Hypnotherapy for Children

The child's age will have a bearing upon their understanding of the concepts, the language used and types of metaphors (the 'stories' we tell). Children also vary enormously in their ability to relax and focus for any length of time and may respond better to techniques such as NLP which are 'out of hypnosis'. Their responsiveness may also vary from session to session, so our expert practitioner will need to be able to vary the approach accordingly. The earliest age suitable for hypnotherapy is probably about five and anything up to fifteen (when 'adult' approaches are the norm). Normal safeguarding requirements apply, with a parent or guardian present during therapy.
