Kate (Katherine) Choppen

Hello, I am Kate Choppen, a Havening Practitioner specialising in mental health. With a Medical Diploma in Hypnotherapy, a BA hons degree in Occupational Therapy and 16 years' experience working in the NHS, I have established links locally with GPs and mental health services, offering an alternative approach and perspective to mental health and recovery.  

I pride myself on my ability to offer and blend different therapy techniques (across hypnotherapy, havening, occupational therapy, mindfulness, EMDR with hypnosis) to tailor your therapy journey and meet your specific needs and goals. I instantly fell in love with Havening as it offers a flexible yet truly client-centred, neuro-science based approach. In my experience, Havening offers a kind yet responsive technique to use when working with sensitive issues, anxieties or lived experiences whilst generating effective and profound change. Whilst we can't change events that occur in our lives, we can change our response and perspective of the event. Equally, with support, we can change our thoughts and feelings towards ourselves, situations and others by working through the underlying emotions and patterns that have held us stuck or have become an unwanted focus of our energy and attention. 

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Complimentary and Healthcare Council (CNHC). You can find me online or in person at Black Dog Therapy (.com) in Market Bosworth, on the Leicestershire-Warwickshire border.
