How I Help Children & Teens
Anxiety and stress about school or social situations
Exam nerves and performance pressure
Sleep problems and overthinking at night
Confidence issues and low self-esteem
Phobias such as needles, flying, or animals
Habits such as nail biting or comfort eating
Sessions are gentle and practical. Children don’t need to “perform” or visualise perfectly — just relax, listen, and let the process support them.
Children & Teens Hypnotherapy(Ages 10+)
Helping young people feel calmer, stronger, and more confident
Growing up today isn’t easy. From school pressure and social media, to anxiety, low confidence, and sleep struggles — children and teenagers often carry more stress than adults realise.
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, safe way to help them cope, reset, and thrive. I work with young people aged 10 and above, always tailoring sessions to their age, personality, and individual needs.

Fully DBS checked
Accredited with leading professional bodies
Experienced in working with children and teens in a respectful, age-appropriate way
How Sessions Work
online via Zoom or Teams

I provide simple techniques children can use between sessions — at school or at home.
Many young people notice improvements quickly — often within just a few sessions.
How Hypnotherapy Helps Children & Teens
Children have powerful imaginations, which makes them especially responsive to hypnotherapy. Sessions use positive suggestions and simple relaxation techniques to help them feel calmer, stronger, and more in control.
Over time, children often:
Feel less anxious or worried
Gain more confidence in themselves
Sleep better and manage stress
Overcome fears and phobias
Develop resilience they carry into everyday life
