Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy for Children
I use a combination of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to help many children with primarily emotional issues: exam nerves, anxiety, fears, phobias, separation anxiety, compulsive disorders, self esteem/self confidence, anger, depression, stress and motivation. I also offer help with typical childhood habits like nail-biting and bed-wetting.
In fact, kids make great clients for hypnotherapy as they have wonderfully powerful imaginations and find the visualisation and metaphor exercises much easier than adults.
Therapy is conducted either with or without the parent present entirely in accordance with the child and parent's wishes. This type of therapy can be particularly effective as it empowers both parent and child with the confidence to work together to overcome problems in a relaxed atmosphere removing frustrations and anxieties. Parents may become very stressed and upset when their child is experiencing a problem or difficulty and it can be a very powerful experience from both parent and child to find workable solutions together.
If you have concerns with your child, please call me for a chat to work out how the most effective methods can be found to relieve the problem.
