Karen Briggs Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist

Best thing I have done in a long time the differences I have noticed since having my sessions with Karen have been phenomenal!

My teenage daughter had hypnotherapy with Karen to help her overcome some anxieties that she was having with school. My daughter was refusing to go to school. She was also having difficulty with sleeping. Karen explained what was going on in her brain, how anxiety is caused and how hypnotherapy could help. And it did. Karen has a very warm and welcoming manner. My daughter was immediately put at ease and after just one session the positive effects were felt. My daughter was able to sleep better, and as she began to use the strategies that Karen taught her, she started to feel able to cope better with her anxieties. I thoroughly recommend Karens services.

I was nervous, first contacting Karen, which was bound to be the case as I was very stressed at the time. I was immediately made to feel comfortable, valid, listened to, understood and not judged. From there, it was all about solutions. Understanding, simplistically how the brain works in different situations, and learning ways to cope better with change has had a hugely positive effect on me. (Also, the hypnotherapy is like a brain-massage).

Such a positive and helpful experience on many different levels. My time here has been a safe place to reflect on and move on from some difficult times experienced over the last few years. I came primarily to explore my relationship with food and I have gained insights which have already started to shift some unhelpful eating habits. Overall the benefits have been to help me to establish more useful ways of thinking using the Hypnotherapy techniques and knowledge about how the brain works. As a result my sleep has improved significantly and my levels of anxiety have reduced. I feel grounded and more energised and in more control of my decisions and choices. An all-round positive and beneficial experience made possible by Karen's person centred and understanding approach. I would not hesitate to return in the future should the need arise.

Ive attended sessions with Karen for treatment of long standing anxiety, social anxiety and depression issues that havent been very responsive to other forms of treatment. Hypnotherapy with Karen has easily been most effective therapy Ive done and I highly recommend it. Karen is warm and compassionate and her office is cosy and welcoming. I felt at home from the first session. The hypnosis aspect of the sessions has been very helpful for calming anxiety symptoms, putting things in perspective and feeling positive, whereas the therapy aspect has helped me evaluate where I am struggling and come up with strategies to to overcome my issues. Since attending hypnotherapy, I can socialise with much less anxiety and am managing to navigate an extremely challenging time in my life without sliding in to depression. Ive noticed a definite improvement in my mood and a more positive outlook. I always leave therapy feeling renewed and positive about my future, which seemed unthinkable before I started.
