Claire Oldham West Ltd

I needed help as my relationship had broken down. After looking at a few profiles. I went back to Claires. We spoke on the phone and I felt comfortable speaking to her as she is a good listener.

The process which Claire uses works. After the first session I could tell there was a difference. We continue with the sessions, Claire helped fix my mind set, reoccurring thoughts and views on issues I have had in my life.

She is professional and very qualified.

100% worth it.

Thank you More...

I slipped up and began smoking again, claire helped me the first time, so made sense to go back! I’m now smoke free again and plan to remain so, thanks again Claire, brilliant service and would recommend her to anyone who needs some support

Before booking my course of hypnotherapy with Claire I was unsure how this could work for me. After a lot of deliberation I decided to book a course of 3 sessions. I had tried counselling many years ago but I could not talk about my abuse.
Claire was amazing, she helped me deal with my issues without me going into too much detail.
After my sessions I was so surprised at how much this has changed me, I feel so much happier and for the first time in over 55 years I feel like a weight has been lifted and I can finally enjoy my life.
I would highly recommend Claire, what have you got to lose?
Thank you Claire, you are AMAZING. More...

Trust in Claire to help you. You will not regret it.
I first found Claire when looking on Bark for some talking therapy to help ease my worsening anxiety. Never did hypnotherapy enter my mind until Claire reached out to my request. After a 30 minute discovery call, i decided to give it a try. Claire’s warmth and professional nature made me feel so at ease, giving me the chance to process things I never thought I had been holding onto, as well as the things I knew I was struggling with. Zoom session one, I was down and a nervous wreck. By session three I was feeling a lot better and felt a sense of security I haven’t felt in a long time. Claire also provides you with coping techniques to help you as you go along and encounter life challenges. Thankyou so much Claire. More...

I am speechless ! I wanted to make some lifestyle changes so contacted Claire for a hypnotherapy session to eradicate my weekend bottle of wine . She did say I might need some emotional release but I thought not, just go to the lifestyle session. But within a few minutes of being in the hypnosis state, I became very emotional - Claire was right, she really knows her stuff. So we did a shift to focus on emotional release hypnotherapy instead of alcohol focus. The strange ( and wonderful!) thing is that once I had the emotional release, since that session I have been free of the desire for any alcohol at all !!! By dealing with my stuck childhood emotions, Claire was able to work out the link and rid me of my desire for the weekend wine ! I literally have no thoughts about it at all ! I am forever grateful. Thank you Claire ! More...

I cannot recommend Claire enough, she has helped me through a lot especially with my anxiety and panic attacks. Before I started with Claire I was on the edge of what felt like a panic attack every day, Claire helped me to get out of this and to calm me down which has helped me through a lot. She helped create a video that I use most mornings to help me relax before I started a stressful job. She has also helped me conquer my fear of water (nearly drowned when I was a child) I didn’t like my face in water in the shower / swimming pools / ocean and I can now feel confident that I am able to do this, I’m now getting my face under the shower and don’t feel any fear with this. If there are any fears I need to conquer in my future I will go back to Claire without thinking twice! Thank you so much Claire 💙 you honestly don’t know how much it means to have your help, More...

I had two sessions with Claire and found them to be extremely helpful and gave me the outcome I desired. I suffered for years with picking my nails (not biting so I couldn’t use the foul tasting varnish), it was so bad that they would bleed, look awful and also feel really painful. My family used to stop me every time they noticed but I felt overwhelmed with frustration each time and felt I had to be doing it. I used to be so embarrassed of my hands to the point I’d try to hide them when dealing with customers etc. at work. I had thought about hypnotherapy for years and finally decided it was time to give it a go. After just one session I stopped entirely which was a miracle, Claire was fantastic, she helped me to understand why I was doing it and completely changed my mindset on picking relating it to picking my childlike self’s fingers and causing pain to a little girl that I definitely didn’t want to do. Now I can go about my day without worrying about hiding my hands in every interaction, it’s a huge relief! I’m even encouraging others to stop picking and biting when I see them doing it (never thought I’d see the day)! I would definitely recommend Claire if you’re considering hypnotherapy, she is extremely genuine, easygoing and trustworthy. More...

Working with Claire was brilliant, our first session I was full of anger and had so much build up of emotions from my past and after 3 sessions it feels as if i am a new person. I am so much more calm and know how to regulate my emotions all thanks to Claire! More...

I have suffered with panic attacks for years ,afraid of being locked in places ,couldn't go in big building like hospitals ,shopping centres concerts etc had 3 sessions with claire ,she was amazing very understanding, I feel great finally went to see a live show and enjoyed it in stead of panicking thank you so much claire .

I contacted Claire because I suffer from Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD). This presents as persistent dizziness or swaying, for me this was at 80% of the day. I have had this for 2 years and previously suffered from severe vertigo for 7 months. I had become very down about this although I had received vestibular therapy both physically and through mindfulness. With the help of Claire I know feel that I have accepted this illness and how it affects my life which I believe I had not before my sessions. I feel more confident, have the capacity to use the tools my vestibular therapists taught me and I fell lighter and far more happier. I cannot thank Claire enough. There were times when I thought this will not work but here I am ready to face the world again. Thank you Claire More...

Before meeting Claire I was at rock bottom, I was on self destruct. Two sessions in and I am a completely different person. May sound weird but I have confidence, smiling, enjoying life again. The power of hypnosis is a wonderful thing. Thank you Claire xx More...

Claire took a different approach or mind-set to my problem of hands shaking when eating or drinking. For years I suffered from childhood trauma during meals (eaten in complete silence) and if we finished our meals we were pigs and if we left any we were called ungrateful (well not "called" but screamed at). When we were forced to pour our father a glass of wine, a drop touching the label meant being screamed at for ruining the label. There was other completely random slapping - the list is too long. I am not a believer in hypnosis or perhaps I should say I wasn't but it was an emotional experience. Claire had me view my younger self and asked me what I would say to my younger self from a third person aspect. So yes I think I was hypnotised but completely aware. My first realisation that something had shifted was going for a meal. The trauma had been so great I would need a pint as a calmer - not the best I admit and pass the car keys over. I'm not actually a great fan of being driven but I do like treating the better half to a meal out. Off we drive and I ordered without thinking a pint of Pepsi. Full to the brim, drank it without shaking and it was only after my better half said "That was fantastic". I'm thinking "What ?". "Did you enjoy your Pepsi ?" "Yes, why ?"... and then it dawned on me. Please deal with Claire rather than a DIY approach. Not cheap but worth it. More...

I’ve only had one session so far but I really felt like progress is already being made.

This is great news Debbie! Your mind is powerful, I am so pleased that you've already started to feel a shift. I will send over the free audio I mentioned to listen to in between session.

I found Claire has a very warm kind approach and I felt reassured and safe during my sessions.I have experienced a very difficult few years emotionally and didn't know what to do after suffering a breakdown last year. Claire spent time explaining how the sessions would be and how I will feel during and after.I felt so calm and my anxiety levels have decreased so dramatically that I am now able to sleep well at night with no panic attacks in the early hours.I would greatly recommend Claire's technique to anyone struggling. More...

Claire has been brilliant from start to finish with my hypnotherapy experience. In our sessions, I was given the tools to reconnect with my psychological mannerisms and together we created a place of calm and trust where we could collaborate our efforts together in order for her to help me achieve my initial goal, and then some! From the moment I saw her profile on Bark, to the moment we connected on the phone, it was clear she has more than enough experience dealing day in, day out with people who have a whole plethora of reasons they reach out for hypnotherapy. I was skeptical at first, but Claire certainly knows what she’s doing and how to make you feel at ease from first communication. I am extremely pleased with my outcome, and if you’re someone who’s not entirely sure about this type of opportunity, Claire has free downloads, multiple recorded sessions to further solidify her craft and profession, and taster sessions to introduce you to the magical world of hypnotherapy. Give it a go, and you shan’t be disappointed you gave it a try. Thank you Claire for helping me tackle my fears and putting me as ease through this process. 100% recommend. More...

Claire is actually brilliant! I underwent hypnosis with her in early October. Part of a small group, all remote, focussing on stopping eating chocolate. I had been hypnotised before, or so I thought, but this was nothing like that. Last time it 'did not work', so I was really skeptical. The 3 sessions I had were eye opening. It felt amazing, challenging and emotional. Tears were shed. I was fully immersed into the process and that felt wonderful. Since October 2nd I have eaten no chocolate, I can't face anything with it in. I don't even think about it as a choice. From full on skeptic to believer! More...

A positive experience. I am looking forward to my next session with Claire. She is so kind & understanding.

Claire gets straight to the emotions you need to release, no messing around! It’s surprising what feelings you can hide even from yourself without realising over the years. Feel like hypnotherapy once every few years to clear out old memories that aren’t serving you would be amazing for everyone, we pick up so much from other people in our daily lives. Claire has now allowed me to free some space in my brain for new experiences! Thank you!! More...

I was very sceptical about it for starters as couldn’t see how it was going to work but after years of anxiety issues running me down to the point of depression I didn’t know what else to do. I was put in contact with Claire and can honestly say her sessions have changed my life she is amazing at what she does makes you feel very at easy before doing anything, what I liked most with Claire is how she doesn’t expect preconceived thoughts from yourself like an ordinary therapy session, she bring it out in its raw form. Things I never even knew was an issue became highlighted and fixed there and then in the session. Claire really does know what she is doing she have given me a few relaxing audios to use outside of sessions which have helped a lot so it’s not just “in session” she is helping after and beyond so I would highly recommend her to anyone with any anxiety issues to get in contact it. More...

Initially I was worried if I would even be able to focus, listen and complete the exercises to find benefit. I was honest with Clare about how I felt anxious and I couldn’t focus; she was so patient and supportive and really made a difference. She tried different things to help me and I love how varied the session was. I feel I’m in a transition period and will most likely come back for other session to help with a completely different area of my life! If you’re unsure just go for it - I was desperate to feel some shift in how I feel and I absolutely have that. More...

Excellent, empathetic and very good

I approached Claire following a lack of confidence and anxiety. Claire's very diligent approach to preparing me for an exam and analysing the root causes was undeniably a massive help. I now feel much more confident and have successfully passed the exam. Thank you Claire More...

I recently had a remote hypnotherapy session with Claire, and it was absolutely the best experience I've ever had. Despite being virtual, Claire's warmth and professionalism made me feel completely at ease. Her expert guidance helped me release a lot of built-up emotion, leaving me feeling lighter and more at peace. Claire's ability to create such a transformative experience remotely is truly impressive. I highly recommend her to anyone considering hypnotherapy. More...

Have a really good relationship with Claire I feel. Some of my problems were very vague even to me at times.
At first I was thinking that the therapy wasn’t working. But through comments from others who didn’t know I was having therapy I realised things were better.

Claire is very professional and puts you at ease. The therapy has made differences for my anxiety.
So I recommend Claire highly, I plan to have more sessions to improve my life. More...

I cannot thank Claire enough! For well over 14 years I’ve suffered with an extreme needle phobia, the thought and sight of a needle sent me into absolute panic! After one fantastic session with Claire I’m now able to look at a needle, hold one and even press the tip of a needle against my own skin! I’m finally back in control and that wasn’t something I ever thought possible until hypnotherapy! Although that may seem small to a few people for me it’s absolutely amazing! For the whole 90 minutes I was at complete ease and with someone who has a phobia it’s difficult to trust that someone could ever possibly help you get over it… my irrational fear with needles honestly has been an extreme barrier for years… I’ve missed job opportunities, missed treatments for all kinds of things, been put under general anaesthetic for minor operations and missed immunisations all because of my fear! I now feel a lot more at ease and I hope I continue to keep control over my fear for needles.

I honestly cannot recommend Claire enough! If you’re at a point of absolute desperation as I was or simply feel like it is time for YOU to regain that control then I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Claire :) More...

Claire made me feel relaxed. I felt much better in myself after my session with her.

Brilliant massive changes after just one session

I was a seasoned hard core smoker who knew they should give up but thought they couldn't. I could not see how a couple of hypnotherapy sessions via Zoom would free me of a 35 year habit. But Claire proved me wrong and now its been over a year and I have not smoked any cigarettes and I know I never will again. If you want to give up smoking then try Claire...She was great...Absolutely recommend 100% More...

Working with Claire was a experience, such a calming and kind individual I instantly felt at ease from our phone call before the actual session. All the way through Claire made me feel at ease. And how I am feeling now is incredible I feel like after the hypnosis I have reset after many years of suffering from anxiety. I feel truly happy and at peace I cannot thank Claire enough and I look forward to working with her in the future. More...

I had two sessions with Clare. One for creativity and one for anxiety whilst driving, both sessions were really powerful and have been life changing. I have gone from writing nothing for 18 months to writing a novel in 4 months and my anxiety when driving has been notably improved. I can't thank or recommend Clare highly enough. More...

I was in a really bad place when I spoke to Claire, after therapy and trying to cope with things on my own I felt I was getting nowhere. After one session I've got from feeling suicidle to actually feeling like me again! Definitely reccomend and I will be back to stop smoking!!! Thankyou Claire! More...

Really enjoyed my session with Claire,made me feel comfortable,literally the day after I felt loads better within my self . she helped me to connect with my mom who had passed ,Claire helped me visually see my mom and I felt great comfort with this she looked younger and well .thank you claire More...

Fast response and really helpful

Professional .easy to talk to .puts you at ease

had my first Hypnotherapy session last week for PTSD and have tried everything to try and help and thought I would give this ago. wasn't sure what to expect or how it would work. all I know is I managed to deal with a few things I've never dealt with before, all with out having to talk about it. with Claires help and support throughout. I came away from my session feeling different, different in a good way! I know I need a few more sessions but look forward to diving in deeper and healing myself fully. More...

Claire is amazing! I suffered through years of crippling anxiety and panic attacks relying on coping techniques and just trying to carry on and nothing ever worked for me i tried everything i could : medication , therapy , exposure etc. Claire did some release therapy with me and i cant lie afterwards i was almost waiting for the anxiety and panic to start again as it always has its been 4 months and i still have not had a panic attack . Claire was so easy to contact and book in with and she has remained so helpful before and even after the therapy. She is so reasonably priced for what she does.
I really do recommend her highly to anyone . She is worth every single penny which may i add she also then continued to help afterwards by sending some free audio. Will 100% continue to use and recommend claire. More...

Clare was focused on my needs she wanted to help with my anxiety and didn't push for the reason why.she helped me feel relieved at the end of the session

Hi, i had very bad IBS which caused me alot of gas and pain in my stomach and also very bad diarrhea. I couldn't go outside and live a normal day to day life as I was scared of having an accident. Claire has helped me with just 2 sessions, I don't have diarrhea or pains anymore.. I was very sceptical at first but honestly she has changed my life for the better and I'm very grateful for that. More...

Claire was extremely helpful and explained everything fully. Her session was very helpful

So I am going to do this review as honest as possible , at the start I was very sceptical , afraid and anxious , after my first conversation with Claire I felt at ease a little , when it was time for the session I was a nervous wreck and thinking how can Claire help me just by a face time meeting , how wrong was I ! !!
Throughout the session I cried something I don’t do often , Claire opened my mind and took me to places that I had hid down for over 30 years , as the session went on I felt more calm and comfortable , when the session came to an end the relief I felt was unreal I could not believe how different I felt , I have been a jaw clencher for years and since the session it is so strange but I have not clenched once , I had the best nights sleep last night that I have had in years
I don’t believe in Miracles but I’m sure this is a close feeling , from feeling panicy and shakey avoiding family avoiding situations not leaving my house daily to feeling any relief is an amazing feeling , Claire is kind patient and very honest I can’t wait for my next session
I would 110% recommend this to any one xx More...

Claire is so incredibly helpful and my daughter feels an improvement in her mental health already.

Wonderful experience i feel much better after my sessions for childhood trauma very Impressed with Claire as I'm 53 now and thought it was just part of my life but it doesn't have to be thanks so much 😊

Claire is an amazing therapist! She is very professional and knowledgeable. Claire is incredibly easy to talk to and puts you at ease instantly. I have had hypnotherapy with Claire and this has greatly helped my anxiety. I would highly recommend contacting Claire if you need help with anxiety. More...

We came to Claire as a last resort to help our mother, she was so warm and welcoming from start to finish. Mum has had two sessions with Claire so far and has made a lot of improvement, she no longer walks around all night with anxiety.
