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.

Although not widely known about the treatment has, in fact, been around for some considerable time in various forms and is completely non-invasive, non-intrusive 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!)

Yes. I have helped a considerable number of children over the years and greatly enjoy doing so.

No. I really only work in this way with children of about 7 years and upwards.

Yes, of course. In fact I request that for all children under the age of 15, one parent or guardian must be present throughout.

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.”

In most cases the Hypnosis For Children 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 is usually about week or two weeks 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.

The first session lasts somewhere between 45 minutes – 1 hour, whereas follow-ups may be around 30 minutes – 1 hour. The sessions take place in a quiet and peaceful room within my practice in Harley Street, Central London.

Fees are detailed here. 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!)

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, if your child’s problem is caused by a personal, emotional or psychological issue, using Hypnosis (Hypnotherapy) for Children, there is a very high probability of a good, successful outcome.

That’s a difficult question to answer because it really depends so much on his/her reason for coming here. Most children leave feeling a little sleepy but very relaxed.
