CHILDREN
Children respond really well to hypnotherapy because they are accustomed to frequent day dreaming and using their imagination. Younger children respond especially well to story telling and older children to using their imagination in guided visualisation.
Sessions vary according to the character and age of the child, and the nature of the problem. They tend to be a little shorter for young children (aged 7-11), perhaps 40-50 minutes. I will often give the child a short recording of the hypnosis and "homework" to listen to the recording.
Parents are welcome to sit in on the whole session, or part of the session, but should be aware that the focus will be very much on the child. Parents are, of course, then welcome to speak to me directly.

Parents say:
"She has fallen asleep on her own with your recording since we saw you."
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the session. He is noticeably happier and less anxious and also finding to much easier to get to sleep. It really has made a huge difference."
"You must be a magician, he is so much happier "

Children say:
"Thank you for making me feel happier."
"I held a spider with my sister. It tickled me but I didn't mind."
"I did my special breathing, rubbed my fingers together like you showed me, and I just got up and sang in front of my whole class."
"I don't say that "I don't want to go to school" because I am okay with going now. I do still like coming home though."
