Children are very responsive to hypnotherapy as they have such active imaginations and are open to the possibility of positive change.

I help children overcome a variety of problems, including:

General behavioral problems at home or at school

Nail biting

lose of concentration

nervousness and fears

sleeping problems

bed wetting

lacking self-confidence

I've also been asked to help children with dyslexia and dyspraxia so they can feel more confident and cope with their learning problems in a more productive way.

The sessions involve talking to the child and finding out about the problem, how it affects them and most importantly, find out how they would like to behave, feel and react. The sessions are orientated around the child and most of the input comes from them rather than the parent.

What does it cost?
Sessions last about one hour or less depending on the child’s concentration levels. They cost £90. Depending on the frequency of the problem, three to six sessions are usually required.

Usually, a parent will sit in on the session but often teenagers prefer to come in on their own and, as long as the parents agree, that’s fine. However, the parents or guardian must sign a consent form for any child under the age of 16.

You can pay by cheque or cash. Unfortunately, credit-card facilities are not available.

Please give 24 hours' notice if you have to cancel an appointment, otherwise a fee will be charged.

Real Success

Joe was nine, and he was being disruptive at home and getting into trouble at school. He was able to talk about how this made him feel and the frustrations he was suffering. In his own words, he wanted to ‘make things better and stop getting so angry’. He was very proud of the house points he received after the first session and his mother said that although they’rd had a couple of fights, in general the household was much calmer. Over the following sessions, Joe’s behavior improved and his confidence increased. After the last session, his mother said he seemed like a completely different boy - so much happier. She reassured him that he could come back if he needed to. It’s now two years on and he hasn't needed to return.
