I had OCD for 12 years, it was my life, I found it hard to work, hard tp sleep, my wife left as she could cope no more. I had CBT, saw a psycologist took many pills, NOTHING WORKED.

I saw Karen after a friend told me about her, she for the 1st time explained how OCD's work, it made sense! I had 7 sessions to treat my anxiety and my OCD. Now I can work, sleep and have a new partner. I feel free and life is worth living!

After 7 years of infertility, 4 failed IVF attempts and a lot of stress, I gave Karen a call after the hospital gave me her number. I became pregnant while thinking about having a 5th cycle of IVF. Karen showed me how to trust my body 1st of all to get pregnant and 2nd to give birth. I think everyone having treatment should have hypnosis, it made so much difference to me.

Having suffered with IBS for 5 years and taken every potion under the sun, I was at my wits end and decided to give hypnotherapy a go as a last resort.

I had come to the point where I didn't want to go anywhere that wasn't within easy reach of a loo. In situations where I wasn't near a loo (whilst travelling or in meetings) my IBS would flare up because I was anxious about my IBS flaring up.

After 5 sessions with Karen, I can't believe the difference it as made.  My IBS has almost gone, and on the very rare occassion it does flare up, Karen has given me the tools to cope with it.

Thank tyou Karen. I can definately recommend hynotherapy for IBS sufferers.

After having many treatments to try and cure my Bulimia I was at my wits end. I saw an article in Zest magazine that featured Karen and gave her a call. Karen explained that she treated Bulimia as an OCD and that was usually the result of anxiety. I had 8 seesions with Karen over 6 months. I haven't made my self sick since the 3rd session and fell in control with this and other areas of my life too. I really thought there was no hope for me, Karen gave me hope and so much more. Thank You.

I made an appoiment to see Karen after she helpped a mate of mine go from a 30 a day smoker to a non smoker. I was having anxiety issues, not sleeping and thinking i was going mad. I had 5 sessions and feel like a different person, hypnosis was not what i was expecting (but in a good way). would tell everyone to have hypnosis it worked wonders for me and my mate.

fter 12 sessions with a another Hypnotherapist who promised to cure all my anxiety for ever i felt worse than ever. I really wondered what had happened to me and vowed never to mention the word hypnosis again! Luckily my best friend had seen Karen a couple of years ago and convinced me to give it a go. The 1st thing Karen did was listen to me (for over an hour), she also took my medical history and then spent time explaining what hypnosis and analysis were all about. I then asked Karen if she could cure me, she told me that, if she could offer cures should would be one rich lady. She also said that she thought my anxiety was treatable with hypnosis and the she could promise to do her best. Then she said something that amazed me, she told me that i must feel comfortable with her, that it was important and if i didn't she would put me in contact with another qualified hypnotherapist, She then sent me on my way, i called her the next day to make an appointment.. I had 8 sessions with Karen, each one was different and each one made a difference. She also taught me self hypnosis, which i use all the time. My anxiety is now normal, i now know that some anxiety is normal. I now feel like a fool for thinking that

We found Karen to be a fantastic teacher.   It was my first pregnancy and I was really worried.  

The course is well structured and informative.  My labour came on so quick that we could not do some of the techniques, I couldn't stand anyone touching me (including James) and therefore all he could do was talk to me.   This enabled me to go with the surges/contractions as oppose to "pushing" with them or clenching my muscles which would have meant pain and a longer labour (although that is the natural reaction).

Finley was born five and a half hours after the onset of labour and is a calm and relaxed baby.  I was so relaxed after the birth that I wanted to go to the Harrogate show which was at the end of the week!!  James understandably refused point blank LOL.

I would gladly talk to anyone about hypnobirthing and Karen as a facilitator- she's amazing and really cares about her clients.

Many thanks again Karen

My wife was given Karens number by Calderdale royal hospital. We were having fertility treatment and it was taking its toll on both of us in many ways. Our last course of IVF worked (with some help from Karen), and i have a beautiful little girl who is now 2 years old. I called Karen earlier this year for some one to one treatment for a Phobia of Birds, this was getting worse and I wanted to take my daughter to feed the ducks. I had 2 sessions and I am throwing that bread with all the other Dad's at Shibden park, and wondering what on earth was so scary about bloody birds!

I was unfortunate enough to find myself on one of the tube trains in the London bombings but very lucky to have got away with only minor injuries. I returned home to the north and did my best to get on with life, except I couldn’t. I had nightmares, flash backs, I felt anxious and worried all the time, I couldn’t think  and had this terrible guilty feeling of why did I live when many others didn’t. My GP was excellent and supportive, I had a course of medication and CBT, but I just felt worse and the flash backs got worse and I suffered with panic attacks. I heard of Karen through a friend, I called her and made an appointment. Karen explained to me that it wasn’t the flash backs themselves that were causing the problems but the emotion attached to them, we worked with EMDR (a very odd process) and worked with hypnosis too. I no longer feel guilty or anxious, I feel like I have a 2^nd chance, I have made other changes in my life too. Thank you Karen for your help and support.
