About Claire

Claire Williamson, Dip, CP, Dip, Hyp

It is my passion to help my clients reach their potential and become the best they can be. Taking that first step to contact me can in itself be empowering.

Hypnotherapy is safe and extremely affective, generally only requiring minimal sessions to get to the place where you want to be. You really can change and overcome the problems that have been holding you back in your life. Using my skills, I will help you overcome your psychological, emotional and behavioural problems. Whether you are feeling stressed, have been suffering with depression or anxiety or have a fear or phobia that has been holding you back or maybe a weight loss issue or addiction. I can help you make the required changes to greatly improve your life. I’m passionate about helping you get a better life by moving forwards and making the changes that you deeply desire. Enabling you to feel more confident, happy and enjoy your life. We will work together to free you from unhelpful behavioural patterns and negative thinking.

Over the years, Claire’s clientele has grown and the feedback she has received has been amazing. Having a successful practice in Southampton, Claire is happy to conduct remote sessions in any other area of the country or even internationally.

She believes it is important to choose a therapist who you feel is right for you and someone you will feel comfortable and safe with regardless of your location.

Some people have been known to be sceptical about hypnotherapy, probably because they know little about how it actually works. Or maybe they are worried that they might lose control, but rest assured you are always totally in control throughout the session. In the past there has been some stigma attached, but more and more people are realising how beneficial hypnotherapy can be. Generally getting much quicker results than having months of counselling. Hypnotherapy works by communicating with the subconscious mind. During the waking state we can sometimes be unaware of this area of the mind. Learned associations that are formed in our subconscious mind are not always beneficial to us even though you might be aware that this particular pattern is no longer needed or wanted. Once in a relaxed state of hypnosis we can change negative habits and thoughts stored in the subconscious to more positive behaviours. Using positive suggestions and visualisations to the subconscious works far better than using willpower or logic alone. It is a very natural state which everybody goes in and out of throughout the day, for example when you are driving your car or deeply immersed in watching the television. I’ve witnessed some amazing results with my clients and these results can be life changing. To see my clients make such positive changes to their lives is truly rewarding.

I work from my home in Southampton either face-to-face or remotely depending on how far away you live, in comfortable and quiet surroundings where we will work together to resolve your issue. I really empathise with my clients as many of the issues presented to me, I have at some point experienced myself. Having experienced many of my own challenges in life enables me to completely understand how these issues can really hold you back. As I have overcome so many issues myself, particularly given my age and life experience, I know it is possible to change and really have a more fulfilling life. I really want to emphasise that you can and will make amazing changes. I provide a safe, confidential, caring and professional service to all my clients. I’m a great listener allowing you the opportunity to talk as much or as little about yourself as you feel comfortable with. I care about each and every one of my clients and I understand some people can be reticent and not want to talk too much about themselves. This is fine as long as I have an understanding of your problem we will work together to make the desired changes possible.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a form of complimentary therapy, quite simply a state of altered awareness in which your subconscious mind becomes open. After being guided into a deep relaxation, positive suggestions are used to bring about subconscious change, to thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Once you are fully relaxed, the subconscious opens and the barrier to change is possible. This allows us to work together resulting in you being free from any burdens which may have held you back.
