Paediatric Hypnotherapy

TISPH

Children and adolescents have wonderfully creative minds.  This makes them excellent hypnotic subjects as they can fully embrace the power of imagination and suggestion to help their minds make massive changes.

The brain is an extremely powerful tool and using the power of hypnosis and psychology it's possible to see significant changes, rapidly.  Hypnotherapy can help a wide array of issues within children, and I'll list them below.  I've seen it work 'miracles' in children with chronic pain and also those with self-confidence issues.   It's an underused tool with children and I'd like to see it help them to deal with issues whilst they're most open to change - before they hit adulthood.

For many issues it is important that a child has symptoms checked by a GP or a Surgeon prior to undergoing hypnotherapy.  This is especially important with issues such as chronic pain, gastrointestinal concerns, and such like.  I do not want to mask a condition that requires medical attention.  Hypnotherapy is a very effective tool and I strive to use it responsibly for the benefit of my clients.
