"Karen came highly recommended to me- high praise from each one of her clients that I knew. I approached Karen for support when I was at my lowest ebb- in emotional turmoil with no idea how to feel better. 

Her attention to detail, nurturing and kind approach and tailored scripts meant I got everything she had to offer to suit my needs. She truly does go above and beyond. I never thought I would feel emotionally strong again but I do… that’s thanks to Karen. 

I can face life feeling ok with any wobbles, tears and fears because I feel equipped to deal with it based on my sessions. I can’t recommend Karen enough!! "

"I've been seeing Karen for a few months now to try and deal with anxiety and just feeling generally unhappy. I was skeptical about hypnotherapy at first but sought it out as an option as I couldn't figure out the root cause of my problems. 

I can honestly say my sessions with Karen have helped me tremendously, and even my family can see the change. She provides a calm and welcoming environment, and I thoroughly look forward to our time. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone."

"Karen has been helping me with ill health and anxiety. 

She has such a warm and gentle personality, that when we met I was immediately drawn to her, as to a safe refuge. There was an immediate rapport, the kindness and care with which she listened to me, making it such a comfort to unload my problems with a deep feeling of security.  

Karen has been treating me at a bumpy time in my life. I have had to leave my teaching career after developing Ménière’s disease, which gives me severe vertigo attacks and frequent falls. I have a bereaved Mother to look after, and an adult son With CFS/ME, who requires full time care. My condition itself causes anxiety because of the sensation of being out of control physically. This is, of course, added to by having to be on top of my caring responsibilities. 

My sessions with Karen have generated a sensation of the deepest inner peace, and this lasts for days or weeks after a session. She has a range of beautiful therapies which she applies so skillfully to just what I am needing on the day. I leave our sessions feeling as though I am floating on a cloud, with a sense of inner joy bubbling up somewhere deep inside. Somehow, she generates so much confidence In me, that I really feel that I can cope with anything, while enjoying a delightful sense of happiness and satisfaction in my life. Mountainous obstacles suddenly seem like tiny ant hills, barely noticeable.  

Best of all, Karen has actually been able to relieve me of a vertigo/migraine attack. She gave me a beautiful, soothing session of profound rest, so that the ‘roiling monster’ In my head just drifted away, making me feel as though the sun had come out from behind heave clouds.  Whatever challenges you face in your life, Karen will listen with  care and design a therapy just for you, which will leave you feeling better than you could have imagined. She is the gateway to the peaceful, joyful life that you deserve.  I should also mention, that in these COVID 19 days, Karen has moved our sessions online and they have continued to be wonderfully healing."

"Karen has recently helped me following a dog attack. I'm a dog trainer and found the impact of the attack mentally to be devastating both personally and professionally. 

I liked and trusted Karen from the minute I met her, and following on from a few sessions, the effects have been completely transformational!

I feel like my life is not just back on track, it's even better than before. I feel more confident, positive, and able to deal with difficult situations without them becoming all consuming. I'm back at work and loving it, something that just didn't feel achievable a few short weeks ago. 

I had no idea what to expect when I contacted Karen but I'm so glad I went for it, it's been the best decision I've made in years!"

"I was struggling mentally to come to terms with a number of issues, some unwanted and unexpected - like a divorce. I was put in touch with Karen by close family, and I was immediately put at ease with her. She has a way of making you feel as though you are her only client and that you matter the most to her. She delves into your mind deeply but in a gentle and understanding way.

Karen provided me with a toolbox filled with tools for me to use in different situations, and these tools really helped me a lot. 

Our initial appointment was scheduled after I explained the issues that I had been facing, and not having been in this situation before, Karen put me at ease and helped me relax from the very first time I met her.

I cannot speak highly enough of Karen and Karmtherapy, as she has really helped me through an unpleasant phase of my life. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in a similar situation. Thank you, Karen."

"Karen is lovely! She has a calming temperament and made my son feel immediately at ease. My son was struggling with confidence, depression and anxiety. 

Karen approached my child’s issues using a number of methods to find the technique that he responded to best. 

My son is much happier and family life has considerably improved. I can’t thank Karen enough and would not hesitate to recommend her."

"Karen has worked wonders with my grandson. 

Since the first Covid lockdown, he has not felt able to go to school, feeling nauseous every morning. He has been seen at the Children's Hospital and undergone 2 gastroscopes under general anaesthetic with no cause found for his symptoms. His school has been reluctant to provide psychological input because he was under the gastrologist at the hospital. 

It was tearing the family apart because no one could understand why he was feeling so ill, not eating, and not going to school. As he is 11, he is due to go to senior school in September and was due to sit his SATS in May. I contacted Karen and asked her if she would see him, not knowing whether she would be able to help him or not. This was the best phone call I have ever made because she was able to see him really quickly, and he is now a different child after just 6 sessions. He has been taken off Domperidone, which the hospital put him on for his nausea, as they are so pleased with his progress and is due to be discharged from their follow-up after his next review.

There is nothing worse than having a poorly child in the family, as everyone was losing sleep due to being so worried about him. He was losing weight, he was anemic, and totally lethargic. Since Karen has been seeing him, he is a different child, gaining weight, going to school every day, part of a football team, and attended all his SATS examinations, which we never thought would happen. He is now looking forward to moving on to secondary school, and I can't stress enough how grateful we are for the wonderful work she has done with him and how much better he feels.

Elliot, my grandson, told me he saw a psychologist at school on one occasion, but they didn't arrange to see him again as they said they "could not get involved" as he was under the hospital care. However, Elliot said he much preferred Karen and was happy to see her on a weekly basis. He knows that he can see her again if the need arises at any time, and that is a great safety net for him and the family. We as a family will never be able to thank Karen enough for her expert advice and ultimate professionalism."

"Karen is one of the warmest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet... 

She is incredibly easy to talk to, even when it comes to sharing your most deepest and most personal thoughts. Karen has a very real natural ability to listen and get to the real crux of the issue. 

Karen has helped me with a number of issues, give me simple strategies that I can use every day. She has helped me to gain a better understanding of myself and I am in a much better headspace because of this.

I have cried, ranted, and laughed with Karen. I love my "me time" and cannot recommend her highly enough, she is just so lovely to be around. Everyone needs someone like her in their life, thank you!"

"I was given Karen's details from a friend who found her sessions life changing, and felt that I too would benefit. On my first meeting, Karen made me feel comfortable and confident that we could work together.

I needed to work through various issues in my life and Karen tailor made each session for me. The skills I have are amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing aspect of out sessions.

I would highly recommend Karen, her techniques are amazing."

Amanda B

"From the first time I stepped through the door to meet Karen, I felt at ease. I hadn't thought of therapy of any kind to help with issues I thought were just part of life. Karen listened patiently to my story and devised some strategies to help with the problems. 

Months later, I feel like a different person. I now have the skills to deal with people and situations that, in the past, were making me feel not okay. We found my core belief, and now that belief and feeling of peace are directing me in a better direction in life. Thank you, Karen, for all your help and guidance. You have been amazing for me."
