What it can bring you

Why people come to see me

Get past a fear

The dark, animals, injections, school.

Sleep better

Fewer nightmares, and falling asleep more calmly.

Handle emotions

Understand what is going on inside and calm down.

Build confidence

Dare to put their hand up and reach out to others.

Cope better with some aches

Stress-related tummy aches or headaches, alongside medical care.

Hypnosis is all about imagination

Children slip into a hypnotic state naturally: they are there as soon as they get lost in a story. I use tales, adventures and metaphors that speak to them to help them find their own solutions.

The session is gentle and playful. Your child stays aware, can talk and move, and comes back calmly at the end.

Some precautions

Hypnosis does not replace medical advice. If your child has pain or problems that a doctor has not yet looked into, start there. I only offer hypnosis at my practice.

How a session unfolds

What happens in a session

  1. 01

    Getting to know each other

    With you, then with your child: what's bothering them, what they'd like.

  2. 02

    A moment to relax

    They settle in comfortably and let themselves be guided.

  3. 03

    A story just for them

    An imaginary adventure built around their difficulty.

  4. 04

    Coming back

    They come back gently and tell me what they experienced.

Questions

Your questions

Is hypnosis safe for a child?

Yes, Ericksonian hypnosis is gentle and respectful. Your child stays aware throughout the session.

Are there any reasons a child should not have hypnosis?

Some psychiatric or medical conditions need a doctor's opinion first. Talk to me and to your doctor about it.

How do I prepare my child for their first hypnosis session?

Just tell them they are going to listen to a story, that they will stay awake and that they can talk or move if they want to. They don't need any other preparation: I explain everything at the start.
