Claire | Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapy Great Yarmouth

Are you struggling alone with the weight of anxiety? Do you find yourself putting on a brave face for those you love, while inside you feel tense, restless, or worn down by constant “what if” thoughts? Maybe sleep feels impossible, confidence has dipped, or a phobia is quietly shrinking the shape of your world making you avoid plans or dread moments others take for granted.

You don’t have to keep pushing through or pretending you’re fine. I work with women who feel exactly like this, they're overwhelmed, exhausted and ready for something to change. Together, we gently untangle anxious thought-loops, calm the body’s stress response and begin building back confidence.

My approach blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools with hypnosis: Practical strategies that can be implemented into your everyday life, with uniquely tailored sessions where you safely rehearse new responses and experience what calmness feels like again. Everything we do is at your pace, taking it step by step, so you feel supported and in control.

Clients tell me the relief they feel when they’re sleeping better, saying yes to things they’d been avoiding and feeling more steady, hopeful, excited and prepared for life without anxiety and fear running the show.

Who I Help

Women who feel:

• Constantly on edge, restless, or unable to switch off

• Stuck in avoidance patterns, saying no to plans they’d secretly love to join

• Panicked in situations others take for granted flying, driving, lifts, public speaking

• Controlled by a phobia birds, frogs, spiders

• Low in confidence, especially when hormones intensify the ups and downs

• Tired of holding it all together, and ready for gentle, practical support

What to Expect / How Sessions Work

1. Understand: We explore how your thoughts, feelings, and body responses are linked so you feel less “broken” and more understood.

2. Rehearse: In hypnosis, you safely practise calmer, healthier responses, so your body learns what relaxation and calm feels like again.

3. Apply: We design gentle, step-by-step actions that feel doable, not overwhelming.

4. Anchor: You leave with tools that become part of your everyday life, like a quiet inner toolkit you can lean on anytime.

Common Results

• A calmer body: less tension in your jaw & chest, less overwhelm

• A quieter mind: fewer “what ifs” and spirals at night

• Confidence returning: speaking up without dread, facing fears, trusting decisions

• A steadier mood: more balance, fewer highs and lows

• Feeling hopeful, lighter and able to look ahead without fear holding you back

FAQs

Will I lose control in hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state. You hear everything, remain in control, and we only work on what feels right for you.

How many sessions will I need?
Phobias often improve in 4–8 sessions. Broader anxiety can take longer, but most clients notice positive shifts early on.

What if I’ve tried other therapies before?
That’s okay, we’ll build on what’s been helpful. I have a unique toolkit that differs from 'talking' therapies. I look at the whole picture incorporating both your mind and your body. Because CBH is evidence-based, practical and structured I am giving you tools that last for life.

Most women choose in-person sessions here in Norfolk, as having a calm, private space away from daily life often makes it easier to focus. But if online therapy feels more manageable for you, I also offer sessions via Google Meet so you can choose what feels right.

Message me through this directory - via the send a message - button - with your main goal (e.g. “fly in 6 months”, “drive calmly”, “sleep better”) and a couple of times you’re free.

I’ll reply with options for your free intro call.
