At Inspired to Change I work with people who are experiencing an emotional or physical issue which is holding them back or who are struggling to cope with life’s challenges and adapting to change. Often they have tried other approaches to move forward but ultimately they still feel unhappy or stuck. People just like you.
Regardless of what brings people to see us they all have one thing in common:
- They are motivated to get better, cope better or be better
- They are ready to get their lives on track
- They are inspired to change
And that is what I am passionate about and skilled at helping people to do!
In addition to the many different issues that the solution focused approach is effective at helping, my personal passion is helping people with chronic pain, phobias, parenting highly sensitive children, neurodiversity, trauma and PTSD.
I was intrigued and arranged a free consultation with Ciara, and a plan was made for us to start to work together.
After nearly 3-months of regular consultations, my work and personal life has had a dramatic change for the better.
Within a few sessions I started to have more energy, felt positive ,was able to put boundaries in place at work and my stress levels subsided. At around my sixth session I rediscovered pleasant feelings that I hadn’t experienced since my early teens. This was my body being re-acquainted with serotonin after many years of mental neglect.
It's difficult to depict what a life changing affect my sessions with Ciara have had on my being. It’s been incredible, learning about the intellectual mind and primitive brain.
My mind now is starting to automatically kick in at trigger points upon certain events, looking at solutions rather than dwelling on the problems. My brain now addresses how I want to feel about a situation, making this happen rather than procrastinating in a negative state.
One cannot fully put in words how much Ciara has helped me, when in truth, I didn’t know I needed help! Hypnotherapy can assist with so many of life’s mental glitch’s and I implore anyone who has a beating heart to have a free consultation with Ciara, it will change your life .

With Ciara you feel immediately calm, settled and confident that I’m going to be ok. I learnt so much about how our brains work, why we develop fears and phobias, and also the importance of a positive mindset, and just how much impact that and of course sleep has on our lives.
During the course of the treatment it became apparent I was dealing with some other major stresses, so the phobia was put to one side and instead the focus shifted to bringing my stress levels down to a manageable level and get back into the right mindset in order to even address the phobia - I feel it’s important to share this to show just how adaptable and perceptive Ciara is.
When the worst actually happened (universe testing me!) and I unexpectedly had to face my phobia, I was able to make a change and it was much much less scary.. thank you so much Ciara, I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone and everyone!
Fantastic hypnotherapist and genuinely a lovely person who really wants to help.
With a genuine love of neuroscience, positive psychology and all things brain related, working as a solution focused hypnotherapist allows me to help you understand and overcome PTSD, trauma and the anxiety that impacts our lives.
Having worked alongside special force personnel suffering from PTSD to young children and teens with anxiety, I am well placed to help.
Seeing your “ah-ha” moments as it all begins to make sense and you begin to find your footing, gaining confidence and once again enjoying experiences and life, is a journey I get to witness every day.
My interest in working with children and teens, often includes neurodiversity challenges. As parents of these children and young adults, I understand the stress and anxiety that goes hand in hand with seeing your child suffer and I can help both you and your child regain control of your lives.
Showing people how an overwhelming and out of control life can become a positive and exciting future is my passion.
