Hi, I’m Ami! I offer face to face and online sessions to both children and teenagers in Swindon, Wiltshire and via Zoom, helping to overcome various challenges, such as, anxiety, low-confidence, fears and phobias and communication barriers.
Prior to working as a licensed NLP4KIDS practitioner I have worked in many childcare settings, from owning and running a children’s day care to working within hospitals as a play specialist and supporting looked after children within a fostering agency. During these roles I have brought up my son as a single parent and completed degrees in Play Specialism and Integrated Working with Children and Families.
As someone who has experienced NLP myself, I can see the positive difference it can make in providing the tools and techniques needed to be the best version of yourself! I want to help support your child and your family to overcome the issues that are being faced.
With life throwing us unpredictable twist and turns and the challenges of the recent pandemic, children are becoming increasingly more anxious and developing mental health, emotional and behavioural challenges. During my sessions I will spend time building rapport and getting to further understand your child’s needs. I will provide highly effective tools and techniques needed to overcome negative behaviours and help take back the control that may have been lost.
Book your FREE, no obligation consultation where we can explore how I can help and if I’m the right person for you and your child.
[Read Less]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]

“My daughter has been struggling with separation anxiety since the beginning of this year. With Ami’s care and support, she has gone from not being able to walk into school, to staying away from home at friends’ houses, going to school happily and going for play dates. Her confidence has grown and, more importantly, she has gained an understanding of her worries and emotions with the help of Ami and her personalised techniques. Ami has also given our daughter a safe space to talk, which has been of huge support. I will definitely be recommending Ami. Thank you Ami

“Ami has given amazing support to my son who suffered from anxiety centred around school. She spent time building up a rapport and teaching him strategies to use to overcome his difficulties. She has a lovely caring nature and really took time to show understanding towards his struggles. Highly recommended for others facing similar issues.”
“I took my daughter to Ami because she was suffering with anxiety and finding it difficult to deal with change.
With her start at secondary school approaching I honestly didn’t know how she would be able to cope.
After a small number of sessions with Ami the change in my child is utterly amazing.
Ami is fantastically bright and so much fun she really connects with you and your child. I can’t rate her highly enough”
