Client Testimonials
Real stories from real people. See how hypnotherapy has helped my clients overcome anxiety, phobias, and unwanted habits.
“I can’t thank Karen enough for the support she has provided in one of the most stressful times of my life. I was super skeptical that hypnotherapy would work for what has been a lifelong phobia of needles but have been totally amazed by the results. Karen has worked a miracle with me! My needle phobia stems from childhood and it has been the one thing I have always had an extreme fear of. The thought of an injection or blood test was utterly terrifying. I would work myself up for days before blood tests/injections and would feel physically sick before. I even ran through an emergency exit on one occasion as I couldn’t bring myself to go through with an injection which was pretty embarrassing! I have lost track of the times I have fainted during blood tests and injections and I got to the stage where I couldn’t even look at an injection or even be part of a conversation about injections or blood tests without feeling like I was going to faint. I knew I needed to do something when faced with fertility treatment and I was determined that my life long phobia would not stop me. I didn’t leave much time and I started fertility treatment within 2 weeks of my first session. Karen was absolutely incredible and immediately put me at ease. Even after the first hypnotherapy session I noticed positive changes. The sessions were so relaxing and I listened to the recordings just before bed as “top ups.” I went from feeling absolutely terrified to being able to self inject and feeling calm and confident in the process in just a few sessions. I also had an EFT session which was perfect preparation for the procedure. Hypnotherapy with Karen has been life changing and I wish I had done this years ago as I would have saved so much worry and embarrassment over the years. I can’t thank Karen enough for all of her wonderful support.”

“Karen has changed my life, it’s as simple as that!

“I’ve had several hypnosis sessions with Karen so far, to help around my eating/snacking habits and wanting to lose weight. After 6 months I’d lost over a stone, and managed to then navigate Christmas and maintain the weight, so no gain over the festive period.”
