Hi, I’m Emma, a licensed Child Therapist, and NLP Practitioner based in Hampshire.

I am passionate about providing family therapy for children, young people, and adults with a safe, trusting relationship, where I can support them to become the best they can be.

Over recent years many young people have developed struggles with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and social dysfunction. Almost every family has been affected by the dramatic rise in child and teen mental ill health, some say caused by months away from routine, and being locked down together, while others say social media is to blame. Whatever may be your cause, I want to be part of the resolution.

I knew young people and families were where I needed to focus my attention, and believe EVERY child should be armed with the tools to help them understand their mind, have self-belief, be motivated to attack those exams head-on with confidence, and most of all….. love themselves.

I will help you and your child to develop a positive mindset, improved confidence, and a strong mental attitude.

From being a peer counsellor at school, to a welfare manager in many worldwide destinations I began studying, starting with Coaching and Mentoring, Mental Health First Aid, and Counselling, these led me to NLP.

I now specialise in NLP for children, parents, and teachers. Committed to improving parent-child communication, reducing stalemate situations and improving emotional understanding.

My journey with NLP has helped me understand myself, my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I have been lucky enough to have experienced the life-changing benefits of NLP and this is something I want to share with others.

How do you know I’m for you?

It’s so important to know that I am the right fit for your needs, therefore all initial online consultations are free and entirely without obligation giving you and your child the opportunity to virtually meet me before making any financial commitment.

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 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 child�s 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]
