Using hypnotherapy for children

When using hypnotherapy for children it is often not necessary to explain in detail to children about “hypnosis” it may simply explained that they will be having a really relaxed and quiet time in which they use their imaginations to resolve their problems, it is important that the child would like to change the problem behaviour or issue themselves.
Whilst treating a particular childhood problem, the therapist is often able to introduce other positive affirmations to the child, for example being more relaxed, having more energy, feeling confident, feeling happy, liking themselves better, remembering more easily or reading faster. Children are very suggestible and respond well to these types of therapy. During our hypnotherapy for children programme a parent (or guardian) is present at all times during each consultation.

One of the reasons that hypnotherapy for children can be such a good choice is that children make good use of their imaginations. Their therapist will have little difficulty in using this ability to help your child deal with the issue that is troubling them. The treatment might include using stories, adventures, meeting a hero or even character from a favourite TV programme who advises you what to do, and these are all ideas that are easily accepted by a young children. Even an older child can often be be open to using their imagination but as they are already more sophisticated in their thinking; we would format their treatment accordingly.

When we are using hypnotherapy for children we often find that participation of the parent in this therapeutic process is important, parent’s anxiety about a particular behaviour often can make change more difficult for the child.

Our paediatric hypnotherapist is CRB cleared and has special paediatric training awarded by the Canadian Institute of Hypnotism which is important when using hypnotherapy for children.
