Karen Allen – Dip Hyp, MAPHP, ITEC
About Me
From the moment we begin, everything is shaped around your individual needs, your experiences, and what you’re hoping to move forward from.
Holistic therapy looks at the whole person – not just one symptom or issue.
Physical, emotional, mental and even energetic well-being are all interconnected. When one area is supported, others often begin to shift naturally too.
By combining a range of therapies and techniques, I create a tailored approach that gently supports positive change – at your pace, in your way.
Experience You Can Feel Confident In
With close to 30 years as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Holistic Therapist based in North Yorkshire, plus 7 years specialising in hypnotherapy, I bring a depth of experience across a wide range of areas.
I have a particular interest in helping people break free from overwhelming stress and anxiety, unwanted habits, fears and phobias, while also supporting clients with a wide range of emotional and wellbeing challenges.
I continue to regularly attend CPD training to ensure my work remains current, effective, and aligned with best practice – so you can feel confident you’re in safe, knowledgeable hands.
A Safe, Supportive Space
I provide a calm, welcoming environment where you can explore what’s been holding you back – without judgement, pressure, or expectation.
Together, we work to gently uncover what needs attention and move towards meaningful, lasting change.
Because the truth is…
You are the expert on you.
My role is simply to help you rediscover that.
A Little More About Me
I come from a farming background and have always felt a strong connection to the outdoors, nature, and wildlife – something that continues to ground and inspire me today.
Outside of my work, I enjoy walking (often with dogs), spending time with family, and supporting my adult neurodiverse children as they explore new experiences and opportunities.
I’ve also recently discovered a love of creative projects – though I’ll admit, some are more successful than others!
I believe it’s often the simple, quiet moments in life that restore us the most – something I bring gently into my work with clients.
And above all, I value real connection, kindness, and creating a space where people feel truly at ease.
If you’re ready to take that first step, or simply want to find out more, I’m here when you’re ready.
