About Sorava Minds
A mother and daughter approach to positive change
Sorava Minds is a mother and daughter Solution Focused Hypnotherapy practice founded by Karen and Gina Jones.
We created Sorava Minds from a shared belief that sometimes, when life feels difficult, having the right support can help you see a different way forward.
Our approach is warm, compassionate, and focused on possibility. We don't believe you need to have everything figured out before you begin, and we don't see you as defined by the challenges you're experiencing.
Instead, we focus on understanding where you are now, where you'd like to be, and the steps that can help you move towards a calmer, more confident future.
Why the Name Sorava Minds?
When we were creating our practice, we wanted a name that felt calm, positive, and open to possibility — something that could grow with us rather than define us by one particular area of support.
Sorava is a name we created ourselves. The beginning, “Sor”, was inspired by the idea of soaring free — moving beyond what may have been holding you back and feeling able to move forward. “Ava” was simply an addition that helped create a name that felt soft, feminine, and right for us.
Together, Sorava Minds represents what we hope our work can offer - the opportunity to understand your mind, let go of some of the things that may be holding you back, and move towards a calmer and more positive future.
Our approach
As a mother and daughter, we bring both a shared approach and our own individual experiences to our work.
We understand that everyone's circumstances are different, and there isn't one single path to feeling better or moving forward. That's why we take time to listen, understand what matters to you, and work collaboratively throughout your sessions.
Our aim is to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and never judged.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy gives us a way of working that looks towards the future rather than keeping you focused on everything that has gone wrong.
We explore what you would like to change, what is already working, and what you would like life to look and feel like instead.
Why Work With Us?
Choosing someone to support you is personal. We want you to feel comfortable, listened to, and confident that you're in a space where you can be yourself.
At Sorava Minds, we offer a warm and compassionate approach, combining professional Solution Focused Hypnotherapy training with our own experiences of life and change.
We work collaboratively with you rather than telling you what you should do. Our focus is on understanding where you are now, exploring where you'd like to be, and helping you recognise the steps that can move you towards that future.
As a mother and daughter practice, we bring different perspectives and experiences while sharing the same values: compassion, respect, understanding, and a belief in the possibility of positive change.
There's also no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions. Your initial consultation is an opportunity to meet us, ask questions, and decide whether our approach feels right for you.
Your Practitioner
At Sorava Minds, your initial consultation and ongoing sessions are with the practitioner you choose when booking. Karen and Gina both work independently within Sorava Minds, so you won't usually meet with both practitioners during your sessions.
When you make an enquiry or book an initial consultation, you'll be able to choose whether you'd like to work with Karen or Gina. You can take a look at our individual profiles to learn a little more about each of us and our areas of interest before deciding who you'd feel most comfortable with.
Once you've chosen your practitioner, they will be your main point of contact throughout your sessions, allowing you to build a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship.
There is no right or wrong choice — it's simply about finding the practitioner who feels like the right fit for you.
Karen & Gina
As a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, Karen knows firsthand how important it is for clients to feel truly heard and understood. Her approach is warm, empathetic, and entirely collaborative. Passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space, she works closely with individuals to help them gently quiet overthinking, build genuine resilience, and rediscover their confidence. Rather than dwelling on the past, Karen focuses on practical, positive steps forward so clients can start feeling more like themselves again.
Gina believes that therapy should always feel like a supportive, uplifting partnership tailored entirely to the individual. As a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, her goal is to help clients navigate life's pressures at their own pace, turning down the volume on overthinking and building lasting inner calm. She believes that clients already possess the inner strength they need to move forward—her role is to help them unlock it in a calm, reassuring, and completely pressure-free environment.
