5 STAR GOOGLE REVIEWS

I really enjoyed the introduction session and Claire’s logical explanation around the conscious and subconscious brain. It actually made a huge difference in understanding how you can rationalise and overcome some of the issues I was addressing. The following relaxation and visualisation sessions were great and I have achieved far more than I thought I could. It has left me feeling that I have control over my actions and it’s made a significant difference.

Claire, at Bright Star Hypnotherapy is a professional and approachable Solution Focussed Hypnotherapist. If you want to explore how hypnotherapy can help you move forward in life, I would recommend a visit to Claire.

I contacted Claire when I was in a very dark place. I realised as soon as we met that Claire's method of working, concentrating on relaxation, was precisely the method I needed. She was instantly approachable, warm and friendly and I would highly recommend Claire as an excellent practitioner. She has made such a difference to the way I approach stressful situations, having provided me with excellent tools to cope. Friends and family have noticed the difference in my mood. Thank you Claire for your help and support over the weeks that we spent together.

I cannot believe the difference that Claire has made; I sought Claire's help to try and manage my arachnophobia- with two pre-schoolers I really wanted to feel more in control when alone in the house and faced with an eight legged beastie. The old me would have felt sick at the sight of one, panicked, found excuses to leave the house, avoided rooms etc until husband was home to evict the spider.

I only had three sessions. In the couple of months following my therapy I’ve already been able to scoop spiders onto bits of paper and pop them outside and trap the big ones under glasses and remove them without fear. I never could have imagined doing this beforehand and the best bit is I’ve genuinely felt calm, in control and able to chat about our little visitors with the kids who are young enough that they will have no idea that I’ve previously been afraid of them.  Recently my husband pulled a massive cardboard box out of the shed and literally tens of massive spiders came racing over it towards me in the garden. I would previously have run screaming for the hills, but I just commented on how many there were and I think he was more bothered than I was!

The therapy didn’t involve any actual spiders - I remember being nervous that one would be produced. Just talking, and relaxing on Claire’s lovely couch. Her rates were super reasonable and I cannot believe how my whole response to spiders has changed so quickly. Would recommend to anyone wanting to make any sort of change - just chat through the options with Claire. Thanks from all of us Claire, Helen M x

I thought you would like to know that I have managed to have my first jab. I was able to go to the vaccination centre with my husband at closing time when there was hardly anyone else there. I wasn't exactly dignified and it took a while for me to allow the nurse to do it but I didn't feel anything and I didn't pass out or vomit, so I consider that a huge success. Thank you for working with me, I'm sure it helped. I'm feeling really positive about the whole thing and hopefully I'll be OK for my 2nd jab, but I may contact you for a 'top up' closer to the time if I feel I need it. Thanks again for your help,

Thought id give you and update and would love to say a huge thank you!!!  Its been nearly two weeks now completely tobacco and weed free :) I've had all the withdrawal symptoms, fatigue, irritability, nausea, tight chest and I still get cravings, but feel strong enough to not act upon them! And know it will only get easier :)  Thank you so so much :)
