Real People. Real Results.
As someone that has struggled with anxiety/panic most of my life, I decided to be open to trying something different. I've seen psychologists on and off for years, which definitely has its place but I just felt I needed something else. I worked with Claire over four online sessions on the claustrophobia I've had with trains and tunnels. Last weekend I caught a train from the suburbs into the city, and then through the city circle tunnels. I honestly hadn't done that in years! I almost couldn't believe I was doing it, and only with very low-level anxiety as opposed to full-blown panic.
I've seen a huge improvement with anxiety and been given tools to help me manage moving forward. Claire creates a safe and warm environment.
I only had 2 sessions. After the second session I felt a weight had been lifted. I now have a clarity I didn't have before as well as the tools and the mindset to live an anxiety-free future. I'm extremely grateful to Claire.
I have been working with Claire to overcome my fears with public speaking. The techniques she has taught me have been incredibly effective.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You
Hypnotherapy helps you manage anxiety, fears, habits and stress by changing the way your mind and body respond. Here are some of the most common issues I help clients with, in person and online.
Common Questions About Hypnotherapy
How is hypnotherapy different from counselling or seeing a psychologist?
It's faster (4-6 sessions vs months or years), more directive (we actively work towards solutions together), and accesses your unconscious mind where 90% of your mental processes happen. Instead of just talking about your problems, we rewire the patterns causing them.
Does online hypnotherapy work as well as in-person?
Yes! Many clients find online sessions even more comfortable. As long as you have a quiet space and can see me on video, it's just as effective as in-person sessions. You're in your own familiar environment, which can actually help you relax more.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients notice significant improvement within 4-6 sessions. Some feel relief after just one session. Phobias and specific fears often resolve even faster, sometimes in 2-3 sessions.
Will I lose control or do embarrassing things?
No. You're fully aware and in control the entire time. Clinical hypnosis is therapy, not stage entertainment. You can open your eyes and move around whenever you want. No one can make you do anything you don't want to do.
