Children's Hypnotherapy
Gentle Support for Young Minds
Welcome to a safe, supportive space where children can explore calm, build confidence, and gently overcome emotional and behavioural challenges through hypnotherapy.
As a qualified hypnotherapist with experience working with children of all ages including those with additional needs such as autism, ADHD, sensory processing difficulties, and anxiety disorders I understand that every child is unique. My approach is warm, adaptive, and always guided by the individual needs of your child.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help Children
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that can support children in a variety of areas, including:
-
Anxiety and Worries
including general anxiety, separation anxiety, and social worries
-
Sleep Difficulties
trouble falling asleep, nightmares, or night waking
-
Confidence and Self-Esteem
building a positive inner voice and a sense of self-worth
-
School-Related Issues
exam stress, school refusal, or focus and attention challenges
-
Grief and Big Emotions
coping with change, loss, or overwhelming feelings
-
Pain Management
including chronic pain, tummy aches, or tension headaches
-
Support for Neurodiverse Children
tailored approaches for children with autism, ADHD, and sensory needs
My Experience with Children with Additional Needs
Having worked closely with children with a range of additional needs, I bring patience, understanding, and adaptability to every session. I know that trust is built over time and that the therapy space needs to feel safe, predictable, and even playful.
I take the time to get to know each child what makes them feel secure, what soothes them, and how they best communicate. Whether that's through words, play, movement, or quiet connection, the pace is always set by them.
Techniques I Use to Help Children Feel Calm and Confident
Every session is child-led and designed to feel positive and empowering. Some of the techniques I may use include:
-
Storytelling Hypnosis
using metaphor and guided imagery to help children access inner calm and make sense of their feelings in a way that feels safe
-
Progressive Relaxation
helping children learn to relax their bodies and calm racing thoughts through fun, simple exercises
-
Anchoring Positive Feelings
teaching children how to connect with a sense of calm or confidence when they need it most
-
Visualisation and Guided Imagery
imagining safe places, magic tools, or brave characters to help process fears and build resilience
-
Breathing and Grounding Tools
simple, engaging techniques that children can use at home or school to manage overwhelm
-
Creative and Playful Tools
drawing, movement, and storytelling can all be woven in, especially for younger children or those who prefer non-verbal expression
A Collaborative, Safe Approach
Parents and carers are always part of the process. After an initial consultation, I will create a tailored plan and discuss how we can support your child together both in session and at home. Sessions can take place in a comfortable therapy space or online, depending on what feels best for your family.
