Does your child seem more worried than usual, avoid school, or struggle to settle at night because of anxious thoughts? Anxiety in children can appear in many forms, from restlessness and irritability to stomach aches and sleepless nights. As a parent, it can be difficult to know whether this is simply a phase or something that needs extra support.

In this blog, I will explain how hypnotherapy for children offers a gentle yet effective way to help young people cope with anxiety. We will explore what childhood anxiety looks like, why hypnotherapy works so well for children and teenagers, and practical ways it can support daily life.

Do you ever wonder why your child has suddenly started biting their nails, struggling with sleep, or withdrawing from activities they once enjoyed? Emotional and behavioural changes in children and teenagers can feel unsettling for any parent. These shifts may be linked to anxiety, stress at school, or challenges with friendships. Left unaddressed, such patterns can affect a child’s confidence and well-being.

In this article, I will share how hypnotherapy for children and teens can support a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties, from anxiety and phobias to trauma and habits such as nail biting or bedwetting. You’ll also learn why young people respond so well to this approach and what a typical sessio...

The title might seem unusual since we generally expect children to be thrilled during Christmas. As a mother of two, I’ve noticed my kids’ excitement for the holiday season, but it’s essential to acknowledge that not every child shares this sentiment. While Christmas brings joy, it can also bring heightened stress for some children. In my role as a Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in child anxiety, I’ve observed common concerns children face during this festive period. Let’s explore these challenges and discuss coping strategies to support parents throughout the season.

Many of us wish we’d chosen the perfect ...

Insomnia is so common, it affects millions of people every night. According to the NHS, it’s a problem that regularly affects around one in three people in the UK.

As a sleep specialist, I know poor sleep is more than just frustrating. It can havea significant impact on both physical and mental health. It can causeheadaches, muscle pain, and other physical symptoms and can lead to fatigue,irritability, and diffi...

Anyone who has experienced anxiety, or has been close to someone who has, knows how debilitating and destructive it can be.

Some commentators are quick to dismiss anxiety as a ‘modern illness’ and indeed there has been a marked increase in reported anxiety amongst the general public in the last few years, but the truth is it is a difficult condition to live with.

Of course, sometimes anxiety is a perfectly normal and useful way to respond. It is our body’s natural response to a perceived threat. When we are faced with potentially harmful situations it makes sense for our ‘fight or flight’ response to be triggered.

When this happens, cortisol and adrenaline are released into our systems. These cause our heart to beat faster, our b

The inarguable truth of life is that there are only three ways that it can impact on you, and that however inclined to control freakery you might or might not be, one of them is completely beyond your control.

There are those things in life that happen as a direct result of your own decisions and actions: if you put your hand into a fire, it will hurt.

There are those things in life that you can influence: you can reduce your driving s

As humans in a modern and consumer-led society, we spend a lot of our time chasing things we don’t have.

This might be the pursuit of material things that amplify our social status – money, property, a smart car or that holiday in the Seychelles, for example – but they’re often less tangible things such as health and happiness.

Happiness is the biggest dream that humans chase, although in most cases we don’t really understand what happiness looks like or feels like. Often – and wrongly – we seek to define it by our identifiable material achievements.

How often have you said or thought, if I could just earn another £x / buy a bigger h

Well done, you made it! To misquote John Lennon, another year over and a new one just about to begin. Now there’s just the tricky issue of Christmas to navigate and it’s plain sailing all the way into 2019, right?

Well, yes – but that’s easier said than done.

Over the last two weeks or so, I’ve seen quite a lot of stuff online about why Christmas is a terrible time of the year.

I don’t know, maybe the mood of the moment is to be fed up with life. I don’t know why that should be the case, and maybe we should blame Brexit for it, since that seems to be responsible for everything else that people perceive to be wrong in life generally these
