opportunity to offload my thoughts on someone else was great with the added benefit of deep relaxation to follow. Claire is a great listener. The sessions give you chance to really think through your issues and focus on yourself.
Claire has been helping me to overcome my driving anxiety. It is something that has effected my life for over 7 years. Claire is a fantastic therapist she has shown me great empathy. She always makes me feel so comfortable and I always look forward to our sessions. After just a few sessions I have made great progress with my driving and I'm going places I would have previously avoided. I can't thank Claire enough

In her own unique way Claire found a way to demystify the world of Hypnotherapy and genuinely support me with the start of my weight loss journey. I found the sessions with Claire cathartic and I really valued the combination of diving into the root causes and certain triggers followed by the trance. For me, Claire is my trusted go to person because she really cares without any judgement, so to have access to the recordings that Claire provides of the sessions, means that in truth Claire is by my side well past the 6 sessions. Thank you Claire

I really enjoyed my Hypnotherapy session with you today. Can't remember the last time I felt that relaxed! Feeling positive about our future sessions. I've already learnt so much about myself and was amazed at what my sub conscious pulled to the forefront....amazing. Thank you
AnonWorcestershire
I wanted to thank you Claire for the hypnosis work we did together! It has massively helped with my sleeping! I had 3 sessions with Claire which I felt were really beneficial. I have suffered with insomnia and anxiety for years. Sometimes it would take me hours to fall asleep. Since seeing Claire I now fall asleep while listening to the recording (usually within an hour) and my anxiety has gone! I would highly recommend Claire to help with any issues regarding sleep/anxiety

What is Hypnotherapy?

We all experience Hypnosis naturally at various times of the day.  It is described as a focused state of attention. Think of it like daydreaming! Perhaps you can remember a time when you were driving your car and when you got home you realised that you can’t remember the actual drive.  However, if on that drive home you had needed to stop in an emergency you would have snapped back to reality and been able to apply the brake.

Or perhaps you have been so engrossed in a book or film that you weren’t aware of anything else going on around you because your attention is firmly on the story unfolding.

Hypnotherapy is a mixture of talking therapy and Hypnosis that brings about changes in your thoughts, feelings and behaviours at the subconscious level.  Think of the subconscious as a filing cabinet in your mind where all your beliefs about yourself and the word are stored as well as your automatic behaviour patterns and habits.

Some of what is stored in our subconscious is helpful to us, like knowing how to ride a bike or how to walk.  Although your subconscious is always trying to protect you, some of your behaviours may have become unhelpful to you now and may be holding you back from living the life you want and deserve.

How does Hypnosis feel?

Everybody’s experience of Hypnosis will feel unique to them, but it has been described as a pleasant sense of relaxation (this relaxation is therapeutic in itself).  You will be awake and aware of what is going on.  It is completely safe and as an experienced Hypnotherapist I will screen you for any contraindications before therapy begins.  I will always explain to you what we will be doing so that you can relax and enjoy the experience.

What will happen in a session?

On the initial meeting we will chat about the problem or issue that you would like to work on, I will ask you questions and come up with a tentative therapy plan.  This is a flexible approach that is individually tailored to you and your needs.  After the consultation I will guide you into Hypnosis using various techniques depending on what is appropriate for you.  Once you are in “Hypnosis” we can begin the change work using techniques and approaches which we will have discussed beforehand.  A session is usually for about an hour.  I always leave time at the end for you to ask any questions and so that we can set, mutually agreed upon, tasks for you to do in between sessions.

How many sessions will I need?

This really depends on the issue.  We can discuss this after your FREE consultation but as a guide 4-6 sessions.  You can pay on a session-by-session basis or as a block booking which is a more cost effective option. 

When I'm hypnotized do I give up control?

No, you are in complete control during our sessions, you can emerge from hypnosis whenever you wish.  I can’t make you do anything that you do not want to do.

I am a guide and a facilitator for change but the change has to come from you.  One of the skills I will teach you is the art of self-hypnosis so that you can use this in between our sessions to really embed the work that we have done.  You then have this amazing tool that you can use whenever you need it.
