 Verified Client | Well-rounded, realistic support for anxiety and confidence issues. |
| CM on July 16, 2018 at 18:50:40 | |
| I am so grateful to have been introduced to Karen. She offers such well-rounded support and advice in a down-to-earth, realistic way. She's able to get to the root of the problem and look at it from all angles. The ongoing support she gives in audio recordings helps you to get even more lasting value from sessions. I thoroughly recommend Karen if you are suffering with anxiety or confidence issues. She gives you the tools to take back control of your life. |
Verified Client | Karen makes you feel relaxed and is easy to talk to |
| Claudia on July 14, 2018 at 00:24:17 | |
| Karen is a nice lady. Very intuitive. She makes you feel at ease very quickly and is easy to talk to. I liked her very much and will see her again. |
Verified Client | Wise, sympathetic, but most of all practical! |
| Anonymous on July 12, 2018 at 11:00:07 | |
| Karen takes time - there's never an eye on the clock - and she talks as well as listens so that you leave feeling armed with practical steps to improve your situation. She feels like a coach as well as a therapist and that's exactly what I wanted. At the end of each session she created a bespoke hypnotherapy recording for me, adapted each week to what we'd decided to work on. This year, with Karen's help I have made huge changes, not least giving up drinking - and not missing it. Highly recommended |
Verified Client | Karen has given me my life back! |
| Steve From Maidstone on July 10, 2018 at 07:31:10 | |
| If I could give Karen 10 stars I would, I have been a heavy smoker for over 50 years and have tried numerous times to stop but nothing ever worked, cigarettes were my life and I could not and didn't really want to lose, but my cough was bad, and generally my health was in a bad way because of the fags, so, after reading the reviews for Karen thought I'd give her a try but was sceptical, I felt very relaxed during our session and came out feeling a little strange not even wanting a cigarette. I don't know how she managed it but it's been over 4 weeks now and I've not even been tempted, my cough has gone and finally I have money in my pocket. Food tastes different so I'm eating more but hey ho, I do sometimes think about cigarettes but only in a fleeting second. All thanks to Karen for giving me my life back. Family and friends are amazed by my sudden turnaround. |
Verified Client | If you want to quit smoking this is a defo!! |
| Roger on June 01, 2018 at 16:38:13 | |
| Karen was amazing. I have been. Smoking on and off for 17yrs and was sceptical at first about hypnotherapy. But went in and came out completely changed. It’s only early days but now 2 weeks and haven’t even thought about cigarettes!! Highly recommend. |

Verified Client | Great stuff |
| Jill on March 14, 2018 at 17:00:13 | |
| 3 weeks since attending my appointment and I haven’t Smoked or been tempted too. The audio tapes are great and I’ve used them occasionally would definitely and have already recommended to a friend. Thanks Karen |
Verified Client | Already seeing and feeling the benefits from an understanding and professional expert. |
| E B on March 14, 2018 at 12:43:13 | |
| Karen quickly grasped all the aspects that were bothering me and causing anxious thoughts and feeling. After a good discussion to pinpoint areas to think about and others to let go and not worry about. After the hypnotherapy section really took me by surprise in terms of the level of connectivity with body and mind, that I hadn't had for a long time which is allowing me to see clearer and more confidently. It feels like the positive can over power the negative which had been the other way round for many years. I will be continuing to ensure I continue on a positive curve. Thanks! |
 Verified Client | Very impressed!!!! |
| Tejen Majumdar. Registered Osteopath on March 05, 2018 at 13:09:53 | |
| Karen has successfully helped me change my life for the better. Karen is very easy to get on with and has a very comfortable consultation room. She gave me a very detailed consultation with a hypnotherapy session that she recorded for me to listen to subsequently, along with other recordings all of which have been excellent. The result; in a very short time I have achieved all my goals. As a medical practitioner myself I have already recommended her to some of my patients, who she has gone on to help. If you plan to change your life in some way I believe Karen has the right skills and techniques to help you do it. Look no further! |
Verified Client | Karen, a wonderful lady who really cares |
| Sharon Ford on February 22, 2018 at 20:10:31 | |
| When I met Karen for the first time I felt immediately comfortable and able to discuss my difficult issues within a safe, warm environment. Karen’s warmth was immediate and her empathy and knowledge invaluable. The audio sessions are a great source of comfort and help. I can’t thank Karen enough for the work we did together to help me feel better. |

Verified Client | Helpful hypnotherapy! |
| Ms. S on February 06, 2018 at 20:17:48 | |
| Karen is a fantastic listener, and is able to very quickly grasp the issue you have come to her with. She provides helpful, relevant and practical advice. I’ve found having the audio sessions available to me at home really useful. They are helping me to relax and also address particular problems in a safe and proactive way. In just a short time, I am already noticing improvements in the way I think, and in addressing and changing old unhelpful patterns of behaviour. |
Verified Client | Thank you! |
| Alice on January 11, 2018 at 19:06:21 | |

| Sophie on December 30, 2017 at 20:58:12 | |
| Karen has been a tremendous help to me, just when I was about to give up all hope of getting back in to shape. She is easy to talk to, has a no nonsense approach and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She knows what she’s doing. Thank you. |
Verified Client | Karen is fantastic |
| Rachel on December 19, 2017 at 12:08:51 | |
| Karen is fantastic. I really couldn’t recommend her enough. I have seen her for two separate issues and she has helped me massively with both. |
Verified Client | If I can be hypnotised, then so can you. |
| Fi on December 15, 2017 at 06:30:00 | |
| I have tried hypnosis before, but it didn't work. I just thought I was one of those people who can't be hypnotised, but I'm glad I tried again with Karen. I have had an amazing result and although my problems aren't likely to disappear any time soon, Karen has given me the power to deal with a difficult situation, whilst remaining calm and detatched. This is exactly what I needed and I am one grateful customer. |
Verified Client | I regained the motivation that had been lacking. |
| Amanda on December 14, 2017 at 18:48:19 | |
| I regained the motivation that had been lacking in recent months after just the first session with Karen, she has helped me get back on track with healthy eating, to stop procrastinating over tasks that need to be done and generally lifted my mood. The result being weight loss, an organised home - and a far more cheerful outlook. I have recommended her to many of my friends. |
Verified Client | Wonderful, highly recommended |
| Gail, Sussex on December 14, 2017 at 12:10:17 | |
| Karen is wonderful. calming. patient and understanding. I did not want my session to end! She makes you feel at ease and relaxed and it is amazing how quickly the effects of her work starts to help. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to anyone who wants help with facing and fixing their phobia's and anxieties. |
Verified Client | Karen is amazin! |
| Denise Goff on December 03, 2017 at 17:40:25 | |
| I went to Karen not knowing much about hypnotherapy and just hoping the reviews I read about her were legitimate and that this type of therapy would help me. Thankfully, it did!! Karen is amazing. She is so friendly and warming. Her presence is so comforting and strong, which made me feel strong and secure. I left feeling like the person I used to feel like, she gave me strength and determination. Which makes me want to continue with hypnotherapy and gives me a push to listen to the audios and not slack off. Karen began by asking me why I was there, it then progressed and got deeper. Karen explained to me what had happened but also assured me that I was going to be fine. It was great to hear that the way I was feeling was normal and that it was easy to fix. After chatting for a while, Karen then performed the hypnotherapy. I felt so comfortable even though I had no clue what was going to happen. After what felt like meditation, I came out feeling amazing. I’m so grateful for Karen and delighted I took the initiative to go. |
Verified Client | Ex smoker! |
| Jeff on November 28, 2017 at 19:28:03 | |

Verified Client | Consructive thinking |
| Christopher Berry on November 22, 2017 at 07:21:55 | |

Verified Client | Highly trusted and recommended. |
| Glenn on November 21, 2017 at 17:21:16 | |
| Karen is very focused, understanding and supportive. She operates in a calm and non-judgemental manner; her pragmatic approach is clear and incisive. Karen simply works alongside her clients to achieve their specific objectives in a warm, holistic environment. The audio files supplied were very useful and represent strong added value in support of, and following, the one to one sessions. As a result I hold her in high regard and absolutely recommend her. |
Verified Client | Fantatstic sessions and effective treatment. |
| Anon on November 20, 2017 at 01:12:53 | |
| I thought Karen was great. She made you feel comfortable during the conversations and I have found the treatment to be very effective. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking into hypnotherapy. |
Verified Client | An instinctive therapist with a real gift. |
| Kitty on November 19, 2017 at 19:47:20 | |
| I have found Karen very intuitive and empathetic as a therapist, closing in instinctively on the causes and concerns that may have produced my particular symptoms. I found the therapy and audio guides very helpful and a supportive form of ongoing treatment. Would definelty recommend to friends and family. |
Verified Client | Empathy and support |
| Joanna Mace on November 03, 2017 at 15:16:01 | |
| Karen was very empathetic and supportive. I found the idea of having the sessions recorded a helpful one, both to remind me of what had been covered and to reinforce the work we had done |
Verified Client | A life changer... |
| Kelli Faux on October 10, 2017 at 22:58:55 | |
| As a shy and withdrawn person, My life was pretty miserable and lonely...and then I met Karen, who has helped me gain a new perspective and drive that I never knew I had in me! My confidence grows more everyday, and my waistline disappears even faster. I find myself, on this amazing journey of self discovery wanting more, chasing that number on the scales and listening every day to Karen's unique way of treatment with the audio therapy sessions......if you have tried it all, and it's once again failed to deliver.....stop now, give Karen a call and change your life....I am pleased I did! |
 Verified Client | Migraine Relief |
| Mike H on September 20, 2017 at 13:20:29 | |
| I went to Karen as I was suffering from migraines and had tried most other remedies. From the start, Karen made me feel very comfortable talking to her not just about my headaches, but also about what may be the underlying cause. Listening to her recordings have been a help and I am now getting less migraines and look forward to when they go completely. |
Verified Client | Excellent and positive experience |
| Mrs R Turvey on September 13, 2017 at 18:44:11 | |
| Karen was professional, understanding and took great care to make feel at complete ease. Thank you |

 Verified Client | Fear the of public speaking. |
| J Marriott on September 13, 2017 at 11:21:00 | |
| Karen helped me get over my fear of public speaking, before my sessions with Karen I was crippled with anxiety about my grooms speech, after three sessions with Karen all my worries and anxiety had gone and I delivered a perfect speech, I would highly recommend using Karen. |
Verified Client | Pleased we visited Karen |
| Sharon on September 13, 2017 at 11:11:31 | |
| My son found the sessions very useful and continues to use the audio recordings. The OCD routines have not been stopped completely but anxiety and the ability to get to sleep have certainly improved along side a more positive outlook. |
Verified Client | Life changing ! |
| Aly on September 13, 2017 at 10:28:32 | |
| Karen really helped me at a very difficult time in my life i will forever be indebted to her , her audio sessions are still helping me almost a year later! |
 Verified Client | I found the whole process a gateway to a new way of being. |
| Martin Teale on September 13, 2017 at 10:19:00 | |
| At the beginning I was slightly uncomfortable about the thought of losing 'control' through hypnosis. The reality was very different. Imagine being in a state of complete and utter relaxation with your mind being readily and accepting of a new possibility and future that just feels helpful and supportive. Through frequent listening of the very creative audio tapes the new future is anchored and becomes your reality. I found the whole process a gateway to a new way of being. |
Verified Client | Professional and trusted hypnotherapist |
| Rhiannon on September 11, 2017 at 11:01:39 | |
| Karen has always been professional and reassuring throughout our meetings. I would highly recommend her and will certainly be using her services again. |
Verified Client | Great overall experience |
| Zoe on September 03, 2017 at 16:25:01 | |
| Very informative, easy to talk to, listened and really understood my daughter. The follow up tapes were very useful and covered a range of topics that my daughter can use now and in the future |
Verified Client | Karen is very pleasant and understanding |
| D H on August 12, 2017 at 12:09:17 | |
| The sessions were very useful to me, and the back up of the audio sessions helped a lot. |
Verified Client | Professional hypnotherapist |
| Sarah M on August 11, 2017 at 15:32:37 | |
| Karen is very professional and clearly has a great deal of experience in her field. I found the recordings to be a useful way of relaxing and hearing the key messages over again, in between sessions. I would highly recommend Karen. |
I went to see Karen as a last resort as I was very depressed and overweight. I wish she had been my first port of call. She helped me feel positive about myself and on doing so I began to lose weight. Thoroughly recommended.

Visiting Karen was life changing. I went to see her having suffered with depression for over 10 years due to a lack of self worth and after just one session I left with renewed confidence and for the first time feeling that I was worth something. I visited Karen a few times after that and every time I looked forward to my session, she is absolutely lovely and was always able to explain things to me in a way that made sense. She also always had suggestions of ways to move forward and the sessions are so relaxing I always left feeling amazing and on a mission. Now I continue to listen to the sessions at home and have peace of mind that Karen is only an email away.

These downloads are safely stored on my iPod (and my iPhone) and I use them regularly. They are a lifeline for me – I use them on the train up to London or at home, and they have made a significant difference to my life. My particular favourite is Transformation, and I also use Change Your Life and Release Negative Thoughts regularly. The Insomnia session has done away with the need for sleeping tablets, and when I tore a ligament in my ankle, Pain Control helped significantly.
Lucy
Hi! Just got back from a fantastic holiday – and the journey through the channel tunnel was fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I managed to stay calm through both trips and didn’t even ‘notice’ going through the tunnels during the journey that would have got me worked up before – some of them can be quite long when going through mountain passes! I used the tape every day we were away – I’m sure there’s a real benefit from just stopping and making time to relax and am keeping going with them now we’re back. I also hope the family noticed I was much more calm, positive and cheerful – I certainly felt it and made a real effort to stay calm and positive.
Alice
Having gone through a long period of upheaval in my personal and professional life, I decided to try hypnotherapy to conquer my overeating habits and reduce my stress levels. Karen came highly recommended and now I can see why! For anyone who is nervous or sceptical – don’t be and just give it a try. Using some of the techniques Karen gave me in the sessions and the downloads to play at home, I have now changed my eating patterns for good. I no longer reach for bread and chocolate as a comfort and my stress levels have reduced enormously giving me the energy to focus on my new business and start enjoying life. Thank you Karen!
