Hypnotherapy in Plymstock & Online

You’re one step closer to a brighter future

Hi, I’m Karen Clark; welcome to my website. I’m guessing you’re here because you’re interested in whether hypnotherapy can help you to feel better, think differently, or do the things you want to do. It can!

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is excellent for helping to reduce the negative impact of stress, anxiety and overwhelm and improving your emotional wellbeing. It works simultaneously on the brain and body, which is why it can help with so many conditions. For a comprehensive list of what Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help with, please see the How I can Help page.

As opposed to many therapies that focus on past trauma and problems that are holding you back, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a kind and gentle, yet powerful, therapy that helps you to make significant, positive changes so you can enjoy life the way you want to. It focuses on the here and now, looking towards your preferred future and what you want to achieve (the solution), rather than at the past and whatever prompted you to seek help (the problem). We don’t ignore the problem, we just don’t dwell on it. You do not need to revisit any trauma or negativity in order to move forward with your life. Most people find their hypnotherapy sessions interesting and enjoyable, as well as deeply relaxing.

🙌 I’ve supported many clients to overcome challenges, establish a positive mindset and change unwanted habits. My aim is to empower you to regain control and enjoy a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. I also have first hand experience of being a client; please click here to see how hypnotherapy helped me to move forward with my life.

Smoking Cessation, Stress and Anxiety

Seeing Karen for hypnotherapy was a genuinely transformative experience. My primary goal was to quit smoking after 40 years, and I am absolutely thrilled to say that I haven't had a single craving since my session! I was honestly skeptical, but the results have been incredible. What I didn't expect was the profound impact Karen also had on my stress and anxiety levels related to my demanding job. I now handle setbacks with a calm I never thought possible, and my constant irritability has vanished. As an added bonus, I've even stopped biting my nails, a lifelong anxiety coping mechanism...

I was honestly skeptical, but the results have been incredible. What I didn't expect was the profound impact Karen also had on my stress and anxiety levels related to my demanding job. I now handle setbacks with a calm I never thought possible, and my constant irritability has vanished. As an added bonus, I've even stopped biting my nails, a lifelong anxiety coping mechanism I hadn't even consciously focused on. This has been truly amazing and has made a huge difference in my life. Don't wait like I did - see Karen now!

My experience of working with Karen Clark at Plymstock Hypnotherapy has been outstanding. She approached every hypnotherapy session with expertise and kindness, clearly explaining the process and how it could help relieve my brain and body of stress. She then moved on to a guided hypnosis, especially chosen to address my needs. I felt comfortable and relaxed in her expert care and left every session feeling more positive and less stressed. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough for her compassionate and expert approach to hypnotherapy.

Life Changing Trauma

I have been attending weekly hypnotherapy sessions with Karen since my partner's life changing accident which took place in October 2024.  Over the months, Karen supported me in navigating a very challenging time at home. I found Karen to be empathic, kind and I always felt 'held'.  I believe my time with Karen gave me the strength to manage week to week and provided me with valuable insights which were very beneficial.  I highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking a supportive and caring space to explore their thoughts and emotions.

Relaxation and Sleep Quality

I had several hypnotherapy sessions with Karen to help me with general relaxation and sleep quality. The hours I spent with her felt magical, and I would pretty much float away following them. She made me feel so safe and secure. Even just the sound of her voice is enough to make me feel more relaxed, and my sleep improved! She tailored the sessions to fit me and my needs specifically. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Karen!
