• I avoid relationships because of white coat syndrome...

  In this session at the Hope Clinic, Sarah discusses her intense fear of needles, blood, and medical scenarios, commonly referred to as 'white coat syndrome.' Her anxiety has escalated over the years, affecting her daily life and decisions, including avoiding hospitals and ruling out having children. Nik and Eva discover that Sarah's fear originated from witnessing her father faint during her childhood vaccinations, and they explain that phobias often start from misunderstood events in childhood and can be exacerbated by observing parental behaviour.Would you like your chance to be heard, understood, and supported?

• From Patrick Swayze to Steve McDonald: Claire Sweeney’s Unstoppable Journey

  TV legend Claire Sweeney bursts into the Hope Clinic, not for healing but to ignite inspiration. In a powerfully uplifting episode, Claire proves that age is no barrier to ambition as she opens up to Nik and Eva about her extraordinary path. From from sharing the stage (and kisses) with Patrick Swayze, to stealing scenes with Steve McDonald, and even jumping from her father’s meat van as a child to sing for retirees. With raw honesty and unstoppable energy, she shares how Big Brother launched her biggest break, and how menopause madness once led her to wrongly accuse a pensioner of phone theft - only to confront the real culprit and take back what was hers. It’s bold, it’s brilliant, it’s Claire at her finest.Would you like your chance to be heard, understood, and supported?
