Clinical hypnotherapy, NLP and breathwork with Clare Mortimer, stress strategist
Everyone's story is different. For some it's the anxiety that's taken up permanent residence, the mind that won't switch off no matter how tired the body is. For others it's the confidence that has gradually eroded, the self-doubt that's become the loudest voice in the room. Maybe it's a fear that's been quietly running your decisions, a habit you keep circling back to, or a relationship with food that no diet has ever really addressed.
What most of these have in common is that they aren't solved at the surface level. Knowing what you should do differently, wanting to change, even trying hard to change, isn't enough when the pattern driving the problem is operating below conscious awareness. That's the level this work reaches.
All sessions are delivered via secure video call, so wherever you are in the UK or internationally, professional support is available from the privacy of your own home.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
You know the feeling. The mind that won't stop running even when you're exhausted. The chest that tightens before you've even identified what you're anxious about. The constant low-level sense that something is wrong, even when you can't point to what it is.
Anxiety isn't random and it isn't permanent. It's a stress response that has got stuck, a system designed to protect you in short bursts running continuously instead. When demand consistently outpaces capacity, the nervous system stays on alert even when the immediate pressure has passed, scanning for the next threat, rehearsing the next problem, unable to find the off switch.
Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious processes keeping that alarm running. It calms the response at its root, breaks the thought loops that feed it, and gives the nervous system permission to settle. Most people notice a tangible difference within the first two to three sessions, not because they've been talked into feeling better, but because the pattern driving it has actually changed.
→ let’s have a chat about what’s been going on.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
Low confidence rarely appears from nowhere. More often it has been worn down gradually, through relationships that chipped away at self-worth, environments that punished getting things wrong, or years of absorbing other people's criticism until it became the inner voice. By the time most people seek help with it, they can't remember what it felt like to trust themselves.
The critical inner voice isn't the truth about who you are. It's a learned pattern, and learned patterns can be updated. Hypnotherapy works at the level where those beliefs are actually stored, not by papering over them but by changing the subconscious script generating them. The result is a quieter internal critic, a steadier sense of self, and the ability to move through the world without the constant second-guessing.

Fears & Phobias
A phobia is a subconscious pattern, a threat response the mind attached to a specific trigger and filed under genuine danger. Logic doesn't touch it because it isn't a logical process. Telling yourself there's nothing to be afraid of rarely changes anything because the response isn't happening at the conscious level where that reasoning lives.
Hypnotherapy works directly with that subconscious filing system, updating the response at its source so what once triggered panic begins to feel manageable, even neutral. This can happen faster than most people expect, often within one to three sessions depending on the specific fear and how long it has been in place.
Common areas include driving, flying, public speaking, heights, needles and specific animals, but if something is limiting your life it's worth a conversation regardless of how unusual it seems.
Weight Loss & the Virtual Gastric Band
The fog eating. The glass of wine that becomes a bottle before you've made a conscious decision. The need to finish everything on the plate even when you're full. The cravings that hit hardest precisely when you're stressed, exhausted or overwhelmed.
These aren't habits born from lack of self-control. They're stress responses. When the body is under chronic stress, elevated cortisol actively drives cravings for high-sugar and high-fat foods while suppressing GLP-1, the hormone responsible for signalling fullness and regulating appetite. The body is chemically working against you, and no diet plan addresses that.
It also explains why so many people struggle when they stop weight loss injections. The medication mimics GLP-1 artificially, but if the underlying stress patterns haven't changed, the cravings, the emotional eating, and the automatic habits simply reassert themselves once it stops. The root cause was never touched.
A three session program works on exactly that root cause, changing the relationship with food and updating the automatic patterns driving it, without deprivation, calorie counting or white-knuckling through cravings.
3 Session Program: £395
For those where weight is significantly impacting health and wellbeing, the Virtual Gastric Band program uses hypnosis to replicate the mental and physiological cues of gastric band surgery, without the cost, the waiting list or the surgical risk. Combined with work on the emotional relationship with food, it creates the conditions for natural, sustainable weight loss. Includes a personalised MP3 recording to support you between sessions.
4 Session Virtual Gastric Band Program: £495, includes personalised recording and WhatsApp support between sessions.
Habit Change & Stop Smoking
Every habit started somewhere. Maybe it was smoking to fit in, drinking to quiet the noise or find some courage, nail biting because the discomfort gave momentary relief from something worse. At the time, on some level, it worked. So the subconscious filed it as useful and started running it automatically.
The problem is that over time the original reason gets buried under layers of repetition and societal myth. The subconscious starts constructing its own justifications, telling you that smoking helps you relax, that a drink takes the edge off stress, that the habit is helping you cope. None of that is chemically true. Tobacco contains nothing that reduces stress, alcohol is a depressant, and the relief from nail biting is just distraction through discomfort. But the subconscious doesn't care about the chemistry. It cares about the pattern it has decided is keeping you safe, and it will find every reason to protect it.
That's why resolve alone doesn't work. You're trying to consciously override a process the subconscious is actively defending.
Hypnotherapy goes underneath that defence. Rather than fighting the habit at the surface, it works with the subconscious directly, understanding what the pattern has been doing for you and updating it with something that actually serves you. The habit loses its grip not because you're forcing it but because the subconscious no longer sees a reason to run it.
Stop smoking hypnotherapy can remove the habit itself relatively quickly, but smoking rarely exists in isolation. It's usually managing something else, stress, anxiety, social pressure, or a need for moments of pause in a relentless day. Removing the habit without addressing what it was doing for you often means the need finds another outlet. The most lasting results come from working on both, which is why habit change is usually incorporated into a broader program rather than treated as a standalone fix.
Not sure which applies to you?
Most people find that what they first reach out about isn't the only thing they're dealing with. Anxiety and low confidence often go together. Chronic stress and habits are frequently connected. Overwhelm sits underneath a lot of different presentations.
The clarity call is exactly that, a straightforward conversation about what's actually going on, with no obligation and no pressure to have it all figured out before you get in touch.
