Hypnotherapy for 7+

As someone who was bullied at school for being “different”, I became what is known today as a school refuser. School was not a happy place for me and my school days certainly weren’t the happiest days of my life as I was always being told they should be…

Unfortunately it is a tale as old as time and not only do these problems persist for children and teenagers today, but things seem to be marching backwards instead of forwards.

When I trained and qualified as a solution focused hypnotherapist I was pretty adamant that I would only be working with adults but I have changed my mind. The knowledge and resources that I now have access to would have changed everything for the younger me and I feel passionately about helping children and young adults, including those with challenging behaviour, to have a better understanding of how we can suffer in the ways that we do and most importantly, what we can do about it. Not only does this knowledge reassure our young people that there is nothing ‘wrong’ with them but it can also give a level of understanding towards those who may be holding them back. I have worked successfully with many adults now and it occurred to me that the sooner anxiety, low mood, anger, poor sleep, lack of confidence (and more) is dealt with, the better.

I use a solution focused approach which means that there will never be any probing, heavy questions or pressure placed on anyone who comes to see me.

This is a gentle therapy and hypnosis itself reduces anxiety, this is done very simply through relaxation and visualisation, encouraging a shift in perspective.

I am DBS approved and fully insured.
