"I was fortunate enough to attend supervision sessions with Karen. The sessions provided a real opportunity to evaluate my own performance and issues with someone who understands the everyday work of a hypnotherapist. Karen was always good at provoking your own ability to reason out problems and understanding how to deliver the best you could for your client."

The student exercises further helped to compound the video descriptions.
