Healing from Trauma Isn’t About ‘Getting Over It’ – It’s About Feeling Safe Again 

Trauma changes us, but not always in ways we can see. For some, the effects of trauma live in the body, a racing heart, sudden panic, or hypervigilance that never seems to switch off. Others experience numbness, emotional detachment, or a persistent sense of being “on edge”. These are not signs of weakness, they are signs that the nervous system is doing its best to protect you, even long after the danger has passed. 
 
At SanaMente, Clare offers trauma-informed hypnotherapy for people living with the ongoing effects of trauma and PTSD. Her work centres around creating a calm, grounded space where healing can begin, through a process of safety, trust, and gentle exploration. 
 
Every person’s experience of trauma is different, and so is the path forward. Clare works closely with each individual to understand how trauma is showing up in the present, whether through sleep disruption, emotional overwhelm, or persistent anxiety, and then uses therapeutic hypnotherapy techniques to gradually shift the body and mind out of survival mode. 
 
Many clients speak of a subtle but meaningful transformation, greater clarity, improved sleep, more ease in daily life, and the return of emotional connection after a long period of feeling numb or shut down. 
 
This work is not about forgetting the past, it’s about reducing its grip on the present. 
 
If trauma or PTSD is part of your story, support is available. Clare offers a compassionate and flexible approach that meets each person where they are with no pressure, no assumptions, and no rush. 
 
If you’re exploring support for trauma, Clare offers a calm, confidential space to begin. Feel free to get in touch for an informal conversation or to ask any questions.
