Hypnotherapy can be a very effective treatment for a wide range of problems in children and young people. Unlike adults, a child's imagination is much more open and suggestible which makes it easier to access the subconscious and bring about the desired change. As a result, hypnosis in children can bring about effective results very quickly.
When using hypnotherapy for children it is often not necessary to explain in detail to children about “hypnosis”. It will simply be explained being a really relaxed and quiet time in which they use their imaginations to resolve their problems. It is important that the child would like to change the problem or behaviourial issue to ensure success. Eligibility for children to have hypnotherapy will depend on the outcome of the Initial Consultation and how they respond to me when we meet. For hypnotherapy to work it is very important that your child is happy to have hypnotherapy and feels safe, secure and relaxed with me. |

"Lynda radiates warmth, kindness and genuine empathy. My teenage daughter really responds to this. Lynda has gained her trust, taking time to give careful and thorough consideration to her as an individual, and her situation. The work she is doing with my daughter started to show benefits almost immediately!"

First SessionThe first session should involve you and your child. It is a time for us to build trust, and child to identify what the problem is and how we are going to approach and deal with the problem. Just as with adults, it is important that your child wants to make the changes and is prepared to listen to me. You and your child will be given information on hypnotherapy, written from a child's viewpoint.

At homeDuring our session, I will record the hypnosis and give you a copy, for your child to use at home to reinforce the session. I normally find that children are very happy to help me make the CD for them to take home and this is more likely to make them listen to it at home. I would encourage them to listen to their CD, but this must be their choice, as it's important that your child feels empowered.

SessionsAs with adults, you and your child will have a free Initial Consultation to establish if hypnotherapy is the right option for them! Because children have a much more active and vivid imagination they normally need fewer sessions than an adult, especially as they have the support of the CD to use at home before they go to sleep. On average your child will need 2 to 4 sessions.
