I work with a variety of clients, though creative & highly sensitive people often find me. I work in an intuitve and neuroscience-based way; brain education is part of my work. Empaths who've experienced trauma or adverse conditions often feel responsible for not 'figuring out their problems' especially when they couldn't possibly have figured them out (as children, adolescents, or inside abusive relationships or religions). If you struggle with these or other internal entanglements and challenges, I'd be honoured to show you clinically sound ways to help you ways to change, untangle brain-body-spirit, and find your path forward.
I approach this work intuitively & creatively. There is no one else like you, I already know that. And there is no one else like me. I use a variety of somatic techniques, including OEI (Observed Experiential Integration for trauma and anxiety). It's very powerful. I also offer an accelerated version of therapy through long-session hypnotherapy (3 hours).
One of my hypnotherapy mentors (Michael Yapko) says that the key to personal change is to dissociate from harmful patterns and to associate to new healthy ones that provide more possibilities & flexibility. The good news is that our brains (and bodies/spirits) WANT to do this; we're made to feel better. And the journey is much easier with a wise guide.

The Olive Grove Retreat
The Olive Grove Retreat is an experiential one-week and two-week long retreat in Eresos, Lesvos, Greece. One retreat (October) is writing-focused. The May retreat centres on creative healing in the olive grove. Together we connect with the energy, power and myths of the olive tree AND learn how to use the neuroscience-based work of OEI, self-hypnosis, and creative visualization. These practices, and the Greek land-sea-and skyscapes, help us toward transformation, integration, deeper peace, joy. To learn more, visit my website www.karenconnelly.ca
