“Hi Karen, I just wanted to let you know that the wedding went really well. I was nervous getting ready but I was so calm during the ceremony (everything we covered in the sessions). I spoke really well and I am so glad we ran through the day a couple of times! I was so emotional and teary all morning (which we didn’t work on) but fine once I got there! So glad it’s over! I no longer feel sick!! Thanks for your help.

I am so grateful for Karen’s help to remove anxiety and overthinking from my day to day life. The feelings were building after a few bad experiences but her practices have removed those horrible feelings and have helped me move on with my life.
She was welcoming and helpful and after each hypnosis session I instantly felt relaxed and calm. I am so happy with the results and how fast they worked after only a couple of session. I feel much more myself and in control of my life again!

Just to say thanks Karen for helping me out. You have definitely changed the way I think, you are amazing at what you do.
Its been around about 5 weeks since I last seen you and every day gets better and better, I love it no more thinking and going over and over things all the time, life is good.
Thanks again I would recommend anyone out there to go and see Karen, she will change your life forever ????????????????

I have been taking my daughter, who suffers from anxiety, to see Karen for the last couple of years. Karen is absolutely amazing with her and manages to ease her anxiety and brings her back to a manageable level. My daughter is a high achiever and puts some huge pressures on herself in regards to this. The anxiety seems to escalate over time so when it does build up to a unmanageable level we book a session with Karen. The results afterwards are fantastic. It isn’t necessarily like turning a light on and off but during the week following I can notice the differences in her and her much calmer disposition.
A bonus of visiting Karen for a session is also the wonderful location of her offices. There is a lovely cafe on the premises and my daughter and I take the time to have a hot drink and a snack, something that my daughter absolutely loves to do with me. So for us this is an absolute bonus of visiting Karen.
I am so grateful we have found Karen and have recommended her to many of my friends, who have all have wonderful results in their lives from seeing her. I would highly recommend contacting Karen for any issues you may be experiencing in your life. She is a very warm and kind person which I believe compliments her professionally. I am so glad I found Karen and forever grateful she has been able to help my daughter get through this time.

I came to Karen emotionally exhausted after battling tremendous amount of stress and anxiety at work and at home, also dealing with grief after losing a parent unexpectedly overnight 2 years earlier. I had also lost another two close family members to cancer within 12 months of losing my dad.
I felt that I was running in a hamster-wheel spinning faster and faster, with no solution on how to get out, nor slow it down. I had the last 6 moths started to have severe issues with controlling emotions, with my partner majority of the time being on the receiving end. Also dealing with anxiety on a daily basis in a high paced, high performing, competitive work environment.
I am so happy that I reached out to Karen after looking for a psychologist with alternative methods, and was interested in hypnotherapy to deal with the underlying issues causing my state at the time. Karen is highly professional, and I felt welcome and cared for from the start.
One thing I did love about the process, is that I wasn’t required to tell her everything. I had seen another psychologist a few years earlier, where she wanted me to tell her my full life story in detail. Instead, Karen focuses on the key parts of the puzzle, and treat them accordingly. Together we created a plan, involving only a few sessions, and how we would get there including weekly metings and homework for me to focus on between the appointments.
I met with Karen 4 times, and saw results already after the first session. Today I am back on track feeling like myself again. Like an elephant has been lifted off my shoulders and with a positive look on the future and what it brings. I have learnt what I need to focus on for a balanced mindset, and what I need to work on in my lifestyle to minimise stress.
Based on my experience I would highly recommend Karen to anyone dealing with anxiety and trauma. I can not believe what she helped me accomplish in only a few sessions and has given me a new look at life. Also knowing my partner is equally grateful.

Therese, Western Australia

I’ve been using Karren Verall’s Clinical Hypnotherapy service for the last two months. In that time I have gone down two dress sizes, improved the mobility in my arthritic knee joints and achieved a level of calm that pervades all aspects of my home and work life.
Karen Verrall has given me the tools to do the right things for my body without even thinking about it. She is always there to answer my questions and offer support.

Jenni-Marie Webb, Stratton WA

If you are thinking that you might like to try hypnosis or neurolinguistic programming then I would thoroughly recommend seeing Karen Verrall.
Karen is very caring and thoughtful as well as being highly professional in her approach to treatment.
She is located in a beautiful area and the calm environment of her office also helps you feel comfortable and achieve good results with hypnosis and relaxation.
You will be in good hands.

I just lost my wonderful horse who has been in the family for over 22 years, suddenly and very unexpected. Yes, he was old and he was glorious, almost in his prime. So his sudden death left me in disbelief.
While in my heart was able to accept the fact that every life comes to an end, there were 2 incidents that were traumatising to me. One of them seeing all the empty buckets, rugs and other gear that belonged to him and having to deal with them.
Karen did a TraumaClear session with me to help me getting out of that trauma and being able to deal with these things. She mentioned that we are erasing memories that are traumatising. When I left the session, I friend called me and asked me how I were and what we had done. I told her that we cleared 2 traumatic memories and to my surprise I was not even able to recall one of them, no matter how hard I tried.
Thank you Karen, this was swift, easy and very effective. Very recommendable!

I’m a mental health Occupational Therapist and after several incidents at work involving aggressive and impulsive patients, I became anxious and fearful about going to work, and was seriously considering resigning. After seeing Karen and working through the TraumaClear program, I am no longer fearful and can again look forward to going to work!
One example is of a patient who became aggressive and intimidating in a therapy session and induced the flight response in me. I was subsequently very anxious about seeing them again. After Karen cleared this event, the next time I saw the patient I had no anxious reaction, and was able to effectively engage with the patient.
I would recommend health professionals seek treatment from Karen to manage anxiety, improve their comfort and effectiveness at work and overall well-being in their personal life.
Karen is very knowledgeable, understanding and non-judgemental and it is evident that she has a genuine interest in helping people to be the best version of themselves.

Thank you for your support during my recent sessions with you in dealing with my feelings of grief.
On every occasion after seeing you I experienced a deeper sense of calm. I feel I have been able to progress from a profound sadness to a sense of recognising that I will be able to cope and that it is not necessary to try to go it alone but that to seek assistance is a wise and appropriate action.
Your approach is welcoming and your techniques are relaxing and supportive. Each visit has been a very positive experience and I feel I have gained good strategies for the present and for the future.
Again, thank you. I may see you in the future, but for the moment I will build on the strength you have allowed me to discover.

Like many people, my childhood was not ideal. I was almost constantly in fear, and feelings of shame and stress were daily occurrences. It left me with many scars, and unhelpful beliefs about myself including very low self esteem, unhappiness and a constant desire make others happy at the expense of myself. As a mother I did not want this cycle passed onto my beautiful children. So I sought help through various psychologists.
This process was extremely costly and time consuming. I also tried various natural therapies, to no avail. Diet and exercise helped, but again did not really address the root of the problem. Finally, the doctor recommended antidepressants, leaving me feeling completely disempowered. With one crazy, last effort having read about the amazing healing that can occur from hypnotherapy to help deal with past trauma, I called Karen.
Karen has been the most positive step I have made in my life. I now feel in control of my life, and am beginning to realise that not only can I be happy, but that I deserve to be. I leave each and every session with amazing insights that help me feel empowered and let go of all the negative baggage such as anger, sadness and bitterness and somehow look at difficulty situations with fresh eyes and hope. Karen is also an amazing listener, who does not judge and so I feel I can be completely honest about my true thoughts and feelings. Everyone in my family, my husband and even my friends have noticed the improvements in my mood, and work has certainly been more enjoyable too. I cannot thank Karen enough for the changes that have occurred, and although I still feel the need to see her, I know that it will not be forever as I have the key to healing is within me. She has also helped with my sleep, my panic attacks have stopped altogether, and I am now making time to enjoy life, instead of being caught up ” in my head” after all these years. Although still difficult, I am learning to have strong boundaries with people who are a negative influence on my life, including close family which has always been a challenge. I cannot thank Karen enough for the help she has given me. I guess the biggest lesson I have learnt from her is that life is forever challenging me. However, it is within my power to be able to deal with it. Discovering how to love myself has been an amazing journey, as have had 42 years of not doing so and I think really the key to healing. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough, to anyone out there who is willing to be brave enough to not just ‘ get by day to day,” but to choose happiness instead. Surely everyone deserves that!
