Prior to becoming a Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner, I spent over a decade working with children in various child-care settings, ranging from Private Day Nurseries (from a Nursery Nurse level up to Nursery Manager), in Schools, Crèches, as a Nanny and for the NHS as part of the Health Visiting and Midwifery Team. I qualified as a Nursery Nurse in 1997 (NNEB) and was proud to achieve one of the best portfolios nationwide in that year as well as obtaining the Mulberry Award, presented by my college for outstanding endeavours throughout my training.
Now, in my work as a Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner and trainer, I am able to use both sets of skills. I relate to children and students in a way that empowers them and engages them with their imagination to create the subconscious developments that need to be made. For me, NLP4Kids is a result of my childcare expertise and my strategic skills in NLP and Hypnotherapy colliding! I specialise in working with children who have selective mutism (a form of anxiety disorder) and also work with those who have low confidence, separation anxiety or behavioural problems as a result of family traumas such as divorce and separation.
I am the director of NLP4Kids and trainer of the Licensed NLP4Kids Practitioners. I am also an author of ‘Stop Anxiety and Grow Confidence’ which is a book for parents and professionals.
My practice is based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire and boarders Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, meaning I am accessible to those in neighbouring areas such as North London, Watford, Berkhamsted, St Albans, Harpenden and Tring.

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]

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]
