WORK WITH HILARY
Learn to understand yourself and overcome emotional pain with therapy that treats both your mind and body.
Reclaim a sense of calm and balance.
Hi… I’m Hilary Karakoc.
I was a Nurse with the NHS for 30+ years and after ill health retirement, went back to help during pandemic and realised how stressed my colleagues really were. I had been doing my own inner work to help in my recovery, and decided to retrain as a therapist to help people overcome and create a relationship with themselves that they actually liked… And in building that relationship help to foster better relationships with themselves/others/work/society etc
I retrained as a Therapeutic Coach… and found my love of hypnosis and a love of the mind/body connection.
I worked as a Therapist with an online programme to help women overcome their unhealthy relationship with food.
I also volunteer as a Call Handler on a Charity Lifeline dedicated to Nurses in crisis.
I mainly work with women, and would love to help you make that mind body connection to come into calmer more peaceful relationships.
My hospice experiences have taught me just how short life can be and what the most important things are.
Start the change
Improving your relationship with yourself and others
Welcome to Willow Therapeutic Coaching
Life can throw a lot at us — stress, anxiety, chronic pain, sleepless nights, or just feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Whether you're dealing with menopausal symptoms, trying to break free from addictive habits, or simply looking for more calm in your life, you're in the right place.
At Willow T.C., I offer a friendly, supportive space where you can slow down, take a breath, and start to feel more like you again. I work with a mix of practical, everyday tools and holistic techniques to help regulate your nervous system, ease both emotional and physical discomfort, and support lasting change.
You don’t have to push through it alone. Whether it's managing anxiety, improving sleep, reducing chronic pain, navigating menopause, or letting go of habits that no longer serve you — we’ll work together to find what works for you.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and always tailored to your unique needs.
Let’s take the next step together — toward balance, calm, and a better quality of life.

The first step is simple: book a free 15-minute discovery call. It’s a chance for us to connect, talk about what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit to work together.

Where do we meet?
All sessions are held online via Zoom, so you can join from the comfort of your own space. Each session is 60 minutes, and we meet on a secure, private video platform. Confidentiality and respect are at the heart of everything we do — this is your safe space to talk, explore, and heal.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a great tool that helps you create positive changes in your life.
It’s been around for thousands of years and has been used by a lot of cultures all over the world with very beneficial results.
It’s a natural state you experience everyday in situations such as when driving back from work and not being aware of how you got home, or when you are watching a movie and you are really caught up into it. It is a state of calm where you are still aware of what is going on around you.
Why Hypnotherapy?
Simple answer is… because hypnotherapy helps… and is continuously helping numerous people. It WORKS!
Hypnotherapy is the process of using hypnosis to interact with the subconscious mind in an open-reflective process to create positive change in your life.
Using hypnotherapy, you can effectively replace limiting behaviors with attitudes and actions that promote growth and success.
It's important to note that the client remains in control… a hypnotist cannot make you do anything you don’t want to do.

Therapeutic Life Coaching
If you’re looking for something completely integrated and tailored to your specific needs, 1:1 Therapeutic Coaching might be the right step for you.
Online Therapeutic Life coaching merges coaching and therapy. It focuses on the present, establishes goals for the future, and considers the past to find a path forward.
Therapeutic Life Coaching is a partnership that helps people set and reach their personal goals. I support clients in understanding themselves better, and to grow. I use different methods to boost motivation, clarify goals, and create action plans.
This process helps clients stay accountable and promotes positive changes in their personal and work lives.
NLP
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that explores the connection between neurological processes, language, and behavioural patterns.
Essentially it helps us to learn the language of our own minds…like a manual for the brain. I use this approach to help you accelerate change improving the way you think/feel/behave.
EFT
Emotional Freedom Technique
(EFT) is a bit like acupuncture …without the needles! EFT involves tapping on specific meridian points of the body, while focusing on emotional issues or physical pain. The technique aims to balance the body's energy system.
EFT helps individuals address and release emotional distress, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. It is often used for various issues, including trauma, phobias, and chronic pain.
