EXCELLENT Based on 47 reviews Posted on Google Louise Manley02/08/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Karyn to get help with my anxiety relating to being a car passenger on the narrow roads in the south of England. I was due to go on holiday in Somerset, and I was worried I'd have the panic attacks that I'd had while in Cornwall. (I once got out of the car on a steep hill as I was panicking so much). Karen was very helpful, and when I went on my holiday, I couldn't believe how calm and unbothered I was by the narrow roads in Somerset. I was so relaxed and happy about being there! She gave me an audio recording to listen to before I went away, and it was so, so effective. I recommend her highly.Posted on Google Kayleigh Hill12/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Karyn for my flight anxiety. We also discussed my health anxiety too, which has really helped me with both. I was able to fly alot calmer and more at ease. I would highly recommend Karyn.Posted on Google Shelagh Scott29/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a brilliant experience of seeing Karyn online using FaceTime after a couple of emails where i explained the issues i was having trouble with. I was reassured by her confidence that she would be able to help me resolve these quickly and easily and indeed this was the case. I found Karyn professional, empathic and understanding as well as very knowledgable and able to grasp a situation very quickly. She provided tailored hypnosis sessions for me to listen to daily at home and as she promised, the issues which had been entrenched, were resolved. My family are also pleased and very surprised at the change and I would urge anyone who is wondering if this is for them, based on my experiences i would give it a go :- I am so grateful to Karyn.Posted on Google Paul Rowden22/09/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been having terrible nightmares about my Mam and Dad after caring for them for the past 15 years. Seems it was PTSA, so Karen helped me to remove the bad memories of my Mam and Dad's afflictions (i.e. Alzheimer's and Prostate cancer respectively). I only needed three hypnotherapy sessions for Karen to remove these awful nightmares of my Mam and Dad suffering. I would strongly recommend using Karyn to rid yourself of any bad dreams, or fears which may be affecting you. Karyn is an amazing listener. Thank you sooo much Karyn.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 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 you

What I Can Help You With
Feel Good From the Inside-Out
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?
