Claire Ashby

Claire Ashby is a UK-credentialed counsellor, hypnotherapist, trained social worker and meditation instructor with six years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, trauma, loss and related difficulties. She works with clients experiencing low mood, panic attacks, insomnia, phobias and challenges associated with neurodivergence, offering tailored counselling and hypnotherapy to help disrupt unhelpful cycles and restore a greater sense of wellbeing.

Her practice combines a primarily person-centred approach with techniques from hypnotherapy and relaxation work, drawing on her social work background with children and adults who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse and mental health challenges. This blend allows her to adapt therapeutic work to each person’s needs while focusing on practical ways to manage symptoms and build resilience.

Claire emphasises the value of reconnecting with inner resources and developing skills that support improved sleep, reduced anxiety and increased confidence. She offers meditation and relaxation tools alongside counselling and hypnotherapy to provide practical strategies for stress reduction and better overall wellbeing.

Clients can expect a warm, supportive and professional space in which to explore thoughts and feelings, identify strengths and work toward achievable goals. Claire aims to guide people toward increased control over anxious or low moods so they can engage more fully in life and move toward the future they want.
