I hold an enhanced DBS and am fully insured to work with both adults and children. I am a Member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), The National Council of Hypnotherapy (NCH) and Registered with The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNCH). I also assist with lectures at the accredited Clifton Practice of Hypnotherapy Training School Manchester.

Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

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.

Further information
I have listed some client testimonials which I hope may help you.
"Karen has been so wonderful and supportive. Having never tried hypnotherapy before I didn't know quite what to expect but Karen explained things so well and provided such detailed explanation which was easy to understand! Yes you have to put some work and focus into it as well but after a few weeks I definitely started noticing the benefits and felt much calmer each day. Things that had previously caused stress I now found were more manageable. Hypnotherapy is like taking a deep breath in and letting it all out on a permanent basis" Thank you so much!" Kim F
"After my hypnotherapy sessions with Karen I am now sleeping better and have a more relaxed outlook. I now remember things from the past in a new and positive way" Anne T
“Life became so busy and demanding, a certain time of life didn’t help either. I lost confidence and a sense of direction. I knew where I wanted to be but couldn’t find the way. Karen’s guidance and support throughout the sessions and beyond, helped me find the path back to the “Old Me” or should I say the “New Me “. There’s no magic wand, its work in progress but I now have the capability of feeling positive again in moving forward” Steph H
"I am in a much more relaxed state of mind. Whereas previously I felt embarrassed when speaking to people and often avoided social contact the sessions were extremely pleasant and I cannot speak highly enough of Karen's personality and positive reassurance. The trance work we did helped me relax and improved greatly my sleep patterns which has a positive affect on my day to day confidence and well-being. I would highly recommend any person with issues rooted in self confidence to contact Karen because I am sure she has the knowledge to advise and the sessions can transform anyone's life" Tony T
