Working with
CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
I have a vast experience in Primary Education and working with children with Additional Support Needs (ASN). I pride myself on my ability to deal with young people in a caring and compassionate manner. Children’s education and well-being has always been at the heart of my teaching experience. I have sought to create effective and long lasting relationships with all children and young people in my professional care.
Importantly, I know how to incorporate fun into any new learning and use this as the basis for my Solution Focused Hypnotherapy sessions too!
Recent years have witnessed a rise in a focus upon children’s mental health. NHS monthly data reveals that the number of children and young people undergoing treatment or waiting to start care continues to reach new records with open referrals to children and young people’s mental health services such as CAMHS are ever on the increase.

Using a child centered approach, where my aim is to try and understand the world from their point of view, I can help your child to:
Reduce anxiety
Feel empowered
Help induce calm and relaxation
Improve coping skills and levels of confidence, self-esteem and control.
The sessions last approximately 1 hour and focus upon relating knowledge of the brain to your child's wellbeing. The 'talking therapy' involves creating a mental doing picture to move forward.
In the sessions I will... ​
Respect your child's point of view
Listen and understand
Meet them on their own terms and try to understand the world from their point of view.
NOT talk about 'what I would do', particularly important with teens!
