Children & Young People
I am certified in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy for children and teens, as well as adults. Working with children is a hugely rewarding area for me and is one of the reasons I chose to train in hypnotherapy.
Each session working with a child is different and always takes place in an informal setting. I utilise the child's personal interests throughout the sessions to ensure an engaging and relaxed environment. Through play and imagination we create a wonderful environment for the child to feel comfortable and see "magical" change. Techniques such as relaxation, play, media, art and storytelling allows the child to express themselves in their own way.
I require a parent or guardian to be present in the room with all children under 16 years of age. I also liaise with caregivers, with the child's permission, in between sessions to monitor and review progress.
