About me

 Welcome to Calming Breeze Therapies. I’m Deborah Clay, a fully qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Hypnoanalyst, and Advanced Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner. I offer a confidential, non judgemental and supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore and overcome personal challenges. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to meet your unique needs, helping you achieve lasting positive change.

I specialise in helping adults overcome a range of emotional, psychological, and behavioural issues, working with clients in-person at my therapy space in Newington, Kent and online.

I facilitate a grief support group twice a month, in the Blacksmiths Barn, Bredhurst, Blacksmiths Court, Kent ME7 3JU. Just up from the Bredhurst Bell pub. A place for people to connect, talk and share with others in the community, if you are struggling with grief.

Areas I Can Help With
I work with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:

Anxiety, Panic Attacks & Stress
Depression & Low Mood
PTSD & Trauma Recovery
Grief & Bereavement Support (including sudden loss & bereavement by suicide)
Weight Management & Hypno-Gastric Band Therapy
Stopping Smoking / Vaping 
Fears & Phobias (such as fear of flying, public speaking, or spiders)
Confidence & Self-Esteem Building
Inner Child Healing & Emotional Wounds
Managing ADHD & Autism Challenges
LGBTQ+ Support & Identity Exploration
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs & Negative Thought Patterns


With a background in emergency response, as a former Kent Police emergency Call Handler and Dispatcher, I understand the impact of mental health, stress and trauma firsthand. This experience enhances my ability to support individuals facing high-pressure situations, trauma-related concerns, and emotional distress.
