Empowering Children and Teens
Working with children and teens is my passion. Many people ask if hypnotherapy for children and teens is as helpful as with adults. The fact is that using hypnotherapy and hypnosis for kids produces excellent results. Through hypnotherapy and coaching children and teens are better equipped to relax and take charge of their actions, thoughts and emotions. I show them how to upgrade their thinking and beliefs and become aware of their emotions.

Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious mind, it is completely safe, widely used and extremely effective in helping children and teenagers deal with their feelings and beliefs in a brief amount of time.
Today there are so many factors that can negatively influence children and teenagers and make them feel inadequate, with low confidence, uncomfortable and unable to achieve their goals. Whether you child is experiencing issues with anxiety, anger, fears, or school related problems, they can benefit from hypnotherapy.
"In just one session Tessa was really able to help my child. She helped her to release painful memories, and immediately the nightmares went away! Tessa has a very gentle and effective way with children."

Why Hypnotherapy for Children and Teenagers is a Great Option?
Hypnotherapy effectively engages the subconscious mind – the part that is connected with behavioural patterns, memories and emotions. This is the part that is also the seat of imagination.
Children are so adept at using their imagination and this ability allows them to visualise and feel what is suggested to help them resolve their issue. I have worked with children as young as 6 years old.
Teenagers tend to be more analytical but their curiosity about hypnotherapy makes them ideal candidates. In hypnosis they find it is easier to talk about their issue. The solution based hypnotherapy allows them to make the changes in their lives without feeling they are in continuous therapy.

How does a Session Work with Children and Teenagers?
With teenagers, the process is similar to that used with adults. They would have a full 2 hour RTT session. The recording will also will be 20min long.
With children under 12 and very young ones the session is more about the active engagement of the mind and it would last about 1hr 30min. I describe it as a highly focused, daydream like, relaxing state however it is common that sometimes eyes are open and there is some moving around. The hypnotic induction, suggestions and techniques are customized to the child’s needs. I use a lot of imaginative activities, metaphors and stories. These are age appropriate and matched to the child’s interest and personality. Children always enjoy the session and feel empowered. The recoding for children is usually between 8min -15min.
Difficulties such as ADHD and high functioning autism are taken into consideration when planning the session.
"My 12 year old son always had anxiety issues as well as very low self confidence. After having two separate sessions with Tessa, not only he won one of his fencing competitions, but also performed amazingly at his pre-test exams and got into the school that he always wanted."

Parents involvement in the Hypnotherapy Process
One of the key components is that the parents are on board and supportive. The first consultation will be done with the parents, this will last about 30min. In our initial meeting I will give you tools to better support your child. There will also be a follow up meeting following the session.
Children sense subconsciously the parent’s beliefs and deepest feelings and they respond accordingly. When parents support the children and teenagers with positive suggestions, reinforcing successful behaviours and encouraging them to listen to their recording they are even more successful.
