Claire Winchester Hypnotherapy

I met with Claire as I wanted to stop smoking, I was already determined but needed help to take the first step, it’s early days but so far so good and no smoking!

I am so pleased I decided to give hypnotherapy a try. I remained open minded and it’s helped me massively with my anxiety and insomnia. The techniques and methods of controlling my thoughts and feelings throughout my day are invaluable now for me! Claire makes the whole process relaxing from start to finish in a warm comfortable environment.

Seeing Claire for hypnotherapy was such a valuable experience and I would highly recommend to anyone considering! I had been through a rough patch with work and anxiety, and was very much in "fight or flight" mode. Claire truly helped me to put my worries into perspective and taught me what it feels like to actually be relaxed, which I hadn't experienced for quite some time. Claire was extremely supportive and the sessions were very tailored to my specific issues. Would return to Claire in a heartbeat if I ever experience similar concerns in the future. Feeling very happy and back to my "old self" which I hadn't thought possible.

Claire has been supportive from Day 1 with her Hypnotherapy. I finally felt like after all these years I was given a voice. Instead of giving me the same spiel as every other person, I am catered to on a personal level, so, my experiences feel customised and tailored to me. Claire has gone above and beyond to support me, and, I would highly recommend anyone take the first step into Hypnotherapy, and, especially with Claire. Thank you as always.

I had 4 sessions with Claire this summer to help with my fear of flying before a family holiday. During my first session she immediately put me at ease and explained the process clearly so I knew what to expect. After 4 sessions, my anxiety was so much more manageable and I was able to use the techniques learnt during the sessions in the run up and during the flight. As a result I was able to stay calm and actually managed to enjoy some elements of the flight! I'm so grateful to Claire and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Claire made me feel at ease from the very first session and showed such empathy. Hypnotherapy has really worked for me, I can highly recommend.

I used Claire for help with my needle phobia. From the very start she made me feel at ease, explained the process and gave me hope that I could overcome my phobia. I would highly recommend Claire, extremely friendly and professional. I loved having hypnotherapy and would 100% consider it again with any other issues. Thanks Lois.

I received treatment from Claire for social anxiety and low self esteem. Claire has been amazing and really helped me overcome my fears and build my confidence. Her therapy room is a safe space to talk openly, and Claire made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. After 5-6 sessions, I started to notice a real change in myself, feeling less anxious in social situations and treating myself with more kindness. I always looked forward to my sessions, thank you so much Claire!

Claire has changed my life. I absolutely love travelling but the one thing that always made my trips less enjoyable was flying. I was terrified and spent the entire journey thinking negative thoughts, convincing myself that this was the time the plane would crash. Claire made me feel a ease from our very first session and in addition to the hypnotherapy itself, she also gave me some excellent advice on mindset/coping strategies. I have recently returned from Japan and for the first time in 37 years, I actually enjoyed the journey - not one pang of fear or anxiety, just sitting and enjoying reading my book/being waited on and looking forward to the destination! Claire has improved my life so much and I can’t thank her enough. If you have a fear of flying then I would highly recommend having sessions with Claire - you won’t regret it! My sessions were also virtual and worked just as effectively as in person! Thank you for everything, Claire!

I booked a session with Claire to stop smoking after seeing fantastic reviews. I’ve tried to quit smoking successfully before and have had no luck. I was very sceptical and nervous coming into the session, but Claire quickly put me at ease. The session itself was great! I lost track of time during it, and genuinely believed I’d been hypnotised for no longer than 10 minutes (It had been an hour). The results? I’ve not smoked a cigarette for two weeks! I feel as though I’m very head strong about not smoking and even regularly go down to the smoking area with colleagues and am not tempted. Claire is very professional, kind and supportive. I left the session with audio files to listen to which have supported me on my journey. Two weeks in and she’s even contacted me to check-in on my progress and offered a free follow up. If you are unsure, this is your sign to book an appointment! I would 100% recommend Claire to anyone who is trying to quit smoking.Moreexpand_more

I went to Claire after 25 years of smoking. She was absolutely brilliant and I still cannot believe I’ve not smoked. I never thought it would happen and it has changed my life so thank you Claire!

After just two sessions with Claire I could feel a difference in my confidence levels. Claire is very good at putting you at ease straight away and giving you a safe space to relax. I found the sound file’s extremely helpful, and practice them daily to help with my anxieties. I am now on my sixth session with Claire and she has helped me immensely to overcome fears that I have struggled with for years. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who wants to help themselves get past whatever it is they are struggling with. I have been able to get past many of my fears with driving, flying, social anxiety and through Claire’s sessions I am now carving a new life out that doesn’t include any fear of the above!

My sessions with Claire have helped me to understand how my current negative behaviours are connected to previous trauma. I have been able to understand myself, how my anxiety and inner fears affect how I feel. I have been able to develop resilience, confidence and inner strength to make positive changes and improve my mindset. Claire is lovely, very caring and understanding. I am very grateful for my sessions with Claire as I feel I now have the tools and I know how to use them. Thank you Claire! .

I took a few sessions with Claire for my fear of flying. The sessions were really enjoyable and helped me feel more in control of myself and my feelings. Claire has a compassionate and insightful approach that greatly supported my progress. I've recently been on a flight that went great and I managed to keep my anxiety at bay the whole time with the techniques I've learned, even when things got a bit more challenging. I highly recommend trying hypno and Claire's services.

Claire has a wonderful, relaxing and professional demeanour that had me completely at ease from the moment we met. Her sessions enabled me to make much needed, positive changes to my life that had been a long time coming. I can't thank Claire enough and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is looking to make changes and considering hypnotherapy.

Claire has helped me to understand the connection with situations in my past and the impact these has on my body, my feelings, and my reactions. She has helped me to understand what triggers stress and how my body reacts. This has given me a greater perspective and I have been able to ease the pressure I put on myself. In addition, Claire has guided me how to relax and create a calmer outlook of my life and explained the importance of speaking my truth. Her guided relaxation and hypnosis, with her lovely voice, have become an important tool in my day-to-day life in preparing for and managing important meetings and critical situations. .

Clair is amazing! I don’t know where to start, from day one she made me feel really comfortable and calm. I rang her with feelings of anxiety that seemed to come back after a long time, and she helped me remain calm, explained to me it’s a natural feeling and we just need to control it, and instead of running from the feeling more to control it, and gain confidence again. I couldn’t recommend Claire enough!

I highly recommend Claire to anyone that is looking into Hypnotherapy. She is incredibly compassionate and takes the time to listen, tailoring the sessions to specific needs. Incredibly grateful for her kindness, support and guidance.

After a few failed attempts at therapy, CBT mainly, I decided to try hypnotherapy - and within the first few minutes of chatting with Claire, I felt relieved and assured I was in good hands. Being completely new to hypnotherapy, I had no idea what to expect, but after the first session I was excited to see the outcome after a few more. I was instantly more positive and felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. The sessions are incredibly relaxing, and they work! I can't recommend Claire enough - I feel mentally free from anxiety for the first time in so long. Thank you!

I went to see Claire at the beginning of January 2022 following a friends recommendation. I must admit I was a little sceptical of hypnotherapy as it’s something I had never considered or believed in; however after witnessing the transformation in my friend/colleague, it gave me the mindset to at least give it a go. (I am so glad that I did as it has started me on an incredible journey and I’m not looking back). In as little as 6 weeks and 4 meetings with Claire, the changes I have seen in myself is simply quite amazing. My self confidence is growing and anxieties to specific work situations are no longer as fearful. I am still early stages into my hypnotherapy journey, but things I was struggling with prior to meeting Claire, have become so much easier and I am positively looking forward and valuing myself more and more each day. When you first meet Claire you soon realise how passionate she is about helping others. Claire really listened to me in our first meeting and explained everything in detail about what I should expect and how she could help me. I also had my first ever hypnosis therapy in our first meeting which felt strange but powerful. I have been 100% committed to Claire’s instructions and listened to the sound files at home in between face to face meetings. I will be forever grateful to Claire for everything she has done and is doing to help me. I am still on my journey as I realise there is no instant solution; but I have been extremely impressed in these last several weeks. I recommend Claire highly and my advice would be to ‘just give it a go’ and keep an open mind; Claire is truly amazing in what she does.Moreexpand_more
