Authentic You
Transformational Therapy
If you’ve clicked on this page, perhaps you, or someone you love, is struggling.
This is a step in the right direction and one you can feel proud of.
Power comes in making decisions.
The fact that you are here means you are ready, just as I once was at the start of my own healing journey.
You can feel reassured that, through my own relentless quest for answers, I truly know what works and what doesn’t. I am very grateful to be in a position to share this knowledge with you.
Each of the modalities I bring to you are highly effective in their own right. But when combined with a personalised and embodied approach, you can experience an empowering transformation from the inside out.
Authentic You Therapy Methods
-
The InCorr® Method is a structured, body-centered framework that safely and gently guides you in uncovering the root cause of your suffering to heal the pain of the past. This powerful, goal-oriented practice is a cutting-edge response to the latest research which defines trauma as not something that happens to us, but within us. Read more here.
-
This approach helps you to resolve issues with which you may have struggled for some period of time. Embracing classical and analytical hypnosis, Solution Focused Hypno-Psychotherapy begins with counselling, uncovering what holds you back, what you really want, and how to achieve it. It is also a powerful technique for uncovering deeper issues through regression and to employ the mind and body for healing and pain management.
-
CBT and hypnotherapy are both evidence-based and scientifically proven methods which, when combined, are like ‘therapy on steroids’, helping you to overcome unwanted behaviours, phobias and challenges so you can be your best self.
-
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is powerful coaching which helps you to understand your own mind, and make rapid, genuinely effective and permanent change. Ericksonian Hypnosis, an important element of NLP, is an elegant and effective way of uncovering what you really want on the basis that the answers always lie within, no matter how deeply buried they may be.
-
As a PTSD and Trauma-Informed therapist, I use the BLAST Technique® (Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment). This practice treats PTSD efficiently and compassionately, with the aim to permanently heal embedded traumas or remove unconscious blocks.
The learning, wisdom and understanding that you gain from the process allows you to let go of what no longer serves you, so that you can create space for what does.
-
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, is a method that involves tapping on specific points of the body to help manage emotions and relieve stress and anxiety.
-
The ‘Mindfulness Now’Programme is a scientifically evidenced approach to helping with many unwanted conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress and pain. Representing a convergence of ancient contemplative traditions, along with modern neuroscience, mindfulness is not considered to be a therapy, even though its effects are profoundly therapeutic. I cannot wait to show you just how much this daily practice will transform your life. It’s the first step home.
-
Gestalt Therapy is, by definition, person-centred: it focuses on the present environment and experiences that you are individually facing, and how this impacts your mental health. This practice goes hand in hand with IFS (Internal Family Systems), a model which divides the mind into subpersonalities - or ‘parts’. Together, this will help us to understand how different parts of your mind interact with the world around you.
-
I trained with The Guided Meditation Framework as an Immersive Meditation Leader, and I have a range of bespoke offerings for both individuals and groups. See Authentic You Meditation for more information.
Authentic You Therapy is not a ‘one
size fits all’ approach - far from it.
You may come to me with a particular symptom or problem, but as we peel back the layers in our work together, other issues that you had been previously unaware of might now come to light. These insights lead the way in our journey together. They lead the way home.
The modalities and length of our work together will depend on your situation and aims for therapy. If you decide you would like to go ahead with deeper, trauma-based psychotherapy, where we find and heal the root cause of your suffering, a conscious contract and commitment to work together for a minimum of 6 months is required by both parties.
Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness and EMDR can be incorporated into this process or offered as standalone services for those who do not want longer term psychotherapy. I see clients both in person and on Zoom - again, this is tailored to what suits you.
Testimonials
“I finally got round to writing something for you if you want to put it on your website cos I’d like people to know if you need help Clare will help you. I went with OCD and then when you told me you saw something deeper you kept steering me away from the worries and got me to relax and listen to my body. I hated it at first and then there he was bingo little me. Never cried like that. Life changing. Would never have believed something could have been so powerful. Nuts but amazing. You deserve so much thanks”.
Gabe
OCD - then root cause psychotherapy and hypnosis
You changed my life. I’m no longer that feeling that horrible sadness and I’ve been letting myself be ‘less than perfect but more than enough’. I can’t believe I lived like that all the time and it is a real feeling of freedom. You don’t know what you’ve been carrying until it’s gone. And it’s really gone! I am sad sometimes only because I wish I’d done this sooner and it was worth everything and more. You are changing so many lives”.
Mel
Childhood Trauma - Root Cause
“Every time I feel that feeling I just put on my earphones and have a reset for 10 minutes. Hearing my wife and son’s voices just reminds me what’s at stake. I can’t thank my wife enough for doing this for me - I owe her and Clare my continued sobriety. Update - I just wanted to tell you that it’s been 2 years since I touched a drop of alcohol and 7 months since I touched a cigarette - not even a vape! You are literally a life saver. So grateful.
Jason
Recovering alcoholic (and ex smoker)
“When I came to you I didn’t think anyone or anything could help me. I’ve had anxiety since a teenager but it got so much worst after my first child. I thought it was just post-natal depression but when I broke down at work I knew that I had to get help. You made me feel so safe and put me at ease. When you explained why this was happening especially since Ella and we went through the layers and triggers I didn’t feel so useless. It felt so strange listening, being in my body. But you were so patient. That time you made me laugh and cry at the same time was like two worlds connecting the old me I’d forgotten that is now the new me. I wish everyone could experience this. That dread has gone and I am so happy I can enjoy this special time so glad I found you”.
Suzanne
Anxiety and panic attacks, new mum
“I just wanted to say thank you for helping me deal with you know who. Things just aren’t getting to me anymore and I’m even saying no. It’s so bloody liberating. You just saw the whole thing in a way I hadn’t even considered. I feel like I got a coach and therapist in one. I finally got some balls!”
Rachel
Work and boundary issues
“I was so scared going into school every day worrying what I would face next. I loved the way I was given a script of affirmations to read out loud for my own special recording, with my mum and dad’s voices on there too. I listen to it every night, even though now school is so different and I don’t have to deal with that girl anymore.”
