Hi, I’m Clare Cogan.
You’ve probably found your way here because you, or someone you care about is struggling with anxiety. Firstly, I want you to know that you’re in the right place. I know that when you, or your teenager are overwhelmed with these feelings, thoughts and fears, believing that you can overcome them or break free from them seems impossible, but I want you to know that there is a way.
I could tell you all about the training I have been through or the qualifications I have, but what you really want to know is if it is possible to live in a world without anxiety taking over, and it is.
I help adults and teenagers learn:
I can work with just your teenager or both of you together, whichever you agree works best.
My sessions with you are an hour long and are designed to introduce long-lasting tools and techniques to address the issues which you or your teen may be facing, so they can be applied in everyday life.
Many parents blame themselves for things they have or haven’t done when parenting teens, especially during challenging times. We spend so much time searching for the reasons why our teens may be feeling or acting the way they do.
I offer 1:1 support for parents: listening, guiding and reassuring in a safe, confidential space. I support you to support your teen.
If you’re looking for help with something that isn’t anxiety, but you’re wondering if hypnotherapy can help you, then I may be able to help and offer guidance on ways to deal with these concerns through this therapy.
My aim is to make my tools and techniques as accessible as possible to as many people as I can. I have developed some short, manageable online programs to introduce you to an understanding of the brain, both teenager and adult and how it can impact on our mood and behaviour

The teenage years can present all kinds of challenges for young people, their parents and the entire family. As a mum to two teenage boys, I know we all could do with a gentle go-to guide to help us navigate the ups and downs of these tricky times.
That’s why I wrote this book. Based on my professional experience, my expertise in the field of teenage mental health, and reflections on my teenage years, I have created a digestible blend of practical, helpful and informative advice.
