Hypnotherapy for Children & Teens
It’s not easy being a parent. And we all want our children to be happy & settled. So let’s talk.
What is Hypnotherapy for children?
Hypnotherapy for children is a little different. After all, children aren’t mini adults.
A Hypnotherapy session with an adult consists of an easily identified combination of solution focused therapy & formal hypnosis.
And this combination works so well – that we use it with children as well.
But it is age specific.
Children usually respond to Hypnotherapy faster than adults. And because children are like sponges, solution focused therapy is a particularly positive route forwards.
Parent’s typically seek help for their child’s fear, phobia, sleep or other anxiety based issue.
Some parents/guardians like to start with a session just for themselves. You know your child best.
So learning how to best support your child is a good place to start.

Hypnotherapy for children under 8
Younger children relax differently to adults. Rather than using formal hypnosis, children are more easily drawn into a waking trance/ hypnosis with conversation and practical exercises. Very young children just need to hear a familiar rhyme.
And it’s important that you and your child have a shared goal.
Hypnotherapy for under 8s.
Hypnotherapy for younger children is very different, and everyone is different, so please don’t assume that you have to bring your child.
In many cases I can support you, the parent and teach you therapeutic processes that you can use at home to help your child.
In person, or via Zoom, a parent or guardian must be present during each session.
Afterall, you are the expert in your child and a valuable part of wonderful change.
Hypnotherapy for Teens
It’s not easy being a teenager. And life has so many more pressures than it used to. So again, clinical hypnotherapy is a positive step forward.
Hypnotherapy for teens utilises a mix of fun with solution focused conversation and the introduction of formal hypnosis. I find that children from 14 years up enjoy hypnosis as deeply as their parents and even some 12 year olds enjoy deeply relaxing and switching off too!
A parent/guardian needs to be present during sessions for under 16s.
