Working with Children

Why I Love Working with Children

Children are incredible clients because of their beautiful, boundless imaginations. Their innate creativity allows them to explore and express their emotions in ways that are often more open and flexible than adults. This creativity is a powerful asset in the therapeutic process, allowing us to work together to tackle big feelings in a way that feels safe and empowering for the child.

Techniques Tailored for Young Minds

In my practice, I use a variety of techniques to help children manage and alleviate unwanted feelings and behaviours. Each child is unique, so I customize my approach to fit their specific needs and personality.
• Hypnotherapy: Children are naturally receptive to hypnotherapy due to their vivid imaginations. This technique helps them tap into their subconscious mind to overcome fears, build confidence, and develop healthier behaviours.
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): EFT is a gentle, non-invasive method that helps children release emotional blockages. By combining tapping on specific acupressure points with verbal affirmations, EFT helps reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve emotional regulation.
• Art Therapy: Art therapy allows children to express their thoughts and feelings through creative activities like drawing and painting. This non-verbal form of expression can be especially helpful for children who may find it difficult to articulate their emotions with words.

Building Resilience Together

One of my core goals is to help children build resilience—the ability to bounce back from adversity. Resilience is not just about overcoming challenges, but also about growing stronger and more confident through them. By equipping children with coping strategies and emotional tools, I empower them to face difficulties with courage and optimism.

Supporting Parents and Carers

Parents and carers play a crucial role in a child’s emotional development. I work closely with families to ensure that they have the knowledge and tools to support their child’s growth. This collaboration is key to creating lasting positive changes. Through parent and carer sessions, I provide guidance on how to reinforce the techniques we use in therapy, helping to create a supportive home environment that fosters resilience and well-being.

A Collaborative Approach
My approach is collaborative and inclusive, ensuring that both children and their families feel supported throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we explore the best ways to address your child’s needs, whether it’s managing anxiety, improving behaviours, or navigating big feelings like anger or sadness.
