Testimonials

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 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.

I visited Karen to help with building my confidence and for some relaxation techniques. She has a calm and friendly environment, which immediately puts you at ease. I found the sessions helped me at putting a different perspective on my outlook. The hypnotherapy made me very relaxed and I'm continuing to use the relaxation recording at night to help me clear my thoughts and have a peaceful sleep.

I started hypnotherapy as I was going through a stressful time in my life and wanted help in coping with this. Karen immediately made me feel at ease and was friendly, yet professional. I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed talking to her. Our hypnotherapy sessions always made me feel so much better, and more able to cope and deal with my stresses, as well as understand how stress affects the brain and what you can do to help it. The guided relaxation recording was also amazing and really helped me to sleep, and I'm sure, along with Karen's sessions, had a big effect on building a more positive outlook. My husband even commented that he could see I was different and more relaxed. I would fully recommend Karen.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Karen in our hypnotherapy sessions. Karen was extremely thorough and gave detailed neuroscience-based explanations; she recapped these at every session, which was much appreciated. I felt that Karen really listened to me and took on board the information I gave, and provided me with a tailored and bespoke approach. I was impressed by the level of professionalism and the level of hypnotherapy knowledge that Karen holds. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen to others. Since my hypnotherapy sessions with Karen, I have completely gained control over my phobia which has had a direct impact on my quality of life.

I came to hypnotherapy hoping to feel more relaxed and positive after a period of overwhelm and anxiety. Thanks to Karen's professional, calm and considerate approach, I now have practical techniques to manage stress and a healthier mindset. I've learned to relax, cope with change, and be kinder to myself. Karen made me feel safe and supported throughout, and I would absolutely recommend her to others.

I initially sought Karen's support to address difficulties I had in processing anger, which originated from childhood trauma. Throughout our sessions, Karen not only equipped me with effective hypnotherapy techniques to manage these emotions more constructively, but also helped me have a more positive outlook on my life. The nightly hypnotherapy audio recordings provided me with a sense of calm and played a significant role in my emotional stability. Karen consistently offered a compassionate and secure environment in which I felt comfortable sharing openly. I am sincerely grateful for the tools and insights I have gained through working with her, resources that I continue to draw upon daily.

I received solution-focused hypnotherapy at Plymstock Hypnotherapy for my Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and I can't recommend them enough. From the very first session, Karen made me feel supported and understood with her calm and professional nature. The sessions have helped me shift my mindset; I now feel more in control, more positive and much less overwhelmed by everyday stress. If you're considering hypnotherapy I wholeheartedly recommend Plymstock Hypnotherapy.

Karen helped me develop techniques to aid relaxation and deal with anxiety. Her kind manner and deep insight really helped me relax and I still use the guidance when feeling overwhelmed. Each session was useful, and Karen makes you feel like you are in a place of safety throughout. She has a genuinely warm and intuitive style, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for advice on dealing with anxiety.

I had the pleasure of working with Karen at Plymstock Hypnotherapy through Google Meet, and I’m so glad I did. From our very first session, Karen had a very calming and reassuring presence. I felt in safe hands with such a competent, friendly, and non-judgemental therapist. Over video calls, the sessions were deeply relaxing and effective. I always came away feeling more grounded, clear-minded, and in control. It’s amazing how much positive change can happen from the comfort of your own home. Karen’s approach is both professional and deeply compassionate, which instantly put me at ease. One of the areas we focused on was improving my REM sleep, and I was amazed at how effective her strategies were. I highly recommend Karen to anyone considering hypnotherapy, whether in person or online.

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.

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!

I came to Plymstock Hypnotherapy in December at a very low point in my life. I had never really believed in therapy before and always thought it wasn’t for me. Well, I can say it’s truly been life changing for me, and I only wished I had tried it before. From the moment I met Karen with her warm and non-judgemental approach, I felt listened to and instantly was able to relax and focus on becoming the best version of myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart; I now have the tools to handle my future. Please give this therapy a try; it will only enhance your wellbeing
