Please view the video above to gain more insight into paediatric mindfulness /hypnosis and how it can help...
Sessions take up to 1 hour depending on the age of the young person, 45 mins with younger age groups.
During the session the therapist will gently build rapport and get to know the young person, this can be done by various techniques depending on age.
Sand tray therapy is a calm and non-directed way to develop conversation and build trust. Children often find it difficult to talk, open up and really understand their worries and anxieties, this tool is a great way to encourage talk and conversation.
Another approach which works well with older age groups, is the use of talk cards, using no direct questions, enables the young person to feel comfortable and in control to choose the topics such as "home" "family" "school" "friendships" as a starting point for discovery.
During this stage the therapist will learn more about the young person and decide together what area they wish to work on, focusing on the positive elements in their life which is built into the mindfulness / hypnotherapy session. During the session we do not regress, we focus on future outcomes and work on alternative healthier coping strategies which prevent the root cause for certain behaviours or worries which prevent us from living a healthy life.
Behind every behaviour is an emotion. It can be anger, sadness, happiness, excitement, boredom, resentment, love, relief, disappointment, guilt or fear...just to name a few...
For younger children who need parental support the route for mindfulness / hypnotherapy will be discussed and agreed together.
