about claire’s approach

About me

i am a CBT Hypnotherapist, Coach, mum of two girls, and the steady hand navigating a wonderfully chaotic ADHD household. After two decades as a female leader in global businesses, i know exactly what it means to carry pressure, push through fear, and rise anyway.

my career was built in meeting rooms, leading large teams and managing nine‑figure business portfolios, all while privately overcoming my own anxieties. That lived experience is now my superpower. i understand the internal battles women face because i’ve fought them myself — and i’m proof that you can rewrite the story.

Female empowerment isn’t just a passion for me; it’s personal. As a mother of two young girls, i’m fiercely committed to creating a world where women feel confident, capable, and unapologetically themselves. i know how tough it can be to be a woman today — the expectations, the mental load, the constant shape‑shifting — and i’ve built my hypnotherapy practice to be a place where women can finally exhale.

i blend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Coaching, and my own lived experience into unique, deeply supportive methods.

i now help women move through periods of change with clarity, courage, and compassion — whether you’re rebuilding confidence, navigating anxieties & identity shifts, or stepping into the next version of yourself.

When I had my first daughter 5 years ago, things started to change and my eyes were opened up to a world outside of work and how important it is to make time for yourself and your family. Now after having my second daughter, I very much look at my life in a different way and family comes first, however, I still continue to grow my career alongside this.

The goals I had 15 years ago are definitely not my goals now. I love learning and any new skill I develop at work or in my personal life is a huge win. Success is definitely not defined by money, as I had thought in my 20s.

Over the past few years, I have enjoyed working more closely with colleagues, friends, mentees and clients to help them navigate a number of the same challenges I have been through in my career. So much so, I decided to train as a coach and now help these people on a professional level to work through their goals and challenges in life.

I specialise in helping both men and women returning from parental leave or career breaks to ensure they can still have the career and family life they dream of. I do, however, continue to work with clients across a number of different areas relating to business, career and life.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your journey!
