Find a Practitioner
We are Marcia & Julie and we created Hypno4Children™ as many of our Hypnotherapy students and graduates asked us where they could find specialist training for working with children. It made sense to us to create this consistent approach based on our many years of working with children. Our practitioners can build a fully bespoke therapy plan for children and teens based on their unique needs. All practitioners listed below have previous training in Hypnotherapy and/or NLP, have taken the Hypno4Children™ training, and passed our exam. Accredited practitioners in addition to passing our exam have also demonstrated their skills through submitting and passing case studies.
We encourage all our practitioners to hold an enhanced DBS certificate through their professional body, please check this with them individually.

Hi, I’m Julie co-founder of Hypno4Children™ and an enthusiastic champion for empowering our young people to feel secure within their own emotions. Its always a delight and a privilege to work with children, teens and young people to help them learn how our minds work and explore ways that they can safely feel all their emotions, as all emotions are valid, but also help them find ways to self sooth and be able to regulate their emotions when they are overwhelming or uncomfortable and causing undesirable behaviours. Children never cease to amaze me with their imagination, creativity and enthusiasm. I have worked with many children over the years, each individual with their own inner super power and it is incredibly joyful to see them learning new ways of thinking and being, setting the foundations for a healthy emotional life and good mental health. I am a qualified Hypnotherapist, NLP, TFT, IEMT Practitioner and offer an initial 15 free Discovery Call where we can talk through the requirements of your child. Please do get in touch if you’d like to have a chat.

As the co-founder of Hypno4Children™ I am passionate about helping children and young people overcome issues, grow in confidence and thrive. It is such an honour to work with this client group. Seeing children and young people come into sessions with a variety of anxieties and leaving with a new found calmness and confidence, as well as some wellbeing tools for life is such an amazing feeling! I have many years of experience working with Children aged 5 and up and I bring with me all my experience as a Mum, Hypnotherapist, Counsellor, Tapping Therapist and Positive Psychology Coach.
Louise Beck HPD
Location: Ramsgate, Thanet, Kent
Phone: 01843482206
I am Louise, a trained hypnotherapist using a combined therapy approach to help children including TFT, NLP and mindfulness techniques within my practice. I am also a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner.
My passion is to give children a toolbox to be able to cope with everyday emotions, trauma, fears, and cope with the uncontrollable events that can be chucked into our pathway. This passion matches perfectly with the Hypno4Children™ programs!
I have two inspirational daughters who are 7 & 10. I have used many of the techniques with them, to help them to regulate emotions and to start to form their own toolbox. As a parent, I have experienced the pain of watching an ill child, a child who is so upset about attending nursery/school, a child who fears the dark, a child who has frustration from learning difficulties, just to name a few! I believe that children are our most valuable gift and giving them a mindfulness toolkit has become a real passion and is when I come alive! Helping children to be able to cope with trauma however big or small it seems. For example, a death in the family, exam pressure, dealing with the school bully, and conquering themselves as their own worst critic!
One of my own hero’s is Milton Erickson, he explains that nearly all his patients would respond to stories and metaphors both under hypnosis or not, demonstrating the power of storytelling. This is a theory I have seen work with my own eyes for my children and others. I like to use stories within my practice, and I am very creative working with the child’s own amazing imagination! I offer a free discovery call and look forward to working with you.

Hi, I’m Sarah, a clinical Hypnotherapist and Thought Field Therapy Practitioner. I enjoy supporting others through teaching them tools and techniques to help bring around positive change in so many different aspects of life.
As a mum of 3 children, I can see how things such as COVID-19, home-schooling, social media and gaming have impacted behaviour both of parents and the children and understand how challenging this can be to the entire family. I provide a supportive environment for you and your child to work through any issues or challenges that you are experiencing, I keep the focus on the client in terms of what will work and what pace we move at because it’s the client who matters.

Danielle Killick
Location: Reading, Berkshire
Hello, I’m Danielle, a qualified teacher, counsellor, hypnotherapist and Hypno4Children practitioner. I have two children aged 13 and 14 years old, and I am so grateful for them teaching me what it’s like for young people to grow up in our world today. Their energy and zest for life is contagious!
I have worked in primary education for over 20 years and am highly motivated to help children and young people build their confidence, resilience and independence. We live in a fast-paced world and the demands on children and young people are increasing all the time. Maintaining our mental health and wellbeing are so important for everyone, now more than ever, and that’s where I can help.
My passion is helping people of all ages to use strategies and tools to make positive changes, and find the balance when life becomes overwhelming. This can be achieved through using the ‘MINDHACK’ and/or ‘STUDYCALM’ approaches, which encompasses a variety of skills and techniques that can be built into a personalised therapy plan for your child. This could include, learning about the ‘Brain House’ and understanding why we feel overwhelmed sometimes. The use of tapping and breathing techniques for relaxation and addressing those ‘wonky thoughts’. Building a wellbeing toolkit is a fun and creative activity that can be used every day in any situation. Hypnotherapy is a safe and relaxing therapy that can really enhance the positive changes we make together.
The key to this therapeutic work is ensuring the child or teen feels empowered. It’s crucial that they feel they are playing an important role in the therapy and that it’s not being ‘done’ to them. This is a collaborative approach that will help your child make some wonderful and positive changes in their life. I’m very much looking forward to meeting and working with you. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.

Hello my name is Phiona and I am a Clinical hypnotherapist based in Havant Hampshire, I work in private practice for face to face sessions and also nationally online. I have worked as a holistic therapist for 20 years and developed my practice with hypnotherapy training alongside, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Breathwork Coaching and IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy. Most recently completing the Hypno4children Practitioner training to deepen my skills to support children in their time of need.
As a mum of three now grown children, I truly understand the complexities that children face as they journey through the younger years and into adolescence, how those feelings and emotions can be consuming and life defining. How, by applying understanding and a therapy toolbox it can be life changing, ego strengthening, self esteem boosting, leading to become more confidant, happy and balanced.
I specialise in anxiety, trauma and depression and how it affects the wellbeing and mindset, which in turn can have a knock on affect to school life, friendships, relationships, exam stress and behavioural issues. Which can be overwhelming for the young person and worrying for the parents themselves. I offer a combination of therapeutic techniques to support children, teens and adolescents to overcome their stress and worries, becoming more in control of their own emotions, positive mindset and wellbeing. I also volunteer as a support worker with a local charity that offers counselling to young people as they navigate their way through the early stages of life.
Please get in touch for a 15 minute free insight call with parents and/or your child to see how I can support you at this time.

Hi I’m Chantal and I am an accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist, Hypno4Children Practitioner, NLP practitioner, Emotional Freedom Practitioner, Batchelor of Nursing, Reflexologist, Aromatherapist, chakra balancing practitioner and Infant Reflexology Instructor who has a great passion for holistic care.
I have worked within the care industry as a nurse and complementary therapist for 20 years with many adults and children and now work as a complementary therapist privately from The Little Room of Calm.
I have a great interest in treating a person as a ‘whole’ considering the mind and body and believe that this multi-faceted approach to care can ensure that people are able to experience the best quality of life possible. I have a flexible integrative approach using a range of therapies including Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, Reflexology, Aromatherapy and energy healing.
I am a mum of two lovely children myself I have found this journey as a parent to be the most wonderful and equally challenging to date. This led me to train further with Hypno4Children and first and foremost, to use the tools and techniques I learned with my own children. I now practice children’s hypnotherapy as an Accredited Hypno4Children Practitioner and love to teach children, using the MINDHACK programme; a framework that is designed to be able to work with all children to educate them on just how brilliant and clever their minds and bodies are. To understand how our brains work to keep us safe and be able to recognise where and why our brains may have thoughts or feelings that feel big or overwhelming sometimes. When we can understand just how normal this, we can learn how we can work with our brains and bodies, tap into our inner resources and learn tools and strategies to help us manage our thoughts and feelings in any situations we may come across. It is a toolkit for life and can help to build and strengthen positive beliefs and resilience as we learn and grow.
This has greatly benefitted our children and us as a family so far and I am so passionate about helping other children and parents to feel safe, seen, heard, supported and empowered in their journeys together too.

Hi, I’m Eliza, I am a trained cognitive hypnotherapist, using combined therapy’s NLP, CBT, EFT, breathwork & mindfulness adapting to the young person in front of me & meeting their needs.
I have worked with young people & families for over 10 years & my passion is sharing these skills with young children all the way up to adults, re plugging them back into themselves with more resources, techniques feeling calmer, and connected.
Wanting to add to my development I qualified as a cognitive hypnotherapist & Hypno4Children Practitioner in 2024 gaining further knowledge & expertise to support more clients through difficult life experiences, crisis circumstances & isolation.
As a parent myself having had my own children, who all unfortunately experience difficult life experiences, I was also open to the fact that quite often children need a modality adapted to them, rather than a set script, or one size fits all & this is my exact approach to all.
I run several programmes throughout the year, most recently a service for all young people disengaged from education or services, something close to my heart as my own teen was out of school for nearly 5 years due to school avoidance.

Hi my name is Ashling, I’m a qualified Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist (DSFH, HPD (MNCH Reg) and a Hypno4children practitioner based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Connecting and working with children is my field of expertise. I help them to develop a positive mindset and build resilience to overcome life’s challenges. I use a combination of different therapeutic approaches such as Psychotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Tapping, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Positive Psychology / Coaching and Hypnosis.
I believe that the potential for positive change is the essential building block for creating the best possible future for us all. My work with young people is about discovering and growing this potential within them, as well as developing life skills and giving them the tools to help them thrive and overcome any emotional and physical concerns that have been holding them back from living their lives to their fullest.
My sessions are unique in their structure as I incorporate a future-focused, solution-based process which is positive, fun and tailored to my client’s age and individual needs. I use interactive and visual child friendly guides to explain the ‘MindHack’ system which gives them an understanding of how the brain and mind works, why they are feeling the way they are and what tools and techniques I can teach them to help them gain back control of their emotions, allowing them to break-free from self-limiting thoughts and behaviours and build a happy, stable future for themselves.
The Study Calm system can be stand alone or incorporated into sessions to teach young people techniques to boost their academic studies, test or exam performance.
I’m approachable and want the very best for my clients, I have worked with many children and young people who have blossomed into confident, happy, awe inspiring individuals, and I feel very proud to have watched these transformations.
I’d love to hear from you to discuss how I can help your child achieve their full potential.

Phone: 07813 282322
Hello, my name is Simone and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Hypno4Children™ practitioner and Rapid Transformational Therapy™ practitioner. I am also a qualified teacher and mother of three.
Having worked with children for almost 20 years, I have the experience and ability to connect with them on their level in a fun and natural way. I appreciate the joy and wonder of childhood, but at the same time I am aware that children’s emotions can be very intense and they can feel stuck, scared or overwhelmed when dealing with life’s challenges or even when just functioning on a day-to-day basis.
It is my wish that every child knows how precious and wonderful they are but most importantly how powerful they are. My role is to help children realise that they already have all the power within them to solve problems, change their thought patterns and feel confident and happy. Using the Hypno4Children™ framework, I teach children how the mind works and why they feel, behave and think the way they do. I then equip them with a ‘toolbox’ of techniques that they can use whenever they need to. This is all carried out in a relaxed and fun way using stories and images to connect with the child’s imagination and subconscious mind.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for bringing about positive change and can address a wide variety of issues such as anxiety, exam nerves, bedwetting, fears, low confidence to name a few.
Please contact me for a free chat to see how I can help you and your child. I’d love to hear from you.

Hi, my name is Gerry and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Hypno4Children Practitioner based in Norfolk on the coast. I am also CBT trained and previously Nurture based. I am also a Thrive practitioner and lead Family Thrive sessions for a special needs nursery locally.
I recently retired from a pastoral role in school and have over 40 years’ experience of working with children of all ages and needs. When working I was a Special Needs Co-ordinator and Behavioural lead and so have a lot of knowledge in these areas which I am able to draw on when working with children.
Upon retiring I felt I wanted to continue with supporting children and so completed some additional training so I could work from my own space. I have a beautiful therapy room which I have designed making it adult and child friendly. I can also extend my therapy into a garden area if needed.
When working with children I allow myself to be guided by the child’s needs and likes and am particularly keen to work with art and sand tray pictures. I use a range of other strategies and can help a child to establish their own Emotional tool kit to aid them as they grow.
Please contact me for an informal chat or check out my website at Worth Hypnotherapy for more information and pictures.
Many thanks for reading about me.

Are you looking for a way to change the way your child thinks, feels or behaves? Are you looking for them to be more relaxed? More calm and confident? To be less overwhelmed and anxious? To release tension, fear, self-limiting beliefs, and sadness? To cope better with the everyday stresses of a chaotic modern life.
I am Fi, of Love Reiki Holistic Healing Therapies, and I am here to help you.
As a mum of 2, I know how difficult it can be to watch your child struggle with their emotions. Lack of self-confidence, anxiety, fears, friendship issues and general worries can all impact on their wellbeing and in many cases the whole family.
My approach is holistic, it considers the well-being of the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. My therapy intentions are simple; to light a spark so that children and teens feel happier, stronger, and more resilient across all these levels. With a kind, compassionate and warm approach, I help young people to feel more confident in overcoming problems and in dealing with life’s challenges.
Working collaboratively, I combine a mix of fast acting yet gentle therapeutic approaches (including hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT tapping, EMDR, and reiki) tailored to your child’s evolving needs as we progress together through their healing journey.
All of the therapeutic approaches we use are soothing and calming, designed to help natural relaxation and lower stress levels, to reset and re-balance, and move forward in a more positive and fulfilling way.
I support children, teens, and young people on a one-to-one basis, both in person and online, teaching them tools and techniques that can be utilised outside of sessions to build inner strength, to help bring around positive change in so many different aspects of their life.
In-person sessions are held in The Healing Hut, a warm and cosy shepherds hut in the Hampshire countryside (conveniently located for Basingstoke, Alton, Farnham, Alresford, and Winchester), a safe and calm and soothing space surrounded by nature.

Phone: 07900 967108
Hi, I’m Caroline and I am a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, and Hypno4children practitioner based in Baildon, Bradford, West Yorkshire. Prior to training as a hypnotherapist, I had a long career working as a specialist nurse with children and families within the NHS.
During my nursing career, I worked with a wide range of children, young people, and their families and carers. My experience combined with my calm and friendly personality means I easily connect with children to establish a level of rapport that allows them to gain the best from their sessions with me.
Hypnotherapy for children is a safe and effective way to help deal with anxiety, fears, and many other childhood difficulties. I am passionate about supporting children to thrive and overcome any issues that are impacting them negatively. Young children have great imaginations and therefore respond extremely well to hypnosis and positive suggestions.
As the parent of two adult children, one of whom has complex needs, I am experienced and committed to supporting all children including those with disabilities including autism ADHD and Learning disabilities. I believe that children and young people with additional needs and their parents and carers benefit enormously from the techniques I use with them. I understand the stress involved in parenting a child with a disability and find this means I build a natural rapport with parents of children with additional needs.
I use a combination of approaches, Solution focused brief therapy, neurolinguistic programming, and tapping to help children and young people conquer stress and anxiety and allow them to be the happiest version of themselves.

Phone: 07706 524793
Hi, my name is Janet, and I am a qualified Solution Focus Hypnotherapist, and Hypno4children therapist based on the Wirral, Merseyside. I also offer online therapy too.
My journey with hypnotherapy started when I completed training with The Fertile Body Method and although my experience as a meditation teacher held me in good stead, I wanted to offer hypnotherapy too.
My training in Ayurveda has helped me to gain in depth knowledge on how stress and outside influences have a negative effect on our whole being and preventative health is key.
I cannot begin to tell you how valuable it is to be able to offer Hypno4children and see the results. Children tend to have a thirst for knowledge and by introducing them to relaxation, and self-help tools such as breathing exercises, tapping and using their imagination I can help your child to see things from a different perspective and have a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset.

I love working with young people, no two sessions are ever the same! I use a mix of creative play, arts and crafts, hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP techniques, and good old-fashioned chatting to help children overcome worries and limiting beliefs, to build confidence and resilience.
Hypnotherapy is very affective for teenagers who can find it so difficult to express how they are feeling and what they are thinking. It allows them to do focused work on their internal worlds in the privacy of their own minds without the added pressure of verbalising their thoughts.

I began studying mental health at The Edinburgh College in 2018, where I obtained a foundation qualification in Counselling.

Hi, I’m Steve and I am a Clinical Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with children.
My sessions are solution focused, interactive and use a variety of different therapeutic tools, in order to encourage your child to be engaged and be involved in the therapeutic process. I work with a variety of different age groups and therefore the sessions are tailored and bespoke to the needs and wants of your child.
Within the sessions I encourage your child to become curious about how their mind works, so they can gain an understanding, insight and appreciation of some of the reasons why they feel, behave and think the way they do.
Prior to training as a clinical psychotherapist and hypnotherapist I had a long career as a teacher, school counsellor, educational consultant and workshop leader. With a background in health and wellbeing education I am particularly passionate about providing children and young adults with a variety of health and wellness tools and strategies so that they grow into confident, resilient, independent individuals, who feel good about themselves and flourish.
As a therapist I am very aware that children experience lots of different emotions and feelings throughout their childhood which at times can be very intense and upsetting. This can often lead to confusion, frustration and a feeling of being stuck. These emotions can be overwhelming and may affect your child’s behaviour in a variety of different ways. These can show up as a lack of confidence, anxiety issues, anger outbursts, mood swings, and reluctance to engage in normal activities. Through my work I am able to help children to manage and cope better with their emotions and feelings and regain balance in their lives.
My qualifications include the following; NLP Certified Trainer and Coach, Mindfulness teacher, Certified Brain and Behavioural Change Coach, TFT Practitioner (tapping), Positive Psychology Coach & Hypn4 Children Practitioner Mental Health First Aider.

Phone: 07734760702
Hi, I am Bernadette,
Children can face many challenges as they explore and grow. Some of these challenges can be with attending school, college, uni, changes in the home, illnesses, exams or life where our moods and bodies change, this can create all kinds of issues such as low self esteem, depression, confidence. These can lead us to behave and act out in ways that do not support us well, such as self harming or eating disorders, mood swings etc.
If you feel your child would need support through some issues where they feel they are not coping well then give me a call.
I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner and a Hypno4Children Practitioner. I have worked with children in various capacities for 14 years.
With my years of work with children I have a good understanding of supporting children from where they are currently at, to supporting them growing into confident young adults.

Hi! I’m Sophie, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Tapping, and Hypno4Children Practitioner based in Greater Manchester. I work with children aged 4 and above in my therapy room in Wigan and Online via Zoom.
I previously worked as a qualified primary school teacher, in mainstream and SEND settings. I am a passionate advocate for children’s mental well-being, and I’ve always aimed to provide genuine opportunities for every child to thrive.
Transitioning from education to hypnotherapy my aim is to provide unrestricted, holistic support for children. I give my all to those who needed it most, beyond the limitations of a traditional classroom. My personal journey with ADHD, from challenges growing up, late diagnosis, grief, understanding and acceptance, serves as a bridge of connection with many of the children I support. Sharing my story has helped children to connect with someone who understands their struggles, helping them feel understood and less alone.
Through a blend of hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP, and tapping techniques, I create a safe and engaging space where children learn about their brains, feelings, behaviours and how to overcome challenges. Whether it’s managing emotions, building resilience, overcoming fears or anxieties, I’m dedicated to helping children develop a positive mindset that lasts a lifetime. Bespoke sessions are designed to be enjoyable and accessible for children of all ages.

Hi I’m Lindsay and I am a qualified Cognitive Hypnotherapist, tapping and Hypno4Children Practitioner in Somerset, UK. I work with children aged 7+ face to face in Compton Dundon, Wells and online.
Prior to becoming a Cognitive Hypnotherapist I was a software developer for nearly 20 years. Over the years I felt my passion change from writing the code to helping my clients.
Having experienced traumatic family events and moving to many different schools during my childhood I know what it’s like to be anxious and experience big feelings that I didn’t know what they were. I am passionate about helping young people learn about their feelings, behaviours and their brains in a safe, comfortable and non judgemental space to build resilience for their future.
Outside of my practice I am a school reader volunteer for my local primary school and a Guide Dog puppy raiser.
Hypnotherapy is not swinging watches and making people cluck like a chicken. I work with young people to find out what their world is like, help them understand what they are going through and how to make it better. I have a wealth of tools to choose from and as everyone is unique, I tailor the sessions to the young person and their needs.
I work with children aged 7 all the way through to adults.
If you want to find out more about how I can help, I offer a free 30 minute chat with parents/guardians and then a further free 15 minute online session with your child to see if we are a good fit. It’s important to find the right therapist to build that trust in order for the therapy to work.

Location: Bath, Midsomer Norton & Paulton (Somerset), Online via Zoom
Phone: 07342 871032
Hi, I’m Michelle, a teacher with over 25 years of experience in coaching children, one-to-one, from primary to secondary school ages. Aided by therapeutic coaching, children (and adults!) can easily learn how to self-regulate emotions and to stop the ‘wonky thoughts’ that contribute to negative states of being. I use an integrated mind-body-breath approach to create positive changes at the physical, emotional and behavioural levels, whilst helping children to install positive beliefs about themselves, because when we do that, it creates both mental strength and autonomous control, enabling children to relax with who they are becoming.
My training in Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy, takes best practice from a variety of schools of therapy. I use tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), EFT tapping, CBT, Human Givens, Positive Psychology, as well as Hypno4Children Mindhack & StudyCalm, to help empower anxious children and teens, so that they can navigate life in a way which promotes their emotional and mental wellbeing. I offer individual sessions and group wellbeing classes.
Coaching can be used to help a variety of issues from exam stress, anxiety, sleep problems, confidence, low self-esteem, fears, phobias and compulsive habits. Through gentle guided visualisations, stories and solution-focused activities, we explore through the imagination, fun and creative ways to re-train our brain, so that the ‘upstairs’ thinking brain, can communicate in harmony with our ‘downstairs’ emotional and protective brain. Together we create a toolbox of skills and learn about how the brain works, which means these abilities once taught and practised, work not only on the issue you came for, but can be used as skills for life.
If you would like to work with me, then you can contact me for a free chat and we can discuss how individual coaching, StudyCalm and/or wellbeing classes can help you and your child. As a creative and intuitive therapist, I am always guided by your child to work in ways which are best for them.

Hi, I’m Helen (Helly to my young clients) and I’m a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and Hypno4Children practitioner. I use an integrated approach based on my client’s needs. I combine TFT, NLP, CBT, to help children and young people within my practise.
I help children from 5 years old to teenagers (as well as adults) to manage stress, depression, trauma, anxiety, and phobias. I can support children to return to school, manage exam stress, cope with bullying, bed-wetting or any condition that stops your child from living their best life. Your child will leave me with a toolkit that they can dip into at any point in their young lives to be more resilient and cope with the complexities of modern life.
I have been an educator of adults and young people for 35 years and have a son of my own who I raised as a single parent. I am passionate about helping children and young people develop tools and skills to manage life, especially in the post-lockdown climate and an overburdened NHS.
At the heart of what I do is explaining the brain, what it does, why it’s not working as we want it, and what we can do to stop it misbehaving! I make sessions information. I offer a free, non-threatening, fun and lively, drawing upon your child’s strengths and interests to make it a positive and gentle experience.

Cathy Gallagher
Location: West Sussex and online
Phone: 07984 015657
Hi, I’m Cathy and I’m a trained hypnotherapist who is passionate about helping my clients to feel happier. I feel also my particular strength is empathy and understanding for the parents as much as the child.
I’m a mum of three children; at some point they have each had their own struggles. I used to find it so hard to deal with my own feelings when they were low. You know the saying “You’re only as happy as your least happy child?” Hypnotherapy has helped me personally as a parent; it’s helped me stay calm so that instead of falling down the hole with my child I can remain positive and help pull them out. These experiences as a parent led me to volunteer for Young Minds on the parents’ helpline. This experience has given me a very good understanding of a wide range of problems facing our young people today.
What I love about hypnotherapy is that it gets to the root cause of an issue – the part of the brain where everything is automatic. What I love about Hypno4Children is that as well as the hypnotherapy there are a range of tools that will help build resilience for life. So together this is very powerful.

Hello I’m Jess; clinical psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and hypno4children practitioner, specialising in the solution focused approach.
My background is in education (PGCE, TESOL and MA in Education) and prior to becoming a therapist I worked for many years with children and young people in educational settings, very often taking on pastoral responsibilities. I now work from my private clinic in Knowle, Solihull running Calm Collective Therapy. I am also a mother to two young daughters, a role which has highlighted the importance of giving children strong foundations for mental health from a young age and has also opened my eyes to the challenges young people may face. I am passionate about empowering younger generations and helping them to feel mentally strong enough to take on the complexities of young life whilst navigating school, friendships, social media and more!
My therapeutic approach is solution focused, gentle, individual and empathetic. I use a powerful combination of psychotherapy (talking therapy) and trance (hypnosis), implementing the very best elements of CBT, NLP and mindfulness. As a hypno4children practitioner, I use the MINDHACK and STUDYCALM frameworks to help young people gain a deeper understanding of their brain and how they can work with it; not against it. Sessions are fun, engaging and practical and young people will come away with a mental health ‘toolbox’ that will not only help them overcome their current issues, but equip them for life!
