About Caroline Carr
Caroline's life and work has spanned areas as diverse as theatre, television, education and the criminal justice system. She spent many years running groups and one-to-one therapy sessions with a range of clients before becoming a hypnotherapist six years ago. She has run workshops in the UK and America, and in all she has over 25 years experience of helping people to move forward in their lives.
Caroline was trained personally by Valerie Austin, an internationally recognised hypnotherapist and author of five books on the subject; Larry Elman, the son of Dave Elman (1900-1967) who was recognised as a pioneer of modern hypnotherapy; Jerry Valley and Tommy Vee, the world-renowned father and son team, leading stage hypnotists and also clinical practitioners.
Caroline holds a Diploma in Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy, and is a Validated Practitioner of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council.
She says:
I’m glad to be able to tell you why I am so impressed by hypnotherapy. It is such a sensible, common-sense treatment. What could be more efficient than accessing a person’s subconscious - the place where all the information is filed away, and finding the right information to fix the problem? It’s wonderful!
I am fortunate to have been trained in a really effective technique, and also to have the benefit of having worked with other related therapies, for example, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).
My experience has led me to believe that if many people who are unhappy or uncomfortable about some aspect of their lives had good hypnotherapy to help them, they would be likely to feel lasting relief quite quickly.
Caroline has experience of living with a partner who was depressed, and also has personal experience of an anxiety disorder herself, albeit many years ago. As depression and anxiety impact upon the lives of so many people, she believes passionately that everyone would benefit from knowing something about these issues, and often speaks about this to various groups.
Caroline contributes frequently to the media. She is regularly asked for advice about depression, anxiety and confidence issues, and has been interviewed by many newspapers, magazines, specialist health publications and numerous BBC Local radio shows. She has also written features for a range of publications and magazines, including SHE, and the Sunday Express, and various specialist health publications. In the past she has been Agony Aunt for A Single Step, the magazine of the Depression Alliance, and also for The British Journal of Healthcare Assistants.
