Hypnotherapy for weight loss, without feeling deprived.
If diets haven’t stuck, it’s often because the reasons we eat aren’t just about food. I’m Karyn, a clinical hypnotherapist in County Durham and a former NHS mental health specialist.

Weight loss hypnotherapy
Working on your relationship with food, not another diet.
Rather than counting and cutting, we look at why you eat the way you do: the habits, the feelings and the old beliefs behind them. Then we use hypnotherapy to help you change them, in a way that feels manageable.
People often come to me about:
- Comfort eating, eating your feelings
- Portion sizes and eating too much
- “I need to clear my plate”
My five-session programme is £340, five sessions for the price of four. Single sessions are £85. We start with a free 30-minute consultation, so you know what to expect before you commit to anything.

Who you’ll be working with
A clinician first, with years in NHS mental health.
I'm Karyn Bowering, a clinical hypnotherapist based in County Durham. Before Work Your Potential, I spent many years working in the NHS as a mental health specialist.
I'm registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and the General Hypnotherapy Register, and I hold a BSc (Hons) and an Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy. Every plan is built around the person in front of me, not a script.

Questions
What people ask before they book.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on you, and we’ll talk about it in your free consultation. Most people working on weight and eating choose the five-session programme (£340), five sessions for the price of four.
Is this a diet plan?
No. Hypnotherapy here is about your relationship with food: why you eat when you’re not hungry, portion sizes and old habits. It isn’t a diet or meal plan.
What happens in the free consultation?
It's a relaxed 30-minute chat, by phone or face to face if you prefer. You tell me what's going on, I explain how hypnotherapy works and what a plan for you might look like, and you decide if it feels right. There's no obligation.
Who will I be working with?
Me, Karyn Bowering. I'm HCPC registered, GHR registered and a former NHS mental health specialist, and I see every client myself.
Do you work with teenagers?
Yes. I work with adults, teenagers and children, and I have a dedicated service for pre-teens and teenagers.
Can I have sessions online?
EMDR therapy is available in person and online. For hypnotherapy, ask in your free consultation and we'll talk through what works best for you.
What if I need to cancel?
Please give at least two working days' notice so the session isn't charged.
