I help them to create a positive outlook and teach long-lasting practical skills and techniques that children can use to help them[…]

NLP can effect changes very quickly, unlike other psychological services such as counselling, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and DBT. Typically 4-8 sessions (weekly or fortnightly) can make a long-term change providing the young person is willing and more importantly, wanting to feel better.

I was always interested in the concepts of NLP from my late teens and found them very useful to try on myself. NLP is an approach which is very solution-focused and is particularly ideal for children – who all love to be creative and are open to learning new things.

Having personally suffered with ADHD, Dyslexia and Anxiety I well remember the nightmare that school represented to me.

All this ‘experience’ has given me a lot of skills with children who face a myriad of potential challenges in today’s world, at a time when there is a desperate shortage of professional and therapeutic services and NHS long waiting lists that can exceed two years.

I offer a free consultation to give me a chance to get to know your child and you to make sure we are comfortable with each other and to explain some of the basic ideas of NLP and how it can help.

My therapy room is situated in a peaceful and relaxing setting and is specifically designed to put your child at ease.

Children are such fun to work with and I believe that I can make a difference in their lives. I aim to help all children to love life, to embrace the challenges it brings and to recognise life as a privilege to be enjoyed as much as possible!

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]
