Hypnotherapy In Bristol
Clairе Edwards DipHyp HWHP (GQHP) has extensive qualifications in this increasingly important field of health and wellbeing intervention. However, her success in meeting the individual needs of clients also comes from her jargon-free approach, warmth and understanding.
This is the basis on which she addresses a wide range of mental health issues, phobias, pain and surgery management and women’s health issues, to provide lasting benefits.
Hypnotherapy Via Zoom
When you need to stay at home or you cannot travel, the good news is hypnotherapy can be provided online all through Zoom. It’s convenient, easy to use and just as effective as working face-to-face.
Hypnotherapy is a safe and convenient alternative to face to face sessions. It is just as effective as working together in the clinic and follows the same structured approach. It’s useful if you are restricted by time, location, family commitments or medial conditions, making it accessible to all.

What is hypnotherapy?
There are clear reasons to choose Claire Edward Hypnotherapy elsewhere on this site. First, what does hypnotherapy involve?
Let’s start by making it clear this is in no way similar to the ‘hypnosis’ done from entertainment!
Claire Edwards is a health professional who specialises in a respected field of therapy.
Hypnotherapy is based on putting you into a deeply relaxed state. Often referred to as a trance. This then enables you to address issues and find solutions in a calm, open-minded manner.
Throughout, Claire ensures that each client feels safe, in control of their session, and able to make appropriate decisions.

What issues can be addressed with professional hypnotherapy?
There are many emotional, psychological and physical challenges that can be addressed working with this Bristol therapist skilled in hypnosis techniques. Either by visiting her purpose-design hypnotherapy clinic or by engaging in Claire Edward’s internet-based hypnotherapy sessions.
However, Claire specialises in certain core areas, where her substantial experience and training have regularly been focused:
- Fertility issues
- Depression
- Fears and Phobias
- Anxiety
- Pain Management
- Childbirth
- Post-Surgery Recovery
- Hypnosurgery
- Weight management
- Smoking cessation
If you have a special interest in these, or a general query about how hypnotherapy can be used, please don’t hesitate to contact Claire Edwards Hypnotherapy.
How would hypnotherapy help me?
Claire’s proven professional hypnosis techniques and counselling expertise are applied differently to meet the needs of each patient.
Medical research has shown that enabling patients to achieve this changed level of conscious awareness is perfectly safe when supported by this set of professional skills.
It enables the patient and therapist to tackle a diverse range of physical, mental and emotional goals.
It’s important to emphasise that you make decisions and remain in control. However, you are in a ‘suggestive’ frame of mind. This gives Claire the opportunity to focus your attention on your therapy targets and help you to find sustainable solutions.
Due to Claire’s medical science-based approach, and her own empathetic personality, patients feel cared for and comfortable at all times.
This is synergic with NHS advice on hypnotherapy. You can’t yet get hypnotherapy help via the NHS, but it’s a respected form of private healthcare intervention. The NHS recommends hypnotherapists are chosen on the basis of proven healthcare qualifications, accreditation under the Professional Standards Authority, and specialist knowledge of the best ways to improve mental health.
