Hypnotherapy for children and teens
Help your child regain control and be at their very best
Defeat Anxiety with Kristian
Anxiety Hypnotherapist
A surprisingly large number of childhood problems stem from stress and unresolved emotional issues. As a therapist and former primary school teacher specialising in anxiety in children, my main goal is to help your child feel more in control of their thoughts and feelings.
Once they have learned tools and techniques with which to deal more effectively with stress and anxiety, children usually make remarkable progress.
Hypnotherapy for children and teens can help with issues such as:
- bedwetting
- nailbiting
- insomnia
- exam nerves
- bullying
- behavioural problems
Hypnotherapy for children is effective as it makes use of your child’s natural imagination and visualisation skills. A session may involve the use of stories, adventures or ‘meeting’ a character from a favourite TV programme.
Overcome Anxiety: With Hypnotherapy!
Hypnotherapy is a process whereby an experienced therapist can help you make improvements in your life by using this relaxed, daydream state (hypnosis) to suggest more helpful and positive behaviour.
Using Hypnotherapy to Relieve Anxiety
Although children and young adults experience anxiety symptoms in much the same way adults do, they often respond to these symptoms very differently.This can lead to problems in diagnosis and a tough time for parents who are not sure whether their child is just ‘going through a phase‘ which they’ll grow out of, or if the issue really involves an anxiety disorder. Anxiety has been found to be one of the most common causes of distress in children and young people. One in six 16- 24 year olds have suffered from an anxiety disorder and one person in an average school class has suffered depression.
Benefits of using Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is often incredibly effective with children and teens, often even more so than with adults. This is partly because children haven’t been brainwashed or mislead by the media to think that hypnosis is all about swinging watches, stage shows or losing control! Children and young adults are usually more visual and imaginative which makes the process both natural and effortless. Rather than being stressful, stuffy or serious, hypnotherapy for children and teens is a fun and engaging process which puts your child back in the driver’s seat of their emotions.
Controlling your anxiety
The first hypnosis session lasts about 1 hour and involves a friendly chat about what your child doesn’t like about their current situation and what they would prefer to experience instead.Our main focus is on the solution, rather than the problem.Towards the end of the first consultation, both you (if present) and your child can experience a short hypnosis session which will relax you both and give you a great taster of what being hypnotised feels like. For your peace of mind, you may be reassured to know that I was a primary school teacher for a number of years before becoming a therapist.

Really enjoyed my hypnotherapy sessions – feel very positive about losing weight (already lost 4 lb after first session). Would definitely recommend Kristian to anyone who wants to lose weight. No gimmicks, he makes you feel really at ease – so much so that I won an Olympic gold medal for swimming during the session!Sarah, Weight Loss Client
I was extremely troubled because of some problems and thoughts I couldn’t get rid of. They were preventing me from enjoying and getting on with my life. I was losing my grip. In just two months however, hypnosis has given me the tools to tame my mind and succeed at looking at life from a very different perspective. It’s astonishing how easy and quick one can evolve once they know the appropriate tools. I am leading myself to a completely different point where I am starting to be in control of my mind, and therefore my life.Claudia, Anxiety Patient
I know it probably sounds a bit nuts to anyone who doesn’t have a problem with spiders, but to me I feel I have overcome a big fear in my life. Without a doubt I now feel confident enough to be able to remove one from the house myself and not get paralysed with fear at the sight of one. I had my doubts anything would work but I was wrong. This has worked!Hanna, Spider Phobia
I am amazed! – I have not wanted to smoke since the session and don’t even think about smoking! I haven’t had any cravings, irritable behaviour or gained any weight. I feel so much healthier and am able to run faster at the gym! Thank you so much- I would recommend this to anyone!Olivia, Smoking Client
I have just had 6 sessions of gastric band hypnotherapy with Kristian and it was amazing!! Didn’t think it was going to work but I lost 8 lb in the first week and then continued to lose between 3 and 5lb a week. Worth the money and I would definitely recommend to people in the future.Kirsty, Weight Loss Client
