About me

Hi, I’m Karen, an experienced solution-focused clinical hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, and executive coach offering face to face and online sessions. 

My passion is helping clients overcome issues that may be holding them back in life, and I love nothing more than seeing clients who were previously 'stuck' or felt like they had no options, to now live a life where their heart can sing. 

If you're feeling like this may be an unattainable goal for you, then I am here to reassure you it is achievable, you do have the resources you need to make things better, and I can help.

What I can help with:

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, or depression... and want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your emotions.  

Whether you want to quit smoking... walking away from one two-hour session designed to help you step confidently into a smoke-free life.

Whether you want to make improvements in your weight management...losing weight, stopping bad eating habits and getting rid of food cravings 

Whether you have a phobia that debilitates you...and want to feel free to live a life without worry about panic attacks, moving forward with freedom 

Whether you feel like your business, career or relationships are stagnating, and want to improve your performance...to realise your full potential in life and for you to flourish

Whether you are struggling with sleep, waking up worrying or feeling sluggish in the mornings... and want to sleep more deeply and restfully, releasing tension and waking up feeling refreshed and energised.

Whether you have a child who has challenges, such as picky eating, poor behaviour, ADHD, emetophobia (fear of being sick), or sleep...and want to have a peaceful, calmer, more restful home life

I can help. No need to rake up painful experiences and memories, I work with you to focus on what you want to have happen, and the life you want to create for yourself. One small step at a time. I work with you so you can rediscover your strengths, reconnect with who you truly are, and step into a life where your heart can sing.

How I Work

My approach is focused on listening, and really hearing what you need to share. Taking a non-judgemental, gentle, empowering, and future-focused approach. There’s no need to relive the past or analyse the problem in detail. Instead, we work together to quieten the mind, strengthen inner resources, and create meaningful, lasting change, removing blocks or barriers to progress, one small, achievable step at a time.

Helping you to evolve your mind, empower yourself, and elevate your life.

I offer sessions online, making therapy accessible, flexible, and deeply comfortable for you. In-person sessions can be arranged on request.

I work with adults and children, am fully qualified, have full insurance, am DBS checked, have regular supervision and CPD.

What to Expect

It's really important that this is the right therapy for you. So I encourage you to book in a complimentary 15 minute 'discovery call' before making any commitment to Hypnotherapy.

Once you want to go ahead we will schedule a 50-minute initial consultation, where we explore what you’d like to achieve and how we can work together.

Ongoing sessions are also 50 minutes, except the stop smoking session, which is a single 2-hour session.

Together, we focus on:

  • What’s working
  • What you want to achieve
  • The small steps that move you forward
  • Rewiring the brain toward calm, clarity, and confidence

We'll work quickly together, so you start to see feel and hear results.

Clients tell me they feel more in control, more relaxed, more calm, more confident, and are sleeping better, and noticing positive changes quickly.

All sessions are delivered online, allowing you to relax in your own space and experience therapy in a way that feels safe, calm, and convenient. This means it doesn't matter where you are, you can still receive the support you need.

Why Choose A Life Inspired

  • A compassionate, non-judgemental space
  • A future-focused, evidence-based approach
  • A calm, soothing therapeutic style
  • A blend of hypnotherapy and coaching for deeper, lasting change
  • Online sessions for comfort and flexibility
  • A clear, structured path to transformation

My mission is simple: to help you live an inspired life, lighter, calmer, and filled with purpose.

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 also work with clients on business or sports performance issues such as imposter syndrome, confidence, stress and anxiety, and 'fawning', helping clients to reach higher levels of performance, get promoted and to ask for what they want in the workplace.
