Hello
Hello, I'm Carolyn, and if you've landed here, chances are something in your life is shifting and you're trying to figure out what that means for you. I know that feeling well. It's what led me here too.
I love working with those who are in the middle of a transition: a career change, a relationship shift, the children leaving home, a growing sense that life is calling you somewhere new. Those in-between moments can feel unsettling, but they're also full of possibility. I'd love to help you find your path.
I also have extensive experience working with students. If you're looking for a practitioner who genuinely understands student life, the academic pressure, the homesickness, the identity questions, I'd be happy to have that conversation with you.

My Path into Hypnotherapy
My path to hypnotherapy wasn't a straight one. I spent over fifteen years teaching undergraduate statistics and before that I worked in business consultancy. I've been through the ups and downs of juggling family life with work and study, starting and closing a small business, working crazy hours and being in burnout. But those years gave me something I treasure: a genuine love of understanding how people think, how we process the world around us, and what actually helps us change.
The students I worked with were mostly from overseas, who had uprooted their lives, moved to a new country and were trying to find their feet academically, culturally, and personally, often all at the same time. My time in Higher Education and business taught me how resilient people truly are, how much context matters, and how powerful it is when someone simply feels understood. That's what I try to offer in every hypnotherapy session. I am genuinely curious about you: where you are, where you want to be, and what's getting in the way. The best part is when someone has that moment, where their primitive mind backs off, their intuition kicks in, their rational mind gets in on the act and they identify that small action that both surprises them and moves them forward.
Solution focused hypnotherapy is beautifully practical. We're not going to spend hours digging through the past. Instead, we'll work with how your brain actually functions, build on what's already working and help you move forward feeling more like yourself again.
