A truly transformative experience

Working with Karen through the Rise N Shine Therapy process was a truly transformative experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking personal development or simply wanting to understand themselves on a deeper level.

Karen’s ability to create a safe, welcoming space made it easy for me to open up and explore significant events — some of which I hadn’t even realised were influencing my behaviours and life as a whole.

By the end of the programme, I felt more empowered, more in control, and I continue to benefit from the practical tools and insights I gained during our sessions.

I came away feeling much more in control

Having recently completed a programme with Karen, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to develop themselves or gain a deeper understanding of what makes you tick.

Karen created a very safe environment that helped me to relax and share important information — including events I hadn’t realised had played such a big part in my behaviours and life in general.

I came away from the process feeling much more in control and continue to use the tools I gained during the sessions.

Struggling to regulate

When I started with Karen, I was at a very low point. I was struggling to regulate emotions and didn’t understand the root of my stress. I was struggling to sleep and was constantly angry, just totally lost. I needed help figuring everything out and a way of catching my breath.

Karen gave me a comfortable environment to open up, helped me understand my emotions and gave me hope at a dark time. We worked on a mantra that I still stick by, affirmations to reinforce focus and helped me understand how to let go of problems outwith my control

I cannot thank Karen at RiseNShine enough for helping me get back on track.

I am now more in touch with my emotions and I finally feel like I am back in control. The service at RiseNShine has been incredible. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone experiencing a tough time or just needing a helping hand.
