Sharon Clare Hypnotherapy

17/09/2025

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.

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.

🏖️ Holidays should feel exciting… not terrifying.
But for so many people, fears and phobias turn dream trips into something to dread. Flying. Heights. Insects. Bridges. Even just being far from home.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep missing out.

In my latest blog, I explore why holiday fears are so common, how they affect people, and how the Rewind Technique can help you feel free again — often in just three sessions.

🌀 Still tired—no matter what you do?
You’re eating well. Sleeping early. Taking supplements.
So why does your body still feel flat, foggy, or run down?

You’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve just written an article for Brainz Magazine exploring why deep exhaustion often isn’t just physical—it’s neurological, emotional, and *systemic.

When the nervous system is stuck in stress mode, the body can’t switch fully into rest and repair—even when you’re doing all the “right” things.

✨ Perfect for:
🔹 Chronic fatigue
🔹 Burnout
🔹 Post-viral tiredness
🔹 That deep tiredness no one else seems to see

You don’t have to push through. You can support your system—and begin to feel like *you* again.

😬 Grinding your teeth at night? Waking with jaw pain or tension headaches?

You’re not alone—and it may be more than just a bad habit.

Bruxism and TMJ issues are often signs that the brain is stuck in stress mode, even while you sleep.

In my latest blog, I explore the neuroscience behind these conditions—and how hypnotherapy can help interrupt the cycle.

Have you ever picked up your phone to check one thing, only to find yourself still scrolling 30 minutes later? You know you should stop, but the pull is too strong. And when you finally put your phone down, instead of feeling good, you feel drained, anxious, or even low. Why does this happen? It all comes down to dopamine—the brain’s feel-good chemical—and the delicate balance our brains try to maintain....
