Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist
Clinical Hypnotherapy Supervisor

Former Senior Lecturer CPHT Bournemouth

I am a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapy Supervisor with a private practice in my home in Trowbridge, working with clients either face to face or online via Zoom.

Having trained for two years, gaining Diplomas in hypnotherapy, counselling and psychotherapy, I became increasingly interested in the workings of the mind and in particular how depression and anxiety states develop.

It was through my continued professional development with The Clifton Practice in Bristol, one of the most prestigious training schools in the Country, that I gained further Diplomas in Solution Focused Brief Therapy Skills, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy skills and the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD), considered to be the Gold Standard in Hypnotherapy qualifications. Through further training, I discovered how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy was able to help people to make the changes they wanted in their lives, both quickly and effectively, drawing on research within neuroscience and the way the brain works.

I went on to gain the Accredited Hypnotherapy Supervisor Qualification and I am able to offer help and support to other hypnotherapists in private practice through my knowledge and increasing experience.

I qualified in 2008 and specialise in anxiety and its associated symptoms. I use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to help my clients overcome a range of issues. I am approachable, professional and caring and I attend frequent peer supervision sessions, courses and workshops to keep me up to date with the latest research and increase my knowledge base. This enables me to offer my clients the most up to date therapy.

I am a member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH). National Hypnotherapy Society, the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), and abide by their strict code of standards and ethics.

Testimonial

"I first realised I was battling anxiety when I happened to see a piece by Kirsten Corley – How To Love Someone With Anxiety. It said it all, there it was in black and white, a mirror image of how I felt, and what I was going through."

Testimonial

"I just wanted to write to thank you for all your help and tell you I had my graduation ceremony last week."

Testimonial

"I realised I had developed an eating disorder when foods I had been consuming for many years were no longer appealing to me and I was experiencing extreme tension and panic attacks when presented with some of these foods."

Testimonial

"I developed anxiety attacks at the age of 38 after the birth of my first child. The trigger, bizarrely, was water."

"Thank you for all your help, I am certainly getting back on track now!"

Thanks again for all your help, I have learnt some fantastic life skills that I know will make a difference to mine and others lives also.

Testimonial

"The sessions with Kim were brilliant for me and my partner to work together on breathing, relaxation and visualising how I wanted things to be. The baby enjoyed them too, and would lie still for the duration of the session. At home I listened to the CDs, often falling asleep to them."

Testimonial

"I wanted to write to you to thank you for introducing me to self hypnosis. The guidance you provided helped me achieve the birth I wanted."

Testimonial

"My baby boy arrived into the world on 17th October and after all the best laid plans it was discovered he was breech and too large/late to turn him, so I ended up having a caesarian at very short notice."

Testimonial

"Our baby boy was born entirely of his own accord (38+2) after my waters broke on the Monday night!"

Testimonial

"Over the years I had lost my confidence and self esteem, so making the decision to get help was a big one. It took over a year for me to pluck up the courage to contact Kim and make an appointment. It was one of the best decisions I have made for myself."

Testimonial

"Whilst on holiday to Cyprus, I visited a little lagoon every day to snorkel. Did you ever imagine I would be saying that? I picked up 2 stones from the bottom of the lagoon and visited the hotel pool. By the second day, I was floating and swimming with a snorkel!"

Testimonial

"Working with Kim changed me dramatically, I am a completely different person and so much happier and more confident. Kim has helped me to see life with positive eyes and keep perspective on things that happen. Kim has helped me feel strong and positive again, so that I can move forward."

Testimonial

"Hi, I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for my teenage daughter. She is so much happier and confident in herself.

Testimonial

"I had suffered from low self-esteem all my life and lacked self-confidence. Now I was faced with delivering a wedding speech to 100 people because my daughter was engaged and the wedding date had been set.

Testimonial

"I just wanted to tell you my amazing news ... I got my dream job in Cyprus!"

Testimonial

"I have bitten my nails since as long as I can remember and I had tried everything over the years to break the habit but nothing ever worked."

Testimonial

"I came to Kim harboring a great deal of anxiety, much of which was around my struggles with sleep. I’d had numerous nights of getting virtually no sleep at all and it was really starting to take its toll on me – very much affecting my day-to-day life."

Testimonial

"Kim made me feel relaxed and at ease right from the start. It became apparent that my problems were all centered on my weight. The last time that I went to the doctors and got my weight checked I was twenty seven and a half stone."

Testimonial

"I just wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know that we successfully crossed the Channel!!"

Testimonial

"I wanted to thank you so much for all you have done to help me."

Testimonial

"I am just back from a fabulous holiday!"

Testimonial

"After many years of suffering with a severe dental phobia I decided enough was enough and it was time to get some help. It is difficult to fully describe the impact this was causing to my life and health but it had taken over."

Testimonial

"I have just returned from a wonderful family holiday in Italy. We went away in a large family group for a wedding which is something that I would have found very difficult before you treated me for my Emetophobia."

Testimonial

"We came to Kim not knowing very much about Hypnotherapy after our 8 year old son had been receiving counselling for anxiety, which we didn't feel was particularly helpful for him. He had a poor and erratic sleep pattern and struggled to cope in certain situations."
