Karen Mills

I am an experienced therapist and I am a NLP Master Practitioner, certified advanced practitioner in EFT and registered with EFT International, EFT Identity Healing Practitioner, trained in clinical hypnotherapy, a Laughter Yoga Leader,  Reiki Practitioner and a Teacher of Facial Gua Sha.

If you have ever felt that your confidence has been affected or you cannot allow self-kindness this may have resulted from experiences that you have faced as a younger you, sometimes a very younger you.  You may not know how to deal with certain situations in life because of this and keep repeating the same behaviour patterns.

I have experience working with people that lack self-confidence or cannot find it within themselves to allow self-kindness.  If someone wants to make a change, I can help them to make a behavioural shift and steer them from where they are now to where they want to go.

Other areas that I have experience of working with are removing phobias, confidence building, low self esteem such as not feeling good enough, increasing motivation, habit breaking, setting and meeting goals, exam nerves, presentation nerves, self-belief and timelines.

Why work with me?
I am a people person and have worked as a trainer, firstly in colleges from 1997 and then the NHS (UK Health service) since 2002.  I always want to see the best result for people and an observation I made when teaching and training was how fear often overtook the ability for people to learn or to shine as a person.  When I discovered  Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), I set about learning how I could use techniques to assist people overcome their fears and build up confidence and be kinder to themselves and started my journey of discovery into other therapies and studied and became a practitioner in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), EFT Identity Healing Practitioner, trained in clinical hypnotherapy, a reiki practitioner and a Laughter Yoga Leader.  I regularly attend update sessions and practice sessions to keep my skills up-to-date.  Most recently I have trained and qualified as a Facial Gua Sha teacher.  

Gua Sha and EFT are both techniques that have evolved from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involve using the acupressure points throughout the body to release any stuck energy and can be used to manage pain, calm the mind, to energise the mind and body and release negative emotions as well as other benefits.

I have often been told by people that I am a very patient person and listen with understanding and calmness.  I am respectful of others and do not judge people for the struggles that they have faced and how they have tried to deal with them.

I offer a 30 minute FREE consultation to establish if I am a right fit for your needs, this can be carried out online or by telephone.  If I feel that I cannot offer you the help or support that you need either because it is not my speciality or I do not feel skilled enough in a particular area, I would let you know and if I know someone who may be able to help, I will refer you to them for you to investigate if they can help you.
