Hi, I’m Sharon. With over 35 years of experience in Health and Social Care, including 12 years at Executive level, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people receive quality care while leading and coaching my team to thrive both personally and professionally. I loved my work—it was deeply fulfilling to make a difference in people’s lives every day. But experiences like leading a social care organisation through the challenges of COVID was an experience like no other. The responsibility for so many lives was overwhelming at times, and, like many in the industry, I didn’t fully realise the toll it had taken until much later. We had no time to process what we were going through—we just kept going, caring for others and setting our own needs aside, grateful when it was finally over. But the demands of such a busy and high-pressure career eventually took their toll. Facing burnout and an unexpected redundancy gave me the space to reflect and recognise the lasting impact of those years. For me, it was also a turning point—a chance to find a new path where I could continue helping others in a way that felt sustainable and aligned with my values. I discovered hypnotherapy and it changed my life. So, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of a busy, stressful life, struggling to cope after a difficult experience like covid or redundancy, or wondering if there’s more to life, I’ve been there and I’m here to guide you toward solutions that work for you. My approach is rooted in helping you uncover and use your own inner resources to make long term change to how you think, feel and respond to life. I also have a special passion for supporting individuals who are facing a fear of surgery or medical procedures, helping them replace anxiety with calm and confidence. Whatever challenges you’re facing, you don’t have to go through them alone, and change is possible.

About Sharon Clare Hypnotherapy
Is Life Feeling Like a Roller Coaster You Can’t Control?
Let’s Change the Ride.
Life’s highs and lows can feel like being strapped into a roller coaster. At times, the climb seems steady—work, family, and daily responsibilities ticking along—but then, without warning, the sharp drops come. Stress builds, sleep disappears, and you’re left wondering how much longer you can hang on. The twists and turns feel relentless, and even the brief moments of calm can be overshadowed by the fear of what’s next.
Maybe you feel:
• Overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list.
• Stuck in a cycle of stress, anxiety, or burnout.
• Helpless in the face of life changes like redundancy or uncertainty.
• Unable to enjoy life’s highs because you’re bracing for the next fall.
It’s exhausting, isn’t it? But what if you could step back, take control, and learn to navigate life’s twists and turns with confidence and clarity?
But here’s the good news: things can change.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a powerful, practical approach designed to help you move forward—not by focusing on the past, but by building a brighter future. Using gentle, evidence-based techniques, I’ll help you break free from fear and regain control. You’ll discover how to calm your mind, retrain unhelpful thought patterns, and unlock your natural confidence.
Whether you’re facing burnout, a phobia, preparing for surgery, or struggling with stress, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can provide the tools to create real, lasting change. With a focus on positive action, we’ll work together to transform how you think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges.
It’s time to step off the roller coaster and into a calmer, more confident version of yourself. Let’s get started.
Personal Training for Your Mind
Think of hypnotherapy as personal training—only instead of working on your body, we focus on your mind. Just like a personal trainer helps you build strength and reach your fitness goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for your mental wellbeing.
When you see a personal trainer, they start by finding out where you are now and what you want to achieve. Together, you set realistic goals and create a step-by-step program to move you closer to those goals. Hypnotherapy works in much the same way.
