🌟 Children’s Hypnotherapy
Empowering Young Minds to Thrive
“Guiding little hearts to believe in their worth and their dreams, nurturing them with the tools and magic to bloom into the joyful, vibrant adults they’re meant to be.”
🧸 Introduction: Helping Your Child Shine
As children grow, they take in everything around them—family expectations, social pressures, even beliefs they’ve picked up along the way. Sometimes, these early experiences can weigh heavily on their young shoulders and shape how they see themselves and the world.
I’m Teresa Saunders, and my passion is to empower children to reach their full potential, so they can thrive as confident, resilient, and amazing adults. Through gentle, supportive hypnotherapy, I help children let go of unhelpful beliefs, calm their worries, and discover the strength that’s always been inside them.
🌱 A Gentle Approach for Little Hearts
Children’s hypnotherapy may look different from adult sessions, and that’s perfectly okay. Every child is unique, and every session is shaped by who they are and what they need in the moment.
Some children enjoy stories, visualisations, or using their vivid imaginations. Others simply need a safe space to relax and feel heard. My focus is always on creating a warm, nurturing environment—where children feel safe, valued, and free to explore their feelings.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I trust children’s natural ability to heal and grow when they feel supported and understood.
✨ Why Work with Children?
✔️ Children are naturally open and curious – they’re often more receptive to positive change than we expect.
✔️ Early beliefs matter – by gently helping children release what doesn’t serve them, we can change their outlook for life.
✔️ Preventing generational trauma – empowering children to live their truth can break patterns that might otherwise be carried into adulthood.
🌈 The Power of Early Healing
Childhood can be full of wonder, but it’s also a time when children absorb beliefs and expectations that might not truly belong to them. Whether it’s family pressures, social conditioning, or early experiences that have left a mark, hypnotherapy can help children feel lighter, calmer, and more like themselves.
Supporting children at an early age can have a ripple effect—helping them develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of possibility that stays with them for life.

🌟 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is hypnotherapy safe for children?
🌿 Yes, absolutely. Children are naturally imaginative and often respond well to hypnotherapy when it’s done gently and with care. I create a safe, supportive environment where your child feels secure and understood.
Q: How old does my child need to be?
🌿 I work with children from as young as 4 years old.
Every child is unique, and I adapt my approach to meet
their needs and comfort level.
Q: What happens in a session?
🌿 Sessions are always tailored to your child.
Sometimes, it might involve simple relaxation,
gentle conversations, or playful imagery.
Other times, it might be as simple as creating
a calm space for your child to explore their
feelings. There’s no pressure—just a safe,
supportive experience.
Q: Do I need to stay in the room with my child?
🌿 Young children may need a little time to
settle in, and that’s perfectly okay. However, I
generally prefer to work with children one-on-one,
as they often open up more freely without a parent
present. You’re welcome to wait just outside, knowing
your child is safe and cared for.
Q: How many sessions will my child need?
🌿 This varies from child to child. Some children might feel positive
changes after just a few sessions, while others might need a little more time. We’ll move at your child’s pace and adjust as needed.
Q: Will my child remember the session?
🌿 Yes—hypnotherapy isn’t like sleep. Your child will be awake and aware the whole time, and they’ll remember as much or as little as they’d like. It’s a gentle, calming experience.
Q: What if my child doesn’t want to talk?
🌿 That’s perfectly fine. Some children are naturally more quiet or need time to open up. I meet them where they’re at—no pressure or expectations, ever.
🌟 A Final Note to Parents
I know it can feel overwhelming to think about your child’s struggles. Please know that children are wonderfully resilient—and when they have a safe, supportive space to process what’s going on, amazing things can happen.
My passion is to help children become the confident, thriving adults they’re meant to be. Together, we can plant the seeds for lifelong growth and happiness.
