CHILDREN

Children grow and develop in different stages and at different rates.

From an early age, life becomes a constant learning process with the child having to try to make sense of the many and varied stimuli they experience on an almost constant basis.

All children at some time in their childhood, will experience confusing upsetting emotions which they may struggle to cope with. Some will develop really ingenious ways to make themselves feel better at that particular moment. For Example, a child being bullied will fake illness to avoid going to school.

However, if the problem does not go away and begins to interfere with their day to day life, it is then that something needs to be done to help them to overcome it.

Hypnotherapy is a very safe, effective treatment for many issues which may be holding the child back from achieving what they want to in their day to day lives both at home and/ or at school.

All children under 16 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian as it is important to gain a view on the problem from the parents perspective as well as the child’s.

Initially however, I would wish to find out what the problem is from the child’s point of view and how they feel it is affecting them. I would also wish to find out how they would like to feel or act instead. It is up to the parent and the child to decide if the parent remains with the child whilst hypnotherapy treatment is received.

As children under 12 have very vivid imaginations, stories or meeting a character from their favourite television programme may be used to help to resolve the issue.

Older children will have their treatment tailored accordingly to suit them. In this way the best possible results will be achieved.
