Karin Christensen D. Hyp

I immigrated to New Zealand from the UK in 2009 and settled in New Plymouth in 2010. My early experience is in retail, sales and marketing but I changed direction and trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Reiki healing during a period of active self development in 2006-2008. I have run my self employed practice as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Healing Practitioner in New Plymouth since 2010, and have also added Mediumship/Spiritual Readings to my list of Services as my spiritual abilities have evolved.

In addition to the above I am also a Personal Assistant to a local Clinical Psychologist. This work adds tremendously to my understanding around mental health issues and behavioural disorders in my own professional practice, as well as equipping me with invaluable practical administration skills in my own practice.

Depending on the client and their needs I may use a range of modalities in a course of treatment. I consider myself first and foremost a healer and whether I do this with healing words or healing hands - my objective remains the same: To empower a client to take control of their own life, their personal goals and their state of health - physical and mental. I approach therapy as teamwork and help clients to understand that life can be consciously created through choices made in every moment. I will talk a client though my approach and discuss the various techniques we can use to help them move forward, nothing is applied without the client’s involvement. I feel passionately that the key to positive change lies in the client taking an active involvement in the change process, and ownership of the problem to make the changes needed to attain their goals. I work with both adults and children. I love being a change facilitator and healer and it is a privilege and humbling to play a part in a client’s emotional, physical and spiritual health and personal empowerment.
