Are you looking for specialist children's hypnotherapy in Putney and Wandsworth? Helping children and young adults believe in themselves and achieve their full potential is something that we are passionate about.

All kids, at some point, will have a fear, a worry or become troubled by something for which we can't always understand as parents. When it's our own child, no matter what age, the only concern is to make them feel better, happier, and back in control. Sometimes a child can develop a habit, thought pattern, or behave in a different way that seems to have no apparent reason, which leaves you feeling helpless in how to help them. There is something you can do about it.

Many problems are resolved in just one or two sessions, leaving both child and parents feeling greatly relieved and able to get on with life. The key is teaching them techniques on how to deal with their situation and give them back control. We use highly effective forms of hypnotherapy and confidence building techniques which simply helps the child to resolve ‘inner worries’. These inner worries may sometimes seem very trivial from an adult point of view, but to the child, it can often seem overwhelming. The same applies to young adults.

The added advantage of hypnotherapy is that a child does not even need to discuss their ‘problem’ if they don't want to. This is extremely useful in cases where, for example, the child finds it difficult to talk about what he or she is going through or can't confide in their parents. Hypnotherapy is completely non-intrusive and entirely safe. The majority of children find it an enjoyable, pleasant and even interesting experience as it employs a skill that all children are naturally very good at — imagination and role play. Children are brilliant clients as they have no pre-conceived doubts and find hypnosis is a natural, comfortable state.

We greatly enjoy being able to give tools and techniques to children, who can use them for the rest of their lives. Each session lasts somewhere between 45 minutes - 1 hour. Please call so we can discuss your child's situation and we can have a better idea of how to help.

Both therapists have children and can relate to the parent's and the child's concerns. The key for working with the children is they are the main clients. Parents need to understand our focus is on understanding your child's perspective and taking under consideration your concerns.

An 11 year old girl was beginning to have anxiety attacks when taking her music exams and could not perform as well as she was capable. We focused first on erasing the bad memories, visualising how she wanted to see herself perform, and learning techniques to control her and stop her anxiety feelings from taking over. Then we reinforced her rehearsal and confidence in the hypnotherapy session.

A 7 year old boy developed a fear of flying after a very turbulent flight. He was worried he wouldn't be able to fly again. We changed his perception of what happened on the flight, then we talked about his superheroes and what they would have done, and he came up with a few of his own empowering ideas for what he could do next time. We took him through a bad flight seeing him use his new tools to control his fear. In the hypnotherapy session, we reinforced his “powers” and confidence. I saw him 4 years later and he's still flying.
