Hypno-Coaching for Kids
Helping kids get their mojo back with safe and effective hypnotherapy and coaching.
I don’t believe kids and teens should need to wait a year to see someone for mental health and wellbeing support.
Globally, it is estimated that 1 in 7 (14%) 10-19 year-olds experience mental health conditions(1), yet these remain largely unrecognized and untreated (World Health Organisation, NOV 2021). Since the start of the pandemic, children and adolescents presenting with anxiety and depression increased by at least 25% according to a number of international studies. I suspect this number is much higher and children continue to suffer in what some experts are calling the “shadow pandemic”.
You may need to be referred on but often, kids just need a well-qualified coach and therapist who will help them build skills where they have gaps and become better at self-managing their challenges and emotions . I have advanced techniques in my toolkit that lead to rapid results resolving anguish, self-loathing and tears in a matter of minutes. Most therapists ask a lot of why questions about the content and you may find yourself going over the same stories every week. I am more curious about how the child runs the patterns that are impacting their wellbeing. If you can understand how the pattern works, you can interrupt it and therefore change it.
Double-degree qualified in Education and Social Sciences in addition to applied psychology, I understand how school settings can impact children and can coach them so they thrive, rather than survive.
Sometimes children will need to be referred to other specialists, but often they just need some strategic coaching.

Similar process, different content.
Anxiety shows up in different ways in children, but the core patterns are largely the same. Your child may freeze, shut down and you can see the physical symptoms of their suffering. As a parent, this is hard to watch. It is difficult to know what to say, particularly when there is no evidence to support how they feel about themselves and live in general.
Anxiety is an inside job. The debilitating thinking patterns occur in your child’s mind and often manifest in their body. Anxious kids rehearse failure. They fear the unknown and the uncertain and typically catastrophise and make up what is going to happen in their minds.
This is not your child. It’s a series of patterns they are running and early intervention can really help them get back on track.
Lots of kids in therapy… not much changing for them.
Traditional approaches to treating depression and anxiety have a heavy focus on eliminating symptoms.
Interventions (i.e. counselling) that focus on content (the story) over process (the pattern) can actually maintain or increase anxiety over time.
What’s the result? Missed opportunities to shift patterns, introduce new perspectives and TEACH SKILLS! Life is uncertain, worry will pop up, 5,4,3,2,1 breathing typically doesn’t change much!
Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
“Most people know my son as the well-mannered, smiling boy, with little knowledge of how paralysing his inner voice has been. From the moment my son started his session, he felt safe and supported in her care. Her ability to connect with kids is incredible. Tania was able to tap into his world and give him the tools he needed to overcome his fears and patterns that were holding him back - she even used Minecraft terms during the hypnotherapy. This is not like anything I have experienced before. The transformation after just one session was incredible - we saw it in his high school interview, soccer and his confidence overall. Tania is incredible.”
