Children love stories, especially ones that allow their vivid imaginations to take them to places of escape and great joy. Their imagination has no boundaries. To children it is not about thinking outside the box – there is no box in the first place. Even if there is a box it can be a racing car, a castle for a princess, a space ship or a million other things. The form of hypnotherapy I use is based round stories and metaphors. Children are able to accept the processes as their imaginations are programmed to do so.

Many children and young adults struggle to verbalise their worries and anxieties. This is where Hypnotherapy is able to provide a safe, comfortable supportive and easy way for children to let go. They can resolve their inner conflicts and move forward quite quickly.
