'It was a unique, very personal experience. I am normally a sceptic about these things but it was definitely worth it.'

Children respond fantastically well to hypnosis and they learn self-hypnosis techniques quickly and enthusiastically.
You have probably notices the way in which your children enjoy imaginative play, making up stories in their heads and drawing vivid pictures from their imagination. Children are uninhibited about using the creativity of their subconscious minds and they tend to participate naturally and skilfully in the visualisations I use in my approach to hypnotherapy.
Perhaps more importantly, hypnotherapy is a way of introducing children to valuable habits of rest and deep relaxation from an early age.
Research shows that TV and video games are composed of increasingly fast edits, which may have lasting effects on cognitive development. Add to this the increasingly fast pace of all our lives and the complexity of many family situations, and it's little wonder that some children have anxious thoughts or have difficulty 'winding down' at the end of the day.
The cost of my hypnotherapy session includes a personalised relaxation CD which you can play every night to ensure that your child gets all the undisturbed sleep and positive suggestions that he or she needs.
If it's lack of concentration, test nerves, shyness or lack of confidence that is the problem, these all respond extremely well to hypnotherapy. I can also teach you how to adopt simple and fun relaxation and visualisation games into your daily family routine.
