These days children seem to be suffering more and more from stress and anxiety in it's various forms.  Perhaps it may be that we, as parents and adults, are more aware of the problems facing them, or we talk and interact more with them than previous generations. Whatever the reason, there is more and more awareness of the need to intervene in childhood problems and give them a sound basis for going forward in the world, secure and confident within themselves. 

Hypnotherapy is very effective with children, and they are extremely receptive to being helped with it, from the ages of 7-15.  We all know how children use their wonderful imaginations. Nothing is impossible or strange to them and so it is easy to engage them into the hypnotic world of storytelling and imagery, which everyones subconscious minds thrive on.

Hypnotherapy relies on the ability to imagine and visualise acting or thinking differently.  This is something children can do very easily. I use tools such as stories, visualisation and role play to help your child move towards the changes they want.


Some of the conditions, specific to children, that I can help them with include:
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Separation Anxiety
  • Habit and tic disorders  (including thumb-sucking/urge to blink/clear throat/embarrassment in dealing with these)
  • Hair-pulling  ( Trichotillomania )
  • Bed-wetting  ( Nocturnal enuresis )
  • Emotonal Problems and its impact on the Bowel ( Encopresis )
  • Sleeping difficulties
  • Being Bullied
  • Anger and Behaviour problems
  • Food issues: such as swallowing, chewing, colours, types, quantities of foods
  • Self-Esteem, Ego and Confidence building
  • Fears and phobias
  • Exam nerves
​Naturally it's important I explain my approach fully with you, the parent,  before treatment begins but most importantly is that you support and give commitment to it before we commence.  Having confidence that I am suitable to work with children is also important. I am happy to be able to assure you that I hold a disclosure certificate from Disclosure Scotland.  However,  chat about the issues or concerns you, and your child have, is always the first step - and there will be no pressure or obligation put upon you, so please feel free to give me a ring, text or email.
