Change Starts Here!

In practice since 2001, I have a wealth of experience in many areas and am still discovering new ways to help people using hypnotherapy. I am passionate about hypnotherapy and what it can achieve and love applying what I have learned over the years in new and interesting ways for my clients.

My name is Karen Shaw, and I live and work in Plymouth, Devon.  As an experienced Hypnotherapist I have thoroughly enjoyed working with older clients, helping them amongst other things to overcome anxiety, fears and worries about ageing, manage lifestyle changes, as well as helping with pain and palliative care.  Consequently training and qualifying as a practitioner of the Ageing Unplugged® programme has been a natural progression for me, and I look forward to being able to help people achieve their full potential and make the most of their later years.

Having a background in Hypnotherapy is a great advantage, as it means I am experienced in encouraging people to identify their own strengths and resources, and to utilise them to solve problems, alleviate fears, and make the most of life.  Also clients can decide whether or not to have Hypnotherapy, Ageing Unplugged® or a combination of both.

I became interested in psychology while training to become a teacher, and have made a lifelong study of it for both personal and professional interest.  Since leaving the teaching profession I have had various roles in business, and finally made the break to work with my major interest in 2016 when I completed Hypnotherapy training.  In my spare time I enjoy walking, particularly on Dartmoor, along the coast and in the many wonderful woodlands we have in the UK.

Hello and Welcome

I’m an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist practicing in a beautiful corner of East Yorkshire.

I work with clients of all ages wanting to eradicate issues and increase their happiness.

I am a trained counsellor, EFT (Tapping) Practitioner and Life Coach. I use a combination of all these skills to help clients overcome their emotional problems and get on with their life, better than ever.

I work in a very warm, positive, uplifting way. I believe every one benefits from having a life audit every now and then. Things can always be improved. Life should be as good as it can be!
