Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis For Children
Does your child have a fear, a worry or become troubled by something for which there seems to be no apparent cause?
Does your child have an unusual habit, or behave in a strange way that seems to have no apparent explanation?
Are you just generally concerned that your child is not as happy as they otherwise could be, and wish there was something you could do about it?
If any of the above situations apply to you, and you've run out of ideas, you may be interested in a fascinating and innovative technique that has proven extremely effective in treating a wide range of children's problems, including irrational fears, bed-wetting, and 'difficult' behaviour to name but a few.
Very often, as a result of just one or two sessions of this treatment, many such problems disappear "as if by magic", leaving both child and parents feeling greatly relieved and better able to get on with life.
What is this treatment & how does it work?
It is based upon a highly effective form of hypnotherapy and simply helps the child to resolve 'inner worries', which can very often be the cause of unusual - or undesirable - behaviour.
These inner worries may sometimes seem very trivial from an adult point of view, but to the child can often seem overwhelming.
The very valuable added advantage of this approach is that the child does not even need to discuss their 'problem' if they don't want to. Which is extremely useful in cases where, for example, the child finds it difficult to talk about what he or she is going through.
Is this a new treatment?
Although not widely known about the treatment has, in fact, been around for some considerable time in various forms and is completely non-invasive, nonintrusive and entirely safe. The majority of children also find it an enjoyable, pleasant and even interesting experience as it employs a skill that all children are naturally very adept at - imagination.
(At the end of a session, it has been noted that most children open their eyes with a very big smile on their face!)
Have you helped many children in the past?
Yes. I have helped a considerable number of children over the years and greatly enjoy doing so.
Can you help children of all ages in this way?
No. I really only work in this way with children of about 7 years and upwards.
Can I stay with my child while it is taking place?
Yes, of course. In fact I request that one parent or guardian must be present throughout.
Can you really hypnotise children?
Absolutely. In fact they are brilliant at it - much better than most adults. Children generally find the state of hypnosis very natural and very pleasing. It is really no exaggeration to say, "They love it."
What actually happens? What does it entail?
In most cases the treatment initially consists of 2 sessions. In the first session I will get to know your child, introduce them to hypnosis and carry out the first stage of the treatment.
In the second session I will fine-tune and reinforce everything we did in the first session. This takes place at the parents' discretion, but usually about one month later.
The majority of children that respond well to this treatment feel benefit within the first two sessions. However, on occasion, some follow-up sessions may be required.
How long does each session last and where do they take place?
The first session lasts somewhere between 45 minutes and 1 hour, whereas follow-ups may be around 30 minutes - 1 hour.
The sessions take place in a quiet and peaceful room at my clinic in Forest Row, East Sussex (see "Directions" tab for details).
How much does it cost?
The cost is £70 per session.
A range of payment options is available to help spread the cost, if required, but no child will ever be refused treatment on financial grounds. (If you are interested but worried about money - please let me know!)
How can I be sure it will work?
Because of the very individual nature of each child's symptoms or problem, it is impossible to make any promises or guarantees with regard to individual cases.
However, once I've had a chat with you beforehand (which I always do, if possible) and have a better idea of the full situation, I will be able to give you a much better idea as to whether I feel this treatment is suitable for your child or otherwise.
What's the next step?
The next step is to get in touch so that we can have a chat to make sure that it is suitable for your child. After that you may want to think about it for a while, or discuss it with a partner, for example. Once you decide that you'd like to go ahead, just ask to make a first appointment for a child and I'll arrange one for you.
How will my child feel afterwards?
That's a difficult question to answer because it really depends so much on his/her reason for coming here. However, you may find the following interesting and useful:
Rebecca(not real name) was 11 yrs. old when her mum contacted me to help with a problem that had been growing steadily worse for some time. About a month after the first session I received the following letter from Rebecca herself.
