At A Gentle Pace Therapies, we believe that therapeutic support should never feel rushed or intimidating.

Your wellbeing deserves compassion, space, and evidence-informed care, delivered gently and at your own pace.

Founded by Kay Pace, DipHyp, DipHyp (Paediatric), MHS, MRSPH, A Gentle Pace Therapies brings together expertise in hypnotherapy, clinical aromatherapy, guided relaxation, and wellbeing-focused support to promote emotional balance and resilience.

Kay also provides specialist services for children and young people, including Drawing & Talking® therapy, delivered in a safe, trauma-informed and developmentally appropriate way.

With a professional background in education, SEND support, and family mental health, Kay has spent her career supporting children, adults, and families to restore balance in both mind and body.

She is a Registered Member of the National Hypnotherapy Society (MHS) and a Member of the Royal Society for Public Health (MRSPH).

The National Hypnotherapy Society register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), a recognised benchmark of quality across UK health and social care. This means all sessions are delivered in line with clear standards of safety, ethics, and professional practice.

Alongside her clinical practice, Kay is currently extending her training in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and specialist work with children and young people, and runs the not-for-profit organisation Family Mental Fitness North East CIC, ensuring her services continue to meet the needs of individuals and families across the lifespan.

What makes A Gentle Pace Therapies different is the combination of clinical knowledge with a gentle, human touch. Every session, whether hypnotherapy, relaxation, aromatherapy, or testing, is designed to meet you exactly where you are, and to help you feel clear, calm and connected again.
