Children and Hypnotherapy
Children over the age of 7 years of age respond exceptionally well to therapy, with amazing results after only a single session.
I insist that children under the age of 16 always be accompanied by a parent or guardian, preferably the one which child gets on with best, who is actively encouraged to participate in the session.

The IAH 'Blowaway' technique
"Blowaway' is a specially designed hypnotherapy technique to help children resolve worries, anxieties or underlying phobias and removes issues developed through their adolescence ensuring they do not carry these issues forward into adult life, only to surface sometime in the future, which they invariably will.

'Blowaway' has been designed specifically with children in mind and is therefore gentle and non intrusive. The child is inducted into an hypnotic state and, after some instruction, is encouraged to 'blow away' all negative emotions or 'bottled up' feelings. This has proven to be the most effective way of reducing stress or anxiety developed by the child during the process of growing up. Following the main 'Blowaway' session there is a period of relaxation and then positive hypnotic suggestions are introduced to the child, as well as the adult, making it a liberating experience for both.
