About Me

Welcome to Oaks Hypnotherapy. My name is Carys Clargo and I’m a registered hypnotherapy practitioner based in Oakdale, near Blackwood in the Caerphilly borough. I work with clients who are looking to make quick and permanent positive changes to their lives. I specialise in anxiety and stress related issues, depression, panic attacks and phobias, as well as treating more habitual behaviours like stopping smoking, issues with alcohol or achieving and maintaining a healthy weight loss. For more detailed information on specific issues I treat, please select the Available Treatments menu at the top of the page.

If you are considering hypnotherapy, it’s really important to ensure your practitioner has undergone accredited training.  I completed my practitioner training at the College of Clinical and Medical Hypnosis in South Wales, under the expert, private tuition of Dr Lyn Bateman, accredited by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).

I also hold a First-class Honours degree in Psychology and have studied a varied range of perspectives and traditions in the discipline, including individual differences.  With this in mind, all of my hypnotherapy sessions are designed specifically for the individual needs and expectations of each of my clients. Therefore, I never adopt a generic ‘one size fits all’ approach. Each of my sessions is bespoke, tailor-made for every client, and designed for quick, effective and lasting change.

I always take an ethical approach to my business, with the individual needs and expectations of my clients at the forefront, and I adhere strictly to the ethical guidelines of the GHSC.  It’s my pleasure to offer all clients a free initial, no obligation consultation. This enables us to discuss the issue you need help with and also allows me to answer any questions you may have about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I don’t sell packages of hypnotherapy sessions, preferring to work on a session by session basis. That way, you’ll never be tied into attending sessions that you don’t need. I also provide full and confidential support between sessions.

Although results of hypnotherapy vary from person to person, I know first-hand how empowering, positive and extremely effective it can be. Some years ago I developed a sudden fear of driving over bridges. This came completely out of the blue and even the sight of a bridge in the distance could bring about an extremely frightening panic attack. I did some research and found out that this is a condition called gephyrophobia. However, I did nothing about it, and would go out of my way to avoid bridges, it put many miles on my clock! Thanks to my training in hypnosis, I no longer have this phobia, it’s completely gone. I don’t feel any fear now when approaching a bridge, and I’m able to drive over them without consciously thinking about it, and the panic attacks are thankfully a thing of the past. Due to hypnosis, I was able to create a positive change to my subconscious mind very quickly and I’m confident that the change is permanent. Quite simply, it’s changed my life, and it can change yours too.

If you would like to know more, then I’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch either by telephone or by completing the contact form. I really look forward to hearing from you and to working with you.
