Teen Issues

Smiling Kid

Teen Hypnotherapy

As a mum of two boys I understand the struggles first hand that kids face whilst growing up.   For 12 years I have been working with teens from 13 to 19 for all different types of problems with great success.

So let me ask you – is your teen struggling with stress, worries, bullying, anxieties, nightmares, phobias or fears, pain or unwanted and distressing habits? Do you have an angry teen, a lost teen?

What would you give to have a carefree teen who just enjoyed life – what would you give to see that smile again?

Because teens are naturally in a state of trance  up to about the age of 10 they find hypnosis really easy and the results are usually very good. That glazed look is trance (video games is a great example of what it looks and feels like to be in trance).  Remember hypnosis is a natural state that we as humans go into all the time.  Some common issues I deal with are:

  • Bullying – can be face to face or cyber bullying, we help the teens to develop resilience and self confidence
  • Stress and Anxiety –peer pressure, the competitive nature of school, fitting in, onset of puberty can often affect a teens ability to deal with stress and increase anxiety
  • Eating disorders –  obesity, over eating, cravings and body image
  • Parent/Child relationships – realising that the problem sometimes starts with the parents so the therapy may involve both teens and parents
  • Learning Difficulties – lacking motivation, focus and concentration
  • Fears and Phobias – Having a vivid imagination can create both negative and positive fantasies but they can also learn to take on the fear and phobias of others
  • Addictions, habits or the too much behaviours – usually because of a need to feel better about themselves
  • Abandonment – not getting the attention they need, feeling like they are not good enough

I only work with children over the age of 12 because the work I do is online and younger kids do not respond well to online therapy.

Each teen is treated as an individual and sessions are age appropriate. One of the great advantages in using hypnosis with teens is that there are no negative side effects. These techniques are calming, drug free and enjoyable for the teen. Most teens love coming to see me as I create a therapeutic story around the things they like and identify with.

Happy Kids

Other common problems that can be helped include:

  • Anger and Aggression
  • Sleep disorders
  • Bed wetting
  • Habits such as nail Biting, thumb sucking, coughing etc
  • Under eating and over eating
  • Bullying, not fitting in
  • Anxiety and Stress
  • Medical issues such as pain
  • Social problems
  • Fears and Phobias
  • Blushing
  • Shyness

Your child doesn’t need to carry childhood problems and issues into teen/adulthood, help is just a phone call away.
