As a fully licensed NLP4Kids and NLP4Parents therapist, I can help you with a range of issues such as Anxiety, Exam Stress, Low Confidence, Anger, School Refusal, OCD and the increasing problems that are arising in our changing world. Based in Hertfordshire, I offer NLP4Kids Child Therapy that can take place face-to-face or online. I offer a FREE Consultation session which allows you and your child to have a chat with me about your child’s needs, understand what NLP4Kids is and how I can support you and your child.

As a parent myself, I am aware of how we are living in a changing world. Being a child is more complex these days due to many different things. For example, the stress and anxiety created by the Covid pandemic and increased self-image pressures related to social media. I can provide help and support with NLP Child Therapy by providing your child with the tools and techniques to successfully navigate through these challenges.

I have personal experience with OCD and understand how utterly life-limiting and destructive it can be, not only for the sufferer but also for their families. I am privileged to give children the help and support they need to overcome OCD and also support their families and help them understand what is going on.

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]
