My Story & Philosophy

I'm Kirsty, the face behind Ahimsa Therapies. My first experience with hypnotherapy was in 2022, as a client seeking to stop smoking. In 2023, after learning that I was being made redundant from my corporate job of 18 years, I decided to retrain as a hypnotherapist. I've always wanted to make a difference in the world and feel incredibly grateful that this new career allows me to do just that.

I trained with Debbie Waller at Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Training, a course accredited by several national and international professional organisations. I also hold certificates in NLP, Counselling Skills, and Suicide Prevention. I am a verified member of the Association for Professional Hypnosis & Psychotherapy and the National Register of Psychotherapists & Counsellors.

Ahimsa is an ancient principle of respect for all living things and perfectly represents my values of compassion, empathy, and respect.

I believe that each and every one of us holds incredible potential, and that our subconscious minds can help us unlock it. My therapeutic approach combines curiosity, kindness, and a genuine desire for my clients to live happier, healthier lives.
