Helping Children & Teenagers

 

Is your child or young person suffering from stress?

 

Not doing as well at school as they could?

 

Being bullied in person or online?

 

Easily gets emotional upset?

 

We live in an age where children and young adults are pressurized academically and socially. Competition to look good, perform well at school or college, and eventually get a good job are intense. The growth of social media has good and bad influences too on mental health at a time when the normal difficulties of adolescence are occurring. Youngsters often need a little help to build their confidence and self-belief.

 

Alan has on occasions been a volunteer business mentor to students in a Scarborough secondary school.

 

He has also trained as an Educational Performance Practitioner which is designed to help build skills to aid teachers and students in preparing for examinations by using simple relaxation and concentration techniques. Although primarily for Year 11 students as they prepare for their GCSE examinations, all students from aged 10 upwards can benefit.

 

Often students to over-emphasize their weakness, rather than their strengths. In particular they can become easily discouraged by any form of negative criticism. Alan helps 're-engineer' this thinking to give students simple coping means of reducing anxiety. So they perform at their very best.

 

Young persons aged about six years old and into their late teens can be very effectively treated with hypnotherapy. There is a wide range of conditions which can be addressed in just a few sessions.

 

Children can have many fears, for example: fear of the dark, fear of medical procedures, fear of going to sleep because of nightmares. Some children have habits they can't break, like nail biting or bed-wetting.

 

The birth of a child in a family can also cause concern for older children, where there is a shift in the sharing of time and affections between children.

 

Children can also suffer emotionally if there is a break up in the parental relationship (separation or divorce), ongoing problems between parents, or a single parent struggling with bring up children.

 

Sometimes, the emotionally effect can be life-long unless the issues are addressed in childhood.

 

A specialist hypnotherapy technique has been developed for use with children and teenagers. It is a gentle therapy which produces positive results quickly. In this the young person is not required to describe any underlying causes which has created their symptoms. They are able to non-verbally release their feelings.

 

Where the young person is under the age of 16 years they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
