Hello, I'm Claire, a clinical hypnotherapist. I specialise in working with anxiety and phobias, especially with teenagers and young people, including those with SEN diagnoses such as ASD and ADHD. Additionally, as a fully qualified, accredited and practising pharmacist with 30 years experience within the NHS, I am uniquely placed to help those wanting to become less dependent on medication and drugs, whether prescribed or recreational, regaining control of their own health and well-being. I use clinically effective evidence-based practical strategies rooted in neuroscience and psychology to help you understand how your brain works, and how you can re-train it, strengthening your confidence, your resilience and your self esteem - empowering you to unlock your full potential in all areas of life. We can work together face-to-face, or online, wherever you are in the world! I trained with the prestigious Clifton Practice to gain my Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy & also hold the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma, awarded by NCFE. I love what I do so much that I trained to be a senior lecturer for the prestigious Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) and lecture at their schools in Essex, Kent & Hertfordshire, teaching others to become qualified hypnotherapists. I am passionate about supporting the students while they are training and am working toward my accreditation as a supervisor for other therapists. I have also written and deliver CPD courses in neuroscience and psychoneuroimmunology for CPHT and am the Module Manager for the neuroscience element of the high level Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma. I believe in upholding a professional approach to hypnotherapy and am a member of the following governing bodies - Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) The National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has a proven track record in so many areas that it isn't possible to list them all here; but it has particular efficacy in working with issues such as Anxiety Depression Panic attacks Stress management & reduction Irritable Bowel Syndrome Weight Management Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Physical and Mental Wellbeing Low Confidence & Self Esteem Habit Breaking Phobias and Fears Exam/Driving Test nerves Sports Performance Hypnotherapy for Fertility And many many more....
