Children’s Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy with Children

Can hypnosis and hypnotherapy be used with children and will children respond well to this form of therapy?


Yes it can. As children experiencing hypnotherapy will utilise their imagination. And drift off into their own inner world.  They may well conjure up all kinds of adventures or stories, while under hypnosis. Very much like daydreaming. Something which comes quite naturally to them.

Children experiencing hypnotherapy find it a very natural and safe process. With no adverse side effects.  Everything is done to ensure your child learns how to relax. Enabling them to maximise their ability to manage future events with confidence.

A majority of children I meet have no experience of hypnotherapy. Therefore, my aim is to ensure children understand the process of hypnotherapy. And feel happy with it. Children under sixteen will always have a parent or carer in the room during each hypnotherapy session.
