Working With Kids
So let’s get a few things straight from the start – whilst I am a professional mind coach and a father of two beautiful kids of my own, I am not a trained child psychologist.
However over the years I have used my professional skills and natural affinity with kids to help children of all ages overcome a wide range of difficulties, including phobias, allergies, sleep issues and a number of other assorted emotional challenges.
I do not use traditional hypnotherapy when I work with children, although I do use some of its underlying principles, especially those associated with changing beliefs.
My approach is based on eliciting the help of a child’s imagination (the language of the unconscious mind) to assist them in changing in just the way they need. As such, I am using their own natural resources to help them affect change within themselves.
The process is far quicker and simpler than it might sound, especially with younger children who are almost always in a playful, creative and imaginative trance-like state.
Indeed, as parents I am sure you have kissed away your child’s pain when they’ve banged a toe or fallen off their bike. Well my approach works on the same principle, i.e. using a child’s imagination, which is always far stronger than their will, to help facilitate real and long lasting change.
Over recent months I have helped kids overcome phobias of dogs, cats, dentists and injections. I have helped kids overcome allergies including wheat and dairy, and I have helped kids have more comfortable and dryer (!) sleep patterns.
So call me – I am happy to chat and can explain in more detail how I might be able to help.
