EXCELLENT Based on 45 reviews Posted on Google Luca12/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Life-Changing Experience – Anxiety and overthinking finally under control I can’t recommend Karyn highly enough. After struggling with anxiety and constant overthinking for years, I had tried everything from therapy to medication and supplements but nothing truly stuck. That all changed after a just a session with Karyn. From the very beginning, she made me feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. The environment was calming, professional, and warm, perfect for letting go and allowing the process to work. Through hypnotherapy, Karyn helped me uncover the root causes of my anxiety and gently reframe my mindset. What amazed me most was how natural and empowering the process felt. I noticed a real shift after just one session, and by the end, the constant spiral of anxious thoughts felt completely under control. I feel more grounded, clear-headed, and confident than I have in years. It’s like I’ve finally been given my mind back. Calm, focused, and present. This experience has truly been transformative. If you’re considering hypnotherapy, don’t hesitate. Karyn is a gifted professional and a compassionate healer. I only wish I had found her sooner.Posted on Google Amy Fox06/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having tried various forms of therapy in the past for anxiety and low self esteem, with limited or only short term success, I was losing hope of finding a cure. Truthfully, I was a little bit skeptical when hypnotherapy was first suggested to me and had some reservations, however I arranged a preliminary meeting with Karyn, who took the time to talk me through how it worked and reassure that she was confident these issues were something she could help me resolve. Karyn instantly put me at ease, and throughout my time working with her, she actively listened and addressed my concerns and was completely non-judgemental about anything that we discussed. She was incredibly supportive throughout. I can’t recommend Karyn (and hypnotherapy) highly enough. I started to feel a difference even after the first session, and after completing my fifth and final session a several weeks ago, the results so far have been genuinely live changing. I wish I had tried it sooner!Posted on Google Kate Thompson05/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Karyn about a long-standing rash that would appear whenever I did public speaking, and I’m so pleased that I did. Karyn was incredibly professional—warm, non-judgmental, and easy to talk to. She was proactive and really made the whole process comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Her service is absolutely excellent.Posted on Google Rob Richardson03/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Helped me with my sleep - with a good outcome. The audio recordings as part of our three sessions were practical and helpful to maintain the benefits.Posted on Google Karen Irving05/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been struggling with my alcohol intake for a while now, Most evening’s drinking above the recommended guidelines with wine o clock beginning earlier and earlier. I’ve tried to cut down on many occasion but my will power just wasn’t strong enough. So… I decided to google hypnotherapy and after much research I came across Karyn who I found to be a lovely down to earth person who put me at ease upon meeting. I had one session with Karyn with a view to cutting down on my intake and not to have any alcohol drink before 7 pm. It’s now been two weeks in and to say how astonished I’ve been with the results is an understatement. I’m now down to 2 to 3 units , 2 to 3 times a week and nothing before 7pm which is what Karyn and I were aiming for. I feel happier and healthier with bags more energy. And more than proud to now class myself as a moderate drinker. Karyn I cannot thank you enough. Keep on doing what you do best XPosted on Google Samantha Quinn12/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have struggled for many years with my weight loss. I did go to see another hypnosis many years ago but unfortunately it did not work. I thought i would give it another go as a last resort. I'm so glad I did ! I hust wish i had gone to see Karyn sooner. Karyn is amazing, listens well and makes you feel at ease, which is great for me as I suffer with bad anxiety. You have to want to do it and it works. I would definitely recommend Karyn any day. Thank you very much Karyn :)Posted on Google Katrina Rockett22/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After suffering years of low self esteem and lack of confidence my boss mentioned hypnotherapy so I went to see Karyn, what can I say she was amazing and has helped me so much. I would highly recommend her and would certainly go back to see her. Thank youPosted on Google Teri Hebdon20/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After suffering with low self esteem, lack of confidence and anxiety due to certain personal matters I could not see a way of feeling better on my own without professional help. I'd tried the usual methods that the Dr's often provide you i.e talking changes but nothing worked. I came across Karen's business page whilst on Google and I'll admit was abit apprehensive on hypnotherapy being the right solution, but I was willing to try anything at this point. Karyn was warm and welcoming and I instantly felt at ease, and she was really invested in getting my life back on track. She was an insight of knowledge on many situations that I discussed with her, and I found myself feeling that little bit better after each session and continue to do so with the personal hypnosis recordings she made for me. I would highly recommend Karyn to anyone who has gone through any trauma in their life.Posted on Google Chloe Docherty30/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Why Hypnotherapy?
Because it really works When everything else has failed. Bold but true. Because more often than not Clients who reach out to me have exhausted all other options.

I deliver advanced hypnotherapy using modern techniques that aim to help you uncover the source of the problem you wish to solve. So whether this is an unwanted habit, stubborn emotional difficulty or relationship issue the hypnotherapy that I offer aims to help you reach a quick, totally effective and lasting solution.
Feel Good From the Inside-Out
Many people who come to use my service do so quite sceptically or as a last resort after trying many other things. They often come desperately wanting to quit addictive habits like smoking or over eating. Habits that they know are damaging to their health and happiness.
They come struggling against debilitating fears and phobias that they know are stopping them from being and doing everything that they want in their lives. They come wanting to feel better; sleep better; to get the job promotion; feel good in their relationships and speak freely infront of anyone. And very often, after our time together they tell me quite frankly how amazed-even puzzled-they are at the speed and accuracy of the results that have been achieved. Almost as if there has been some kind of illusion taking place. And as much as I often share their joy and amazement I can re-assure my clients that their achievements are very real. I can also assure my clients that there is one central, guiding principle from which all of the work I do as a change facilitator flows.

“And what is this guiding principle?“
It is that each and every individual I work with already has all of the answers they need to solve all of the problems they wish to solve in their lives. It is as simple and powerful as that. And as a change facilitator I am simply helping individuals to reconnect with their own inner resourcefulness. Because when you relearn how to feel good from the inside-out anything becomes possible, doesn’t it?
