Professional Coaching Client – overwhelm and gaining clarity
I have definitely seen a big move forward in terms of where I was and where I am now after only four sessions. I had been feeling overwhelmed and the coaching experience has given me the space to put some order and structure back into my life. I have felt able to put some goals in place and to work towards those and to be comfortable with the goals and the time frames I have set myself. There has been a lot of acceptance involved, which has been a good thing and Claire has given me that space to explore some of these elements in a supported and nurtured environment.
Personal Coaching Client – overwhelm and stress management
Claire listened and interpreted really well helping me to gain clarity of thought and make clear choices in areas that had caused me real difficulty. She has a great manner, her patience, humour and emotional intelligence are real assets. Coaching changed my perceptions and provided better self-awareness, all of which in turn reduced stress. I found it really helpful and would highly recommend Claire.
Hypnotherapy client – Confidence
I came to see Claire at a time when I was feeling really stuck and lacking in confidence. I wanted to regain the confidence I had years ago, so that I could move forward in my working life. I was bored and stuck and couldn’t see a way out until a friend recommended Claire Howie Coaching.
Claire is a great coach and hypnotherapist. She helped me gain a better understanding of myself, my wants and needs and I learned that it’s okay to prioritise my own needs sometimes! The hypnotherapy was amazing and had transformative results. I’m truly back – feeling confident, motivated and energised by the process. Totally recommend!!

Claire is amazing. I had some hypnotherapy with her and was quite nervous about going as I hadn’t experienced hypnotherapy before. Claire made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. I am already seeing the positive changes she has made to my daily life. It was also an individually tailored experience. I can’t thank Claire enough and I would 100% go back in the future if I required more sessions.

I contacted Claire as I was in a desperate place. I was struggling dealing with grief/life following my dad passing away and it was coming up to the anniversary of his death. I felt suffocated by my emotions which I knew was not healthy at all for me.
Claire is really easy to chat to and put me at ease straight away. She listened and I felt she understood how I was feeling (we went through A LOT of tissues!). She made me realise it's okay to not be okay and that you can keep feelings close by but make them less intense. After only a handful of sessions with Claire she managed to, through her therapy and chatting, make me feel I could breathe again and be back in control. I also felt I could think again as my head was clearer.
I'm now about 6 weeks post seeing Claire and I feel a lot more positive.
Thank you Claire for helping me breath again
Steph, Leeds
Before I got in touch with Claire I was having some anxieties that were starting to really impact me professionally. Through our hypnotherapy sessions I have been able to take control over these intrusive thoughts and get back on track. I am able to see much clearer and tackle problems with a more level head than I have done in recent years.
She was brilliant, patient and able to work around my schedule. Such an easy person to talk to and she really listens. Thank you Claire for all your help. I definitely recommend her with five stars.
Julia, Leeds
Before I begain hypnotherapy sessions with Claire my anxiety was at an all time high, I was suffering from panic attacks and my heart was racing constantly. I constantly felt overwhelmed at the smallest tasks. Fast forward 5 weeks and Claire has given me the tools I need to keep the anxiety under control. I feel like a new person.
No kore panic attacks, no more overwhelm. Hypnotherapy really worked for me. I have began to enjoy life again. Claire is magic! I can’t thank her enough for helping me. Everyone needs a Claire in their lives. Thank you Claire!
Abi, Leeds
Claire was extremely helpful, and is a wonderful person. Before I was scared of being in public places especially in big crowds, I could never order at a restaurant or café without panicking, and most importantly I felt like I couldn’t go out and enjoy myself with friends. Thanks to Claire that has all changed. I feel like a completely different person and Claire has taught me how to manage my anxiety and to not let it get to me. I would still be the same shy person sitting in my house all day if it wasn’t for her.
Hypnotherapy client - Anxiety
I have suffered from anxiety for many years which affects my ability to do normal everyday things without feeling anxious I saw Claire on Facebook and decided to try to resolve my issues I had 5 sessions and the result is I am able to look more positively at many things and the debilitating affect of my anxiety is much improved Claire also gave me some tips and techniques to use in circumstances where my anxiety comes on.
Hypnotherapy client - Anxiety
This year there have been some particularly traumatic events with regard to the mental health of one of my daughters. My wellbeing was affected and i found that my anxiety levels were very much linked to her behaviour. I needed help to manage my emotions as I found myself constantly imagining worst case scenario. I was unable to sleep properly and at times struggled with daily routines. Claire was very easy to talk to. She responded to my fears in a calm and supportive manner. Claire offered hypnotherapy and a number of practical visualisation strategies to help me manage my thought processes. She also recommended a sleep therapist to listen to. Whilst working with Claire i was much calmer in the way i reacted to my daughter and more effectively able to control my responses and the impact that she had on me.
Workplace coaching – Gail
I was given the opportunity to take up external coaching supervision as one of the benefits of my job and it felt like a really valuable opportunity having just started a new role and with society just having gone into lockdown. Claire was recommended to me by colleagues. Claire has been a really warm, helpful, reliable and stable presence in my life over the past year. She has helped me with my work - life balance, specific issues with clients as well as letting me vent and talk through current issues in and outside of work. She's approachable, warm and balances humour and the seriousness of the issues we discussed with great care. She has been invaluable in helping me to navigate the past year or so and was really supportive in making me take stock of certain things that were causing me stress and helping me change my approach to them. I would highly recommend her.
Workplace Coaching Client
I sought support to increase my confidence and resilience. Claire was very useful in giving me tools to give me the confidence to get through conflicting situations and to respond appropriately and be ready for whatever is next. I now feel much more confident and can respond correctly in difficult situations.
Thanks for your continued support and for just saying you believe in me because I haven't heard that in a long time and it was something I needed to hear from what I have achieved. Having someone there to see how much progress I have made is very rewarding.
