Specialist Children's Hypnotherapist

I absolutely love working with children … they are a delight to work with! Hypnosis is not all about eyes closed, sleepy states. With little children it’s very much about getting them totally engrossed in their imagination, perhaps through a metaphor or fantasy … seeing, feeling and hearing themselves behaving in a completely different way.

They could be locking up their bladders at night with a big colourful key, or swinging in a hammock breathing out all their worries through the holes in the netting, or imagining their brain is like an iPad and re-programing it to concentrate in class instead of playing about and distracting other children.

The key to success lies in selecting the right approach for the personality, age and needs of each individual child. I often use the gentle, day-dreamy, relaxing state later in the session and I record this for them to listen to at home for on-going support and reinforcement.
