About Me

Compassionate Support, Rooted in Experience

It’s not about what’s holding you back – it’s about what’s possible. 
Together, we focus on solutions to help you move forward.

Hi, I’m Carol – a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with advanced training and a Masters in Hypnotherapy, as well as a Mindfulness Teacher, Menopause Coach, and Wellbeing Life Coach based in Halifax. With over 30 years’ experience in nursing, teaching, and wellbeing, I offer a safe, supportive space to help you feel calmer, more confident, and back in control.

As a Master’s-level Hypnotherapist, I specialise in helping people overcome personal challenges, break through mental blocks, and create lasting, positive change. I’m also qualified in Advanced Anxiety Management, offering proven techniques to help you find calm, regain control, and build resilience.

My own journey through anxiety, burnout, and a life-changing injury means I truly understand how it feels when life throws you off course – and how powerful it can be to find your way forward again. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, menopause, low mood, or stress, I’ll walk alongside you, one gentle step at a time.

That injury changed the way I live and work – and it’s the reason I know change is possible for you too.

My story

Finding strength through challenge, and sharing it with others.

I bring over 30 years of experience in health, education, and wellbeing. My background as a general nurse and teacher led me to become a qualified:

  • Solution Focused Hypnotherapist

  • Mindfulness Teacher

  • Wellbeing Life Coach

  • Menopause Wellness Coach

  • Corporate Wellness Coach

I also hold a Master’s in Leadership in Education and Public Services. My approach is always tailored, evidence-informed, and focused on helping you build confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.

But it’s not just my professional experience that shapes what I do – it’s my personal journey too.

There was a time when I felt completely burnt out. I reached out for support through hypnotherapy and discovered how mindset, compassion, and practical tools could help me rebuild. That moment was a turning point, and it inspired me to help others do the same.

In 2022, I achieved a lifelong dream by running the London Marathon – only to face a life-changing injury just weeks later. Overnight, everything changed. My left leg was paralysed, and I was told I might never walk again, let alone run. It was devastating.

What followed became one of the hardest – and most transformative – chapters of my life. I made a promise to myself: I will walk again.

Through months of rehabilitation, mindfulness practice, mindset work, and the incredible support of my medical team, friends, and family, I began to rebuild – not just my body, but my belief in what’s possible.

Then one day, it happened. I took a few running steps – shaky, emotional, but real. In that moment, I felt the pure joy of possibility return.

On October 5th, 2025, I crossed the finish line at the Chester Metric Marathon. That moment felt like coming full circle – the closing of a powerful journey of recovery, resilience, and growth.

Now, as a Life Coach, Mindfulness Teacher, and Hypnotherapist, my passion is helping others find their way forward – especially when life feels uncertain, stuck, or overwhelming.

If you’re ready to take the next step – even if you’re not sure where to start – I’d love to offer a free, friendly chat to explore how we can work together.

Because change always begins with one small step – and your step could be today. 💫

Why I Created Wellbeing Pathways

Blending Experience, Empathy and Evidence-Based Support

Wellbeing Pathways was born from the understanding that real change doesn’t have to come from analysing the past — it can start with one gentle, supportive step forward.

Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck, stressed or simply in need of time to reflect and recharge, I’m here to walk alongside you. I work with individuals, groups, and organisations to support emotional wellbeing, confidence, and life transitions.

Sessions are available in person at my therapy space in Elland, or online via Google Meet. I also offer talks, workshops, and tailored support for employers seeking to nurture staff wellbeing.
