In my work with NLP4Kids, I have established programmes to help children manage their own emotional state and to become inspired and motivated by the opportunities life presents them. I teach them how to build valuable relationships, confidence, self esteem and how to eliminate troubling past events. I believe every child has the right to reach their potential and through the coaching and NLP techniques I use they can reap huge rewards for themselves, their family and those around them.
In conjunction with NLP4Kids I run workshops in schools for children, parents and or teachers. These same workshops can also be helpful for parents in or out of the school environment. In many cases one to one sessions can be held for children within the school but I also work with children on a on to one basis having been contacted directly by parents.
I can help your child with issues over a family bereavement, stressing out over exams, anxiety, phobias, trying to deal with a parental split or perhaps the arrival of a new sibling was unlikely to find resolution in the school environment. These issues often cannot be addressed by even the most caring school system through a lack of time and resources. These are the areas to name just a few in which I can help.
While my children were going through school I had various meetings and discussions with teachers over issues that came up. Like all of us I discussed many of these same issues with other parents. The secondary school teachers we met generally were hard pressed to meet curriculum demands and some children’s needs were likely to slip through the net.
As an experienced businessman I am used to identifying and finding resolution for situations of all kinds. This practical approach helps me get to the root of issues swiftly. Throughout my time in business I have frequently seen the difficulties caused by unaddressed childhood issues. Very often in the past when dealing with staff and clients alike I have had to resolve deep rooted misconceptions and challenging behaviour borne out of childhood experiences.
Most of my working life has been spent as an estate agent, running my own business since 1998. I have previously been a publican, a banker, a door to door salesman and a few other things besides.
Together with my wife, a nurse, I have two fantastic adult children, a cat (Milo) and a husky dog (Nala). We have worked and lived in Aylesbury most of our lives, my son now lives in Sydney.
I was first introduced to a limited form of NLP by Simon Edwards about 10 years ago. The insights and practical methods it provided have always fascinated me. In 2013 I met Gemma Bailey at an introductory day for her business NLP4kids and have been hooked ever since, qualifying as an NLP practitioner early in 2017. I have since become a licensed NLP4kids practitioner.

How Does Our Therapy Help Children and Young People?
We use a combination of safe and effective therapies with children and teenagers that help them learn how to control their thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Our practitioners are specialists in working with children using a form of therapy called NLP. This stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. "Neuro" relates to the brain and "linguistic" refers to language and how it is used inside the mind and out of the mouth! "Programming" describes the patterns and habits created, learnt and followed. Using NLP techniques and strategies, (which we have adapted to be fun, safe and easy for children and teenagers to use) we give young people the skills to think in new ways so that they feel in control [Read More]
We use a combination of safe and effective therapies with children and teenagers that help them learn how to control their thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Our practitioners are specialists in working with children using a form of therapy called NLP. This stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Using NLP techniques and strategies, (which we have adapted to be fun, safe and easy for children and teenagers to use) we give young people the skills to think in new ways so that they feel in control and learn to understand the world from the perspective of others as well as their own. NLP is a cognitive form of therapy, with some parallels to CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy.) Our work is effective in helping children overcome bad habits, behaviour problems, fears and self esteem problems as well as many other challenges. (See the list below for more suggestions about the types of problems we can help with.)
In addition, our practitioners may have qualifications in other specialist therapies, such as EFT/TFT (tapping techniques), Coaching, Counselling and Hypnotherapy for children.
Hypnosis is perfectly safe for children because it is a relaxed state that they already utilise when learning, watching television or doing something creative. Some children will be able to experience a deep, eyes closed relaxing trance. Young children are usually more suited to an awakened trance. This is induced when playing games, colouring or whilst other activities that our Hypnotherapy4Kids practitioners have been trained to use. Our Hypnotherapists will notice the subtle shifts in your childs levels of awareness so that they can begin to implant suggestions for change or improvement as soon as they see that an awakened trance is achieved.
The first step in helping your child is to contact a practitioner who is local to you. You can call them on the number above or complete the contact box below if you would like the practitioner to contact you. They will conduct a consultation with you, either over the phone or in person. Once they have understood the challenges your child is facing, they will invite you and your child to meet with them. If you decide to go ahead with some therapy or coaching sessions for your child, the therapist will advise you of the best course of action. Your therapist will give you feedback and advise to help you support your child and you will remain in full control of the number of sessions you book and how often. [Read Less]

“Ian has worked wonders with my 16-year-old son… he has made him feel relaxed and not ashamed of why he needs help. I would recommend him to anyone”.
“I have known Ian for years. He is an exceptional person and I think what he is doing for children is wonderful. Well done and I wish you all the very best Ian!”
“Very nice and funny, listened to what we had to say, good listener.”
“Great guy, funny, legend, he helps me, really nice and helpful, understanding, he was good.”
“He is great. Ian is an amazing person. He is awesome. He is very fun.”
“We can’t thank Ian enough for giving us our son back! Ian has built up an amazing rapport with him to help him work through issues that were causing him to behave angrily and aggressively both at home and school. Our son is now more in control of his emotions, better able to communicate his thoughts and feelings, and his behaviour is much improved all round.”
‘I just want to thank you for everything you have done to help xxxxxx. From the first encounter to the last appointment you have gone above and beyond to make xxxxxx feel comfortable and make the sessions fun.
I couldn’t recommend your services enough. When you first met xxxxxx, he couldn’t even walk into school without panicking he was doing “something wrong”, I used to spend every morning taking him into the office at school and for them to reassure him that he was (wearing/doing/bringing in) the right thing. He now goes into school on his own and doesn’t even question himself or actions!
Thank you for helping my son enjoy life and to help him manage his anxiety. Will definitely recommend and return if I need to!’
We just want to thank Ian for the help he gave us at a really difficult time. The tips and advice he gave managed to turn things around and we went for a very hostile home environment with anger and battles about everything. To a more calm and overall better quality of life for us all. And the difficulties my child was facing with managing his emotions and anger have improved massively. Thank you Ian, we would recommend your service.
The NLP techniques Ian uses offered my son a different way of looking at his anxiety. Ian offered practical methods to have a new outlook, as well as explaining how our minds work in an age-appropriate way. He was very patient with my seven-year-old son, who struggled sometimes to maintain his attention on a Zoom call.
Yet another great testimonial…’ It’s so funny xxxx said to me about an hour ago how you helped her to not be afraid of clowns anymore. Those sessions were so brilliant for her, I am so glad that you were able to help her so much.
it’s so lovely to see the long-term effects and that she is still using her techniques. Thank you so much.’
It is so satisfying to hear that you have made a difference.
‘ Ian is a lovely man, very easy to talk to and most importantly brilliant with kids, teenagers and young adults.’
