About Clear Spring Therapy

Hello, I am Caroline, a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and Pain Reprocessing Therapist. I have a BSc Hons in Social Science and Nursing and a Diploma from the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy (which is approved by the British Psychological Society and accredited by the NCFE). My career spans over 30 years in healthcare, including CEO roles in palliative care and Hospice services. I began as a nurse but I also bring personal experience of living with chronic pain. Having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 18 years ago I fully understand how relentless pain and fatigue results in emotional strain which diminishes confidence, drains resilience, and creates a powerful fear–pain cycle that keeps the nervous system on high alert. The good news is that I have experienced life changing benefits from these therapies to the extent that pain is now a minor (and eminently manageable) feature and the fatigue, low energy and brain fog are also diminishing. The journey for me continues, but hope and confidence have been restored and I am now passionate about helping others find similar relief and support.

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy with Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Gut – directed Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness to support overcoming pain, distressing gut related symptoms, managing fear and anxiety, and gently rewiring the brain through safe, evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on cultivating calm, re-balancing the nervous system, restoring hope, building confidence, and helping you regain a sense of control in both mind and body.

Clear Spring Therapy offers a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy utilising the latest scientific research that can, in many cases, overcome pain and other chronic symptoms completely.

Stepping Stones Towards Pain Relief and Recovery

Living with persistent pain and chronic symptoms like IBS or fatigue is exhausting, confusing, and isolating — especially when you’ve been told “nothing more can be done”.  This programme offers a different way forward.
Stepping Stones towards Pain Relief and Recovery is a structured, supportive 8-session programme designed to help you understand pain differently, calm your nervous system, and gently retrain your brain and body towards safety, confidence, and recovery.
Rather than fighting pain, we work with your nervous system — helping you move out of fear and into healing. My article Pain Reprocessing Therapy: Hope for Chronic Pain Recovery covers this in more depth.

Many other distressing conditions and persistent symptoms can be helped towards recovery using these same basic principles. Such as: Fibromyalgia, IBS, CFS, ME

A calming image of a series of stepping stones across a peaceful river is used as metaphor for clinical hypnotherapy explained. Also as a powerful symbol of hypnotherapy for anxiety and pain relief

Clear Spring Therapy Also Provides Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy in Palliative Care

With over 30 years of experience working in palliative care — including early clinical nursing and later leading hospice services — I understand firsthand the emotional complexity that accompanies serious illness. Alongside physical symptoms, many people experience fear, uncertainty, anticipatory grief, loss of identity, and concerns about loved ones. My article about chronic pain and palliative care covers this in more depth.
