HOW I CAN HELP
My approach delivers practical and immediate solutions that empower children to take charge of their emotions, helping them to dispel unhelpful and negative thoughts that contribute to self-limiting beliefs. Children tend to respond exceptionally well to NLP therapy, as they are less conditioned than adults, making them more open to transformation and self-improvement. Unlike conventional talk therapy, which can be a lengthy endeavour when pursued in isolation, NLP prioritises real-world solutions to pressing issues. Therapeutic sessions are concise and effective, generally lasting between 4 and 8 sessions.
In my child therapy practice in Billingshurst near Horsham, Sussex, or online, I can help your child sit in the driving seat of their emotions and create better outcomes.
I believe that every child deserves to be living their best life, and we can work together in Billingshurst, Sussex (or online!) to make this happen.
I offer a free 45 minute consultation where I can meet you and your child and discuss the concerns you have. I will assess the level of motivation to change, this is a key element of child therapy using NLP techniques and drawing on my 20 years of experience of working with children.
WHY NLP?
In simple terms, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of techniques and beliefs that explore the connection between our mind and thought processes, the words and language we use and behavioural patterns learned through experience.
It shares some similarities with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which also employs a structured approach to address unhelpful beliefs that children or teenagers may hold about themselves or their surroundings. However, NLP sets itself apart by being highly client-focused. While it also aims to challenge negative thought patterns, it places a significant emphasis on fostering a positive mindset and encouraging children to envision their potential and what they can achieve, putting them more in control of their outcomes.
In my therapy practice located in Billingshurst, close to Horsham, I offer effective strategies designed to assist children and teenagers in navigating emotional difficulties. My goal is to help them shift away from negative thinking patterns, alter unproductive behaviours, and boost their confidence and self-esteem. This, in turn, empowers them to unlock their full learning potential and embrace a more positive lifestyle. My therapeutic approaches encompass all facets of neuro-diversity, including ADHD and Autism.
MY GOALS FOR YOUR CHILD
As a certified NLP4Kids practitioner located in Horsham, Sussex, my goal in assisting your child is to:
- Guiding the child in recognising and navigating their feelings with confidence.
- Providing the child with tools to tackle obstacles and bounce back from difficulties.
- Fostering a sense of curiosity about their passions, skills, and dreams to enhance their growth.
- Encouraging the child to express their thoughts and feelings clearly.
- Supporting the child in developing a positive self-image and confidence.
- Identifying and modifying any problematic behaviours through constructive strategies
At my practice in Billingshurst, near Horsham, I prioritise adapting my methods to suit the specific requirements of each child, creating a safe and encouraging atmosphere for their exploration and personal growth.
MY GOALS FOR PARENTS
- You will gain more insight into your child’s behaviour.
- You will learn strategies to cope with challenges such as sibling rivalry, homework hassles, anger and anything else that affects your family relationships.
- You will learn how to communicate more effectively with your child, be more in control and avoid conflict.
My child therapy skills are designed and adapted from the effective techniques in NLP to help children to become better able to manage their own emotional states, to become inspired and motivated by the learning opportunities that are offered to them.
The techniques I use are delivered in a way that is fun and easy for children to understand, encouraging them to co-operate more effectively with others as well as improving their confidence and commitment when working individually.
Children are much easier patients than adults as their minds are more open to the idea of improvement. They have not received the same conditioning from life that adults have. This means that results occur much more quickly when working with children.
