Hypnotherapy for Children and Young People

Of course, we’re not supposed to have favourites but I must admit I absolutely love working with children and young people (CYP).

Why? A couple of reasons, I love their energy and quickness to understand how their brains work and how hypnotherapy helps and I also feel very passionately that in today’s times it is all too easy for them to feel overwhelmed, anxious and stressed be that from exam anxiety, bullying, social media pressures, eating issues or anything else. I'm seeing a lot of emetophobia in this age group at the moment too, which often correlates highly to underlying anxiety.

When they understand why they feel this way and that it is in their power to make positive changes, we are able to work together to make changes to help them feel happier & calmer, more in control and confident, cope better and develop a more positive and resilient mindset. And just as importantly, I help them identify what works (we are all different of course) in terms of developing coping strategies and tools to manage their mental health.

The mental health picture for CYP is challenging right now:

3 in 4 mental illnesses start before the age of 18
Over 70% of young people are not receiving treatment
Since Covid we also know that there are more children suffering with MH problems (10% in the 5-10 age group alone) and that 36% of 16-24 year olds feel negative about their future.

They’ve had a really tough time during this pandemic so this is not surprising.

Early intervention helps massively, if you’d like to find out more about how I work and how I could help , please get in touch to arrange a free chat.

It may be useful to know that I can work alongside other health professionals or as a standalone therapist. Please also find below a list of useful organisations providing help and support:
