I have worked in the NHS as a registered general nurse, midwife and am currently a sister on the neonatal intensive care unit where I look after very sick very pre-term babies. This is a  stressful, high powered, professional career supporting families in sometimes very difficult times but can also be a very rewarding career

I understand the pressures of working in a high powered professional job where there is a lack of support and I can teach you tools and strategies to help you to cope when working in a high powered, stressful environment.

I have over 30 years of experience working in a neonatal intensive care unit and love the work that I do, so decided with all the experience I have to provide support and relaxation for parents with babies in a neonatal unit, breastfeeding support as research has shown that hypnotherapy can increase your milk supply and I also offer skin to skin relaxation sessions with your baby either mum or dad (as sometimes dads can feel left out).

I also provide support and coping strategies for anyone with vertigo and vestibular migraine as well as support with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, poor sleep.

I offer a 10% discount to NHS staff as I understand the pressures of working for the NHS, the culture we work in, and the lack of support and help that is available.

Testimonials

My experience with Carol has been completely life changing. She helped me to find techniques to cope with anxiety with positivity and light. I have found her sessions so helpful and learned how to manage stress.

Her approach is really professional and environment very comfortable.

I really recommend Carol’s services. I definitely would like to come back to her again if I need hypnotherapy.

During a period of high stress, I was recommended to try hypnotherapy, and Carols name was given to me as a young woman who could help me. I had never been treated with hypnotherapy before, but decided to try this method to help me through my stressful time. The session with Carol was very good, and helped me cope with my problem, and she left me with tips to overcome stressful moments with things to do at the moment when a stress related incident occurs. I can highly recommend Carols Hypnotherapy treatment.

I went to see carol after a failed IVF cycle before starting a fresh round of IVF. Undergoing IVF is stressful and both physically and mentally draining. Carol taught me techniques which I could use myself at home to relax and reduce my anxiety throughout the IVF processes. With the help of hypnotherapy I was able to feel more relaxed, sleep better and feel less anxious. Thanks to carol my second round of IVF was a totally different experience and I now have a beautiful little boy.
