History
Established in 2009.
Karen Bannister established Parkside Therapy after noticing how badly one of her driving school pupils was affected by nerves during her driving test. As Karen was always looking for new ways to improve the service she offered her clients, she decided to investigate hypnotherapy and neuro linguistic programming so that her driving school could offer something different to the other schools in the area - and of course benefit her clients. Karen decided to study for her Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (verified by the National Council for Hypnotherapy in the UK) with an established training body, and qualified early in 2009.
Clients are seen by appointment at her clinic at the ChiroFirst chiropractic business in Millhouses.
