A bit about Clare Sharpen

After fainting and falling down a set of steps in June 2023, Clare struggled for months to make sense of her symptoms, to get help and to be able to live normal daily life again. After a 2+ year recovery journey, which could have been much shorter had she know then what she knows now, Clare provides practical guidance and coaching support to others with Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS).

Clare is a UKIHCA Registered Health Coach with a Level 5 Diploma in Health Coaching and a member of Brain Injury Group.

Common Concussion Misconceptions

  • "IT'S TOO LATE"

    Some people think that recovery is only possible in the first few years.

    This isn’t the case. With a whole-person approach that supports rebuilding neural connections, significant progress can still be made, even years later. The brain has an extraordinary ability to restore function and it’s never too late to support that process.

  • "I JUST NEED TO REST MORE"

    It’s a common misconception that concussion symptoms will heal with rest alone.

    True recovery requires a personalised, whole-health approach that addresses the brain, body and nervous system together. A passive “wait and see” approach can hinder progress and can impact ongoing brain health.

  • "THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO"

    The opposite is true, and you’re the best person to identify what is most effective for you.

    With the right information, practical tools and support, you can have a clear strategy and practical plan to follow. You are able to have agency in this process and be in the driving seat of your own recovery.
