Hypnotherapy for Children
I am a fully qualified child hypnotherapist and can help your child, as well as your family, navigate stress, trauma, phobias, habits, and other common challenges.
How I can help
As a certified Kids Matters® Practitioner, I specialise in helping children aged six and up navigate challenges in a supportive, family-centred environment. Whether it's overcoming fears or boosting confidence, my approach is tailored to meet your child’s unique needs.
Child-centered approach
Working with children is not the same as working with adults. With shorter attention spans, children benefit from interactive, engaging sessions that feel more like play than therapy. I use therapeutic games, metaphors, storytelling, and even characters from their favourite shows or games to create a comfortable, relatable environment.
How is child hypnotherapy different?
Focusing on the problem can sometimes make children feel stuck or overwhelmed. Instead, I use Solution-Focused Therapy, integrating techniques from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Mindfulness. These methods are woven together to create a gentle, affirming experience that taps into a child’s natural suggestibility and receptiveness to positive reinforcement.
The magic of hypnosis for kids
Children naturally enter states of imagination and flow throughout the day, making hypnosis a familiar and effortless process for them. Sessions are designed to be fun, relaxing, and subtly transformative, often feeling like a gentle daydream or playful exploration. Your child might not even realise they’re in a hypnotic state as we tap into their inner strengths and resources.
