rob-clarke
Welcome to my hypnotherapy website, my name is Rob Clarke and I am a full time professional hypnotherapist with more than 20 years experience. As well as working face to face with clients I am also able to work remotely with clients from their own home via Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Zoom.
I specialise in helping people deal with issues such as relationship problems, feeling depressed, anxiety, panic attacks, social fears, and phobias.
Within the website you will find help and information about many issues which people suffer with such as stress, IBS, OCD and how to deal with other problems such as a lack of confidence and self esteem.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is just a feeling of being calm and relaxed with a heightened awareness. We use this very relaxed state of mind to connect with the subconscious mind to give beneficial and positive suggestions helping people to lose weight and to stop smoking.
Hypnotherapy is now recognised as a complementary therapy that offers relief from emotional and psychological issues such as fears, phobias anxiety and panic attacks. There are two types of therapy that I use, which are suggestion therapy also called clinical hypnotherapy and Analytical therapy (often known as Hypno-Analysis). More information can be found here: Hypnosis explained.
Is Hypnotherapy for you?
We all get locked into negative beliefs, habits and patterns of behaviour which we later realise are reducing the quality of our lives, but somehow we feel trapped and it is out of our ability to change. At Wessex Hypnotherapy based close to Poole and Bournemouth in Dorset I think of the subconscious area of the mind, which is separate from the conscious mind, as having the ability of making decisions and producing its own behaviour and this is where unwanted behaviours and negative patterns are stored and maintained.
Problems can then begin to happen because our subconscious mind seeks to protect us by keeping us away from situations that have brought about an unpleasant experience in the past. When a similar situation occurs, we can become very emotional, resulting in behaviours we often can’t control or explain. Once this starts to change then we can start to realise that we can have more control over how we react, think and feel.
The successful changing limiting beliefs course
This is positive thinking styles training course allowing you to understand yourself better so that you can change those old unwanted thoughts, habits, unwanted emotions and negative feelings, into becoming much more positive, focused in control and empowered.

Professional & confidential
I work under the strict guidelines of The International Association of Evidence Based Psychotherapy (IAEPB) This organisation insists on an exceptionally high standard of ethical practice and requires all their members to have a current DBS check (Also known in the past as a CRB check). I am also a member of the general hypnotherapy register (GHR).
My approach is friendly, relaxed and totally non-judgmental and I work with each client as an individual putting them at complete ease. As such I also enjoy a very high success rate.
Testimonials
I now feel more focused on what I want and how to achieve it. This therapy helped me to make a career change that I had been contemplating for sometime. I feel a lot happier and a lot more relaxed with the way my life is now. It’s like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I went to see Rob because I had a fear of flying and to be honest I was not sure that hypnotherapy could solve my problem. The panic and fear I felt every time I thought about holidays abroad or flying made me physically sick. I would not enjoy the thought of going away or get excited as I was always worried about the flight. Even when relaxing on holiday the journey home was looming and I would start to get very tense and worried about getting home.
It is wonderful how I feel now, I am actuall… Read more
I just wanted to say that before I started my sessions for IBS I use to take Imodium with me where ever I went. Even on my first session with Rob I was using it trying to give me piece of mind. I also suffered anxiety around this and it started to take over my life worrying were the next toilet was. Hypnosis has had calming positive effect on me. I know longer freak out at the thought of long journeys. The other day I went on a 3 hour walk with not one toilet in sight. My confidence is better an… Read more
Having done the weight loss sessions with Rob 10 weeks ago I can not believe how easy it has been to lose weight. Working as a newsagent I am surrounded by sweets and crisps and can honestly say I have not even been tempted by my favourite treat chocolate! I have now lost nearly 2 stone in weight and feel healthier fitter and much more confident. Link to weight loss
Hi Rob – I just wanted to e-mail you to say happy Christmas and thank you for the hypnotherapy sessions you took me through last year. I can honestly say they changed my life. As you know, I’d had lots of counselling over the years but nothing really changed the way I felt about my situation. Since the sessions with you I’ve felt so much more ‘myself’ and confident in myself and it has enabled me to deal with some quite tough situations over the last year.
I was feeling very unhappy with my weight and felt my eating habits were totally out of control. As I had previously worked as a weight loss consultant for a well know Company I beat myself up even more as I felt I should know better, I know how to eat healthily and lose weight yet something was stopping me and I didn’t know what. I just couldn’t seem to get motivated to do something positive always ending up back where I started and then choosing unhealthy food to make me feel better. I watched… Read more
….I am so glad I found the courage to phone you and make an appointment – I am not exaggerating when I say that you have changed my life. I feel there is so much I can achieve and you have helped me to let go of the past so that I can move on and stop wasting time with all those ‘what ifs’.
Hypnoanalysis has without doubt changed my life. I never thought it possible to feel so at peace with such a troubled past. For as long as I can remember I struggled with my anxiety and in my teens developed a full-blown social phobia. Despite 35 years going in and out of therapy talking to numerous therapists about how bad I felt, my symptoms kept getting steadily worse and I started to suffer from other nervous problems such as IBS and emetophobia.
Then I tried hypnoanalysis and realised I ha… Read more
“I suspect you get little feedback on your sessions so I just wanted to let you know that since I came to see you in November 2003 I haven’t even thought about cigarettes, let alone been tempted. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and really cannot understand why everybody doesn’t try this method”
‘I have a long standing gambling addiction which I am in desperate need of removing from my life. It interferes with my comfort and integrity to the extent that I am now finding it unbearable.’
This was the email I sent to Rob in January this year when the gambling was at its worst. I started a course of analytical hypnotherapy a few weeks after and it has changed my life. I am no longer lured by the flashing lights of the fruit machines or feel the need to go into the bookies. I also have a ne… Read more
