What is Hypnotherapy, and is it safe for children?
Hypnotherapy for children is a gentle, natural approach that uses a calm, focused state of relaxation to help the mind become more open to positive change. Think of it as guided daydreaming, something children are naturally very good at.
During a session, your child remains fully aware and in control at all times. They cannot be made to do or say anything they don't want to. Far from the "mind control" often portrayed in the media, therapeutic hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed and focused state, similar to being absorbed in a favourite story, film, or activity.
Many children respond especially well to hypnotherapy because of their natural imagination and creativity. This makes it an effective and supportive approach for children experiencing anxiety, low confidence, or emotional overwhelm.
All sessions are age-appropriate, engaging, and carefully tailored to your child's individual needs. My priority is always to create a safe, supportive space where your child feels comfortable, understood, and at ease.
Safe & Natural
No medication and no side effects. Just gentle, focused relaxation.
Your Child Stays in Control
They are always aware, always comfortable, and always able to end the session whenever they choose.
Tailored for Children
Sessions use age-appropriate stories, metaphors, and imagination rather than adult techniques.
Works Quickly
Children often experience meaningful change within just a few sessions.
Why I Do This Work
I am deeply passionate about supporting children and young people because I see, every day, the pressures they are navigating, and the impact this has on both them and their families.
As a qualified hypnotherapist, mental fitness mentor, and kickboxing coach running my own academy of over 60 children and young people, I have extensive experience supporting children's emotional wellbeing across a wide range of ages and needs. Alongside this, my role as a mother and stepmother gives me a personal understanding of the emotional weight that parents carry when their child is struggling.
I regularly work with children and young people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, confidence issues, friendship challenges, and difficulties within school. I also support those navigating family changes, neurodiversity, and the increasing pressures created by social media and modern life. Many of the young people I meet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves, and are often not receiving the support they truly need.
At the same time, I work closely with parents who are looking for support for their child but feel unsure where to turn. It is not uncommon for parents to feel worried, exhausted, and under pressure to "fix" things, especially when their child is experiencing emotional distress. My work recognises the importance of supporting both the child and the wider family with empathy and understanding.
My approach to therapy for children and young people is grounded in kindness, non-judgment, and respect. I do not believe that children need to be "fixed." Instead, I focus on helping them feel heard, understood, and safe, while building confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness in a way that feels natural and empowering.
Through a combination of therapeutic techniques and coaching, I create a supportive space where young people can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and begin to trust in themselves. Whether in a therapy setting or within my coaching environment, my aim is always to support positive mental health and long-term emotional resilience.
Ultimately, my work is about offering hope. Not just to the young person, but to the parent who may be quietly searching for help with their child's anxiety, confidence, or emotional well-being. I want families to know that support is available, and that with the right approach, meaningful and lasting change is possible.
How It Works
Every child is different, so sessions are always shaped around your child's age, personality, and individual needs.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a relaxed, unhurried conversation. Just you, your child if appropriate for their age, and me. It is a chance to talk through what is going on, ask any questions you have, and decide together whether hypnotherapy feels like the right step.
Tailored Sessions
Every child is unique, so the number of sessions will vary. Some children benefit from just a few sessions, while others may need more ongoing support. This is something we will explore together during the initial consultation, ensuring the approach feels right for your child and their needs.
Support Between Sessions
Children often receive simple, playful techniques or audio recordings to use between sessions. These help to reinforce the positive changes in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and entirely manageable at home.
Professional Standards
When it comes to your child, trust is everything. I am fully committed to the highest standards of professional and ethical practice.
Fully Insured
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance is in place for all client work.
High Ethical Standards
I work within a clear ethical framework, with your child's wellbeing at the heart of everything I do.
Professional Guidelines
All sessions follow recognised professional guidelines for working safely and responsibly with young people.

Ready to take the first step?
If you think hypnotherapy might help your child, I would love to have a gentle, no-obligation conversation to explore whether it feels like the right fit. There is no pressure at all, just a warm and honest chat where you can ask anything you need to.
