Helping you reduce anxiety, stress, fears & phobias through Clinical Hypnotherapy. Belfast • Ballymoney • Garvagh • Online. Book your Initial Consultation today.

My work is guided by a simple purpose — to help people feel safe, calm, and empowered from within. After over 35 years in healthcare, including NHS and senior leadership roles, I followed my path into Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy, bringing together neuroscience, compassion, and intuition to support genuine change. I’m particularly passionate about helping people facing medical treatment, surgery, or radiotherapy, where mind-body tools can make a profound difference to comfort and wellbeing. Sessions available in Belfast, Lisburn, Garvagh, and online.

When You’re Too Embarrassed to Ask for Help - Some fears and habits don’t come from weakness — they begin as protection.
Maybe it started in childhood, or after something difficult happened.
Over time, the brain learned to stay alert — even when the danger passed.
In this video, I explore why the emotional brain can get stuck in survival mode and how, through calm focus and understanding, we can teach it safety again.
Many people live quietly with issues that feel too personal to talk about:
• adult bladder urgency or bedwetting
• panic around swallowing or eating
• fear of vomiting, fainting, or medical procedures
• compulsive checking or reassurance-seeking
• night waking or bedtime dread
• health anxiety or body-focused worry
• avoidance of travel, social settings, or specific places
• intrusive thoughts or habits that feel “strange” or isolating
These aren’t character flaws.
They’re protective responses that never switched off.
Through solution-focused hypnotherapy and neuroscience-informed approaches, the brain can learn to stand down again — gently, safely, and permanently.

I was delighted to be invited to join the Radiography team at Belfast Trust for their World Radiography Day celebrations.
The event was full of warmth, connection, and purpose — a reflection of the care this team brings to patients every single day.
It’s a privilege to collaborate with the Radiotherapy Department, the Macmillan Cancer Support Service, and the wider Trust as part of our ongoing pilot exploring how hypnotherapy can support people through treatment.
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute quietly to a service that already gives so much.

Notice your thoughts, don’t fight them. Calm comes from observing, not controlling.

Overthinking and rumination happen when the brain’s default mode network stays overactive.
That’s why it can feel impossible to switch off — your mind keeps replaying the same worries and “what-ifs.”
One simple way to calm this pattern is through structured focus.
When you give your brain a single task — reading, colouring, gardening, or anything that requires gentle concentration — the prefrontal cortex (your focus centre) switches on, and the default mode network (where worry lives) quiets down.
This is one of the key techniques I teach patients going through cancer treatment — to help them steady their thoughts, manage fear, and reconnect with a sense of control during such an uncertain time.
You’re not distracting yourself. You’re training your brain for calm.
Start with ten minutes a day. Every time you bring your attention back to the task, you’re strengthening calm, confident pathways.

Radiotherapy anxiety and MRI fear are more common than you might think.
Many people feel trapped, panicked, or overwhelmed — even though they know the treatment itself is safe. The brain’s fear centre reacts automatically, and the body follows.
Clinical hypnotherapy helps retrain that response, calming the primitive brain and restoring a sense of safety and control.
Whether you’re preparing for radiotherapy, MRI, or another medical procedure, there is a way to feel calmer and more in control.
I offer specialist one-to-one sessions , and designed for these situations — in person or online — so you can learn practical tools to steady your mind and body before, during, and after treatment.
Calm body, calm brain, calm treatment experience.

Negative rumination is like getting caught in a loop—your mind replaying the same worries over and over. The more you do it, the more anxious your brain becomes. The good news? You can learn to step out of the loop and find calmer, clearer thinking.

Hi everyone! I’m Sharon Clare, a Clinical Hypnotherapist working with clients in Belfast, Lisburn, and Garvagh. One of my key areas of focus is persistent pain—helping people understand why it continues even after an injury has healed, and how the brain and nervous system can be retrained to reduce it.
I often work with conditions such as chronic back or neck pain, migraines, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome, and I especially enjoy supporting women who juggle work, family, and everything in between.
🎥 In this short video, I explain why pain can persist and how clinical hypnotherapy helps calm the nervous system.
💡 Women In Business Members perk: Enjoy 15% off all sessions.

If this resonates, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help you reclaim the space pain has taken in your life.

I’ve just recorded a short video at Body and Mind in Garvagh — my new therapy space from this Friday!

In it, I talk about how I help people through Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy — from managing anxiety, low mood and phobias to building confidence, improving sleep and feeling more in control. I also share a short focus on my work with young people (age 12+), helping them overcome fears and phobias before they become longer-term issues.

To celebrate the move, I’m offering 5 FREE Initial Consultations (normally £100) to anyone who messages me the word GARVAGH — whether it's for yourself or a young person in your care.

If you're curious about how hypnotherapy can help, feel free to reach out or share this with someone it might support.
