Karen Dunnet
About me
Who am I? Hello, my name is Karen Dunnet. I am a fully qualified and experienced Solution Focused Hypnotherapist as well as a senior tutor with CPHT Preston and a supervisor. My goal in life is to help people overcome their issues and lead their lives to the full!
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy? Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a very positive and forward looking therapy. We focus on solutions not problems. It is talking therapy that combines psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, based on the latest neuroscience and brain research. We all have all the resources and strengths that we need to make positive changes to our lives but sometimes we need a little help to find them.
How Can I Help You? We will work together to:
- reduce anxiety and stress
- increase your understanding of what is happening on your brain and how to turn it round so that it works for you.
- build confidence
- give you back conscious control
- set achievable goals
I genuinely care about all my clients. My mission is to help YOU reach YOUR goals.
What to Expect in your First Session: The Initial Consultation lasts for 50 minutes and it is during this session that I would ask you for details of what you feel is wrong with your life and what you would like to change. I then give you a simple explanation of how the brain works, with specific reference to your problem, and how trance can help us to make the changes you wish to achieve in. I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have throughout this session. The Initial Consultation will enable me to develop a personalised treatment plan for you.
What Happens Next? Subsequent sessions are 50 minutes long. It generally takes between 8 and 10 sessions but this does vary from person to person. There are a couple of exceptions to this: smoking cessation is a single, double length session and specific phobias can be treated in just 4 sessions.

Member organisations
Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
I offer Walking Therapy sessions and I also work with cancer sufferers and their carers.
