As a licensed NLP4Kids and NLP4Parents Therapist, I am delighted to offer Therapy sessions in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas for children and teenagers suffering from any mental health, emotional and behavioural challenges, no matter how big or small.

I have over 20 years of experience in this field. Initially, as a Paediatric Nurse Therapist working in a CAMHS inpatient service for 8 years and in more recent years in educational settings supporting children and families and implementing whole school policies and strategies to promote mental health and wellbeing within schools.

As a Mum to 2 boys, I know all too well that life as a parent has its ups and downs and there are times when we could all do with some support for ourselves and our children to get us back on the right track and making the most of life again.

I am passionate about helping children and families to improve their own lives using the highly effective NLP techniques that I can teach them.

Using child-friendly NLP Therapy Techniques, I will spend time understanding how your child is feeling, the underlying causes and triggers of their problems and help them develop tools and strategies to overcome their struggles. Both yourself and your child will recognise the positive changes that learning these techniques have on family life.

Some of the areas NLP can help with (but not limited to) are: anxiety; depression; anger; low self esteem; fears and phobias; exam stress; lack of motivation; bullying and eating disorders.

Whatever the issue, please do contact me to arrange a free 45 minute consultation to discuss if NLP Therapy can help you meet the challenges that you or your child are facing.

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]
