Meet Kym
I didn’t choose this work by accident.
For years, I lived with long-term digestive issues, including diverticular disease. I understand what it’s like to look completely fine on the outside while managing symptoms, flare-ups, uncertainty and the constant background awareness of what your body might do next.
What changed things for me was understanding the relationship between the gut, brain and nervous system, and recognising that living with a condition does not have to mean allowing it to dictate the way you live.
As I trained in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, gut-directed hypnotherapy and gut–brain approaches, I became increasingly interested in one question:
How can we get to the pattern that is causing the problem and start changing it as efficiently as possible?
I don’t believe therapy always needs to be long, open-ended or focused on repeatedly analysing the past. My approach is structured, practical and targeted. We identify what is maintaining the problem now. Whether that is a stress response, thought loop, symptom fear, avoidance pattern or heightened gut–brain response, and work directly with it.
That philosophy is what led me to develop The Gut-Brain Centre, my structured programmes and the 5-Minute Magnet™ Method.
The programmes combine focused one-to-one work with practical tools, hypnotherapy and short targeted practices between sessions, so that the work continues beyond the therapy hour.
Today, I work with adults, children and teens experiencing IBS, gut-brain symptoms, anxiety and overthinking, both in person and online internationally.
Clients often tell me they feel different even after the first session. Not because everything disappears overnight, but because they finally understand the pattern, know what we are working on and have something practical they can begin doing straight away.
My aim is simple: understand the pattern, target what is maintaining it, and give you the tools to start changing it.

Integrated CBT approach
My therapeutic approach is an integrative mind–body method that blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy, neuroscience, and evidence-based nervous system regulation.
This allows me to work with both the mind and the body, supporting the gut–brain axis, reducing IBS symptoms, calming stress-driven patterns, and helping clients create deep, lasting change from the inside out.
A Few Things About Me
Beyond my work as a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and creator of The 5-Minute Magnet™, here’s a little about me, the person behind the practice.
☕ I love coffee, warm croissants, and slow mornings at my favourite café with my husband and son, that calm start reminds me how much balance matters in both mind and body.
⚽ I have a teenage son who’s a dedicated athlete, and you’ll find me most days on the side lines, battling the UK weather, but happily cheering him on.
🐾 I adore animals - they’ve always been an integral part of my family and remind me daily how simple joy can be.
💡 I’m endlessly curious and happiest when I’m creating, bringing ideas to life that make people feel happier with their life, capable, and free.
💛 I believe in kindness. I’m happy, friendly, and fiercely loyal and I’ll always stand up for what’s fair and right.
My Mission
My mission is to make gut–brain and anxiety support more focused, practical and accessible. So clients spend less time in therapy and more time getting back to their life. Helping people understand what is driving their symptoms and giving them clear tools to begin changing the pattern.
I believe therapy doesn’t have to be long and open-ended to create meaningful change. My mission is to provide focused, structured programmes that get to what is happening now, give people practical tools they can use straight away, and teach them how to work with their mind and body rather than constantly fighting against it.
That belief led me to develop The Gut-Brain Centre, my structured programmes and the 5-Minute Magnet™ Method, bringing together Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, gut-directed hypnotherapy and targeted mind–body techniques in a clear, structured approach.
The aim is not simply to manage symptoms, but to help people feel less controlled by them. Reducing fear, changing automatic responses and rebuilding confidence in their mind and body.
I work with adults, children and teens through specialist programmes for IBS, gut–brain symptoms, anxiety and overthinking, both online internationally and in person.
