Sharon Clare

Clinical Hypnotherapist

Sharon Clare is the founder of Sharon Clare Hypnotherapy. Sharon has dedicated her career to supporting others ensuring people with disabilities receive high-quality care while leading and coaching teams to thrive.

Sharon found deep fulfillment in her work, but the pressures of leadership particularly leading a social care organisation through the challenges of COVID, were immense. Like so many in high-pressure roles, she kept pushing forward and put others first, not fully realising the toll it had taken until much later. When an unexpected redundancy forced her to pause and reflect, she saw an opportunity to realign her work with her values in a way that was both impactful and sustainable.

That turning point led her to hypnotherapy, a discovery that transformed her own life. Now, as an accredited Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist, she helps professional women struggling with stress, burnout, or major life transitions to regain control and create lasting change. Her approach, rooted in neuroscience and solution-focused techniques, empowers clients to rewire the way they think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges.

Sharon also has a special passion for helping people overcome fears around surgery and medical procedures, an area of expertise shaped by her own experiences both as a teenager and a mother. During her hypnotherapy training, she also helped a child with a severe needle phobia gain the confidence to undergo much-needed surgery. These moments reinforced her belief in the mind’s ability to transform fear into calm and control, and now, she helps others do the same. Sharon is certified in the Rewind Technique - also known as the Fast Phobia Cure.

Sharon is an accredited member of the Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapists and a registered member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council. Sharon volunteers at the cancer care unit at her local hospital every week.

Outside of her work, Sharon finds peace in the open water, swimming year-round along the beautiful Northern Irish coast. What began as a way to cope with burnout has become a cherished ritual that keeps stress at bay.

Whatever challenges her clients face, Sharon believes that change is always possible and with the right approach, they can create a life that feels calmer, more fulfilling, and completely their own.
