Children's Conditions
Children often respond well to therapies such as hypnotherapy and counselling but it is important to make sure that the therapist is trained and experienced working with children as this type of therapy is different to therapy for adults.
Depending on the age of the child we work within the parameters of their belief system and knowledge. When using hypnotherapy we typically use very gentle visualisations which may incorporate people, characters or scenarios that they can relate to and wherever possible we will see them at home where they feel safe and secure.
The most common conditions we work with for children are:
- Stress and anxiety
- Bed-wetting
- Nail biting
- Performance anxiety (athletics, sport, music, singing, exams etc.)
- Eating disorders
- Weight-issues
- Drug or alcohol addiction
- Trauma related to unwanted pregnancy, child-loss, abortion, child abuse etc.
- Self-harming
- Dental or hospital phobia
- Psychogenic dyslexia
- Medical conditions aggravated by stress (Asthma, Eczema, etc.)
- Excessive blushing
If your child needs hypnotherapy please contact us and we will discuss treatment with you and whether it will be appropriate for you child.
