Rita Clare is a certified Psychotherapeutic Coach who specialises in helping individuals navigate traumatic experiences, including divorces and breakups. She empowers her clients to unhook from the past, navigate a new pathway, regain confidence, and thrive after significant life changes. Rita’s fascination with the power of the mind began when she experienced hypnotherapy while preparing for childbirth. The results were profound—she welcomed her daughter into the world just four hours after arriving at the hospital, completely fear-free and feeling in control. Inspired by this transformation, she trained as a Hypnotherapist, Hypnotic Coach, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner. Determined to deepen her expertise, Rita then became a Human Givens Psychotherapist, focusing on a framework of unmet emotional needs, and is also a certified Mindvalley Life Coach. With over 14 years of experience, she has developed a solution-focused approach that accelerates healing, helping clients break free from the past and move forward with clarity.
