• Face to Face • Online

Based in Worcestershire, I offer NLP child therapy in this area and also am accessible from Hereford, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury.

I offer a free consultation, giving you and your child the opportunity to have a chat, understand what’s happening and make sure you’re entirely comfortable with how I can support you. Whether that’s managing anxieties, stress, phobias, low self-esteem and confidence issues, my work with children includes teaching them techniques that they can use to help them when they need some extra support.

Working as a teacher for over 10 years has given me a huge amount of experience of working and communicating with children. I am passionate about making a difference in their lives and to their wellbeing. I also have experience of working with children with a range of special educational needs, such as ADHD, autism and dyslexia. Children face many challenges in their lives, including changes at home/living situation, changing schools, bullying, peer pressure, separation anxiety – to name but a few. The tools I can provide your child with, will give them a support mechanism that they can use whenever they need to, providing life-long learnings they can access, no matter what future experiences they may have.

One of the things that drew me to NLP, is how it focusses on the positive and looks forward towards the desired outcome. We can’t change what might have happened in the past, but we can change the way we think about it, and therefore feel about it, creating a more positive outlook as we move through life. I love helping children and in fact, people of all ages, to understand that changing their way of thinking, can change the way they feel. Your child can live a happy and positive life, and I can help get them on that path.

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]
