Hypnotherapy for Children and Teenagers
If your child is having some difficulties in life that are emotional or behavioural in nature, you’ll be pleased to learn that Clinical Hypnotherapy can be very effective indeed.
Children generally find that hypnosis is easy, very natural and enjoyable. I use a wide range of tried and tested techniques that are solution focused, stimulate the imagination and help to overcome problems creatively.

Children respond fantastically well to hypnotherapy because they have such a vivid imagination and love stories. Children experience a light hypnotic relaxed state several times a day quite naturally. Maybe when they are just waking up or falling asleep, or maybe when they have become deeply absorbed in play or just daydreaming. It is during this deeply relaxed state that our subconscious mind is open and receptive to positive suggestions and problems can be overcome with creative solutions. Imagination is the gateway between the conscious and subconscious mind, this is why hypnotherapy can make such positive change for children. It utilises their natural ability to daydream.
Absolutely, It puts your mind at ease to see that the process is positive, safe, enjoyable and appropriate. The focus is on the child, although you can give valuable input especially when I ask what positive qualities your child already has to overcome their problem.
The first part of the session is a chat, gain a rapport and find out how your child would prefer to behave, feel and think.We focus on the solution instead of dwelling on the problem.
The second part is the hypnotherapy bit, the part that is similar to daydreaming. I use a technique appropriate for them. My approach will depend on the age of the child and personality; their likes and interests. Guided imagery that is suitable to them is used to overcome their issue and visualise success.They may keep their eyes open or have their eyes closed, whatever they prefer is fine by me. Positive suggestions are always given regarding confidence and self-esteem.
Recordings are provided for home use. This repetition really reinforces the therapy and creates much better long term results.

In 2019 I qualified for a Team GB cadet squad and was invited to compete internationally for the first time. I found that I couldn’t bring my standards from practice into the competitions as I got overwhelmed by the setting. Ann worked with me on focusing techniques, preparation and positive framing.
Not only have I used these techniques in my sporting life but have also applied them in schooling. I have found that much of it could also be applied to exam preparation; I have been far calmer before, during and after exams. My ability to focus for revision, put marks into perspective and be reflective has improved. During Covid19 when many people are unsettled about exam marks and future options, I have been calmer and as such able to make plans for all eventualities. Thank You.I cannot thank you enough for helping me to get control of my life and start to live it. I find it almost impossible to put into words how much my sessions with you have helped me to change my life for the better. Your ability to deal with profoundly complex issues in a safe, reassuring, non judgemental,professional yet friendly way has given me the confidence to finally work through and deal with very deep seated issues that have blighted my life until now.
To say you have changed my life for the better is not overstating how I feel. To anyone wondering if consulting Ann is 'worth a go' I would say - what are you waiting for, the start of a new life is only a phone call away.
Thank you againThank you so much for the hypnotherapy sessions. You have given me the confidence to go out there and find happiness of which I never thought I would before coming to you. The sessions were thoroughly enjoyable and have certainly changed me as a person for the better. I would recommend anyone with life, health issues etc. to pay you a visit as it has worked wonders for me. The best start to a new year I've ever had.
Thank you once again.I went along to see Ann for a four week weight management programme. I was a little apprehensive but was immediately put at ease by Ann. At all times she was professional, empathetic, supportive and very approachable. She was able to explain very clearly what she was doing and why.
18 Months later I am 1.5 stones (21 lbs) lighter, I have dropped two dress sizes by losing a staggering 34.5 inches from my bust, waist and hips. My BMI is now in the normal range. My relationship with food has changed completely, I no longer need to comfort eat, my sweet tooth has virtually disappeared, I no longer get food cravings. I am still eating all my favourite foods just much smaller quantities and I don’t even feel hungry. I have more energy and feel absolutely amazing.Get in contact for
