Children from the age of 7 years who have an average attention span both enjoy and benefit from hypnotherapy.

• Therapy is tailored to the age and interests of the individual child.
• They feel wonderful during and after the session.
• This is a very gentle therapy with no apparent effort on the part of the child but with amazing results.
• In order to ensure a positive attitude to the therapy, we describe the sessions as "relaxation."
• For all children under the age of 16 years. a responsible adult (with whom they feel at ease) must be in attendance during the initial consultation and subsequent treatment.
• The permission of a parent or guardian is essential, prior to therapy.
• Children are not suitable clients for analytical therapy, however, they make excellent suggestion therapy client.
