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 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.
If you’re seeking ways to help your child thrive then please get in touch. I offer a free initial 20 minute chat with parents, followed by a brief meeting with your child to ensure comfort and compatibility in our work together. I can’t wait to work with you!

Caroline Sutton - HPD AFSFH RGN
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.

Hello, it’s Emma Newman here. Please let me introduce myself.
I’m 42, premenopausal, married, mummy of 2, a 4yr old girl and 6yr old boy. I’m also a fur mummy to 2 cats and a puppy.
I am a breast cancer survivor, dyslexic, bit daft, but super knowledgeable in my field of work as a therapist.
I use solution focused hypnotherapy and psychotherapy in my sessions to help my clients. I help children as young as 4 to teenagers age 18 I have been helping with children’s (and adults) mental health for over 10 years, however I have refreshed and updated my training with the wonderful Hypno4Children teaching program to give me even better tools and knowledge to specifically help children. I love their approach and tools to helping young minds and enjoy using these in my sessions- breath works, StudyCalm, Tapping techniques and MINDHACK programme!
I work from my parents lovely conservatory in Middleton which is handy for people from all over the area and even further afield because I’m only 5 minutes from the motorway. I also have online sessions, which is a really easy and accessible way of receiving excellent therapy!
I have a 5-star Google and Facebook rating. In my spare time I love having my nails done and enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

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.

Ashling Coxon - DSFH (AfSFH) HPD (MNCH Reg) CNCH
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.
For more information please contact me either directly or through my website.

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.

Jessica Redgrave - (HPD, CNCH Reg, PGCE, MA)
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!
If you would like to find out more please see my website and get in touch with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Swansea, Online
With a background in both general and psychiatric nursing in South Africa and the U.K., I have spent many years helping others through life’s challenges, including raising my three (now adult) children. After many fulfilling years as a stay-at-home mom and deciding not to return to nursing, I decided to study counselling and completed Level 3 with the intention of progressing to Level 4. However, I truly found my niche when I had the opportunity to undertake hypnotherapy training—and I’ve never looked back. I was excited to see the results – eg all my clients lost weight with my virtual gastric band at the time which really showed me how powerful the mind is. Most recently, I completed the highly regarded Hypno4Children program. This training has deepened my passion for helping children and young adults navigate the unique challenges of today’s world, from the pressures of social media to the emotional toll of bullying.
I take pride in offering a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where clients of all ages feel truly heard and understood. Whether I’m supporting a child struggling to find their confidence, helping a young adult overcome anxiety, or assisting someone in achieving lasting weight loss through slimming hypnosis and techniques such as the virtual gastric band, my approach is always compassionate and tailored to the individual.
Nothing is more rewarding to me than seeing my clients break free from limitations and embrace their full potential. I would love to work with you or your family members on their journey to a brighter, more empowered future.
Let’s take the first step together.
