Claire Sankey (Dip Hyp, MHS)
What would you like to change?
I help people who are ready to change a variety of issues including:
Stress
Anxiety
Phobias
Habit change
Emotional eating
Stopping smoking/vaping
Hypnotherapy with Claire (in Salisbury + online) provides a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your inner world, particularly the beliefs that shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Hypnotherapy involves guiding you into a relaxed state of trance or hypnosis, in which your mind is more flexible and open to change. You'll feel calm and peaceful, and the usual chatter from your thoughts (conscious mind) will quieten down, allowing us access to reprogramme your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is incredibly powerful; it stores the beliefs that shape how you perceive yourself, and drives most of your behaviour.
Change your mind, change your life.

If you have ever had a diagnosis of Epilepsy, Narcolepsy, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorder, Psychotic Episodes, Schizophrenia, or any other psychiatric condition, or if you are engaging in self-harm or suicidal behaviours then unfortunately hypnotherapy with Claire will not be suitable for you. If you have any questions, please don;t hesitate to get in touch.
What happens in your sessions?
Your sessions will last 50 minutes. Each session will include a catch up on your progress, and then I will guide you into a deeply relaxing state of hypnosis, to reprogramme your subconscious. At the end of each session you will receive the audio recording of your hypnosis and we'll agree which areas you are going to work on before your next session.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically, a course of hypnotherapy lasts anything from 4-8 sessions, with most people experiencing results within a few weeks.
For a stopping smoking treatment, you will only need 2 sessions: one initial consultation of 50 minutes, one hypnotherapy session of 90 minutes.
Can anyone by hypnotised?
As long as you are ready and willing for change, and open to the process then you will be able to experience the benefits of hypnosis. It is common for people to feel sceptical, and we can discuss this in your session. For some, learning about the science of hypnosis is helpful to put any doubts aside. All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis; I am here as your guide but you are the healer. As long as you believe in the process, you will achieve the results you are looking for.
Why choose Claire as your hypnotherapist?
I have been holding space and guiding people in their healing for many years. Through my training, my work with clients and my own personal healing journey I have gained a deep understanding of the mind-body through a scientific, nervous system lens and also through my spiritual practice. I weave the principles of yogic philosophy and the values of mindfulness together with research and neuroscience to help you understand, explore and discover your true self; compassionate, loving, worthy. I hold a professional diploma in Hypnotherapy, have trained specifically in delivering hypnotherapy for stress, anxiety, phobias, weight challenges, confidence, self-esteem and am committed to (and trained in) trauma-informed practice. As a member of the Hypnotherapy Society I receive regular supervision and uphold our member values of client care and confidentiality.
Where do sessions take place?
Online hypnotherapy sessions take place on Zoom. You will need to have a quiet place where you can be undisturbed for the duration of the session, and a chair in which you can comfortably recline and relax.
In-person hypnotherapy sessions take place in a cosy therapy room in Salisbury city centre.
