From a Grandparent about their 11 year old grandson;
“Our Grandson was suffering from a number of issues which just seemed to be getting worse;
– Bullying
– Poor school attendance
– Anorexia – At worst, spent many days in hospital. Now he continues with controlled eating and is improving
– Autism – Lack of ability to concentrate on normal school work but able to hyper concentrate on things that mattered to him
– Finds it hard to mix socially and has communication problems
– Occasional bouts of severe anxiety.
Help was very hard to find and often not readily available, the waiting lists were 2-3 years.
Then we found NLP for kids which provides an understanding and safe one-to-one environment for developing a personalised development plan that helps in so many different areas.
I have seen a satisfyingly marked improvement in my grandson’s condition, he is happy again, eating, sleeping, living a much better life and attending school every day.
Thank goodness for Zoe at NLP4kids, it certainly seems to be the way forward.”
From some children in a Year 6 class having a “Transition to Secondary School Workshop”
There was a significant difference between their overall confidence scores before and after the session.
Everything I learnt was so important, I will be much happier, Zoe was very helpful and kind and explained things very well. I found the Happy Button exercise the most useful.”
“I feel that now I wont get as hung up on the bad things.”
“The most important thing I learnt is that you can affect your own outcomes.”
“Zoe is funny, I liked how interactive the session was.”
“The most useful thing I learnt was ways to make yourself more confident and that you can turn around the outcome of the day. I will be more confident, Zoe was very cheerful and engaging and she explained things so well.”
“The most important thing I learnt was how to feel more confident about going to big school.”
“I learnt how to calm myself down.”
“I feel so much better about going to secondary school now.”
From a client with a significant phobia of spiders, nothing has helped so far!
“We came to Zoe to help with a crippling phobia which was starting to impact the whole of family.
I didn’t know much about NLP therapy but Zoe explained it all so well, so it was easy to understand and know what to expect.
Zoe has a mix of calm professionalism and a great sense of humour that makes the sessions engaging and really made me open up and be receptive.
The very next day after my first session I could calmly approach a huge spider and use the glass and card technique. I feel less anxious and more in control and am looking forward to seeing how far I can go within my short course of sessions – it’s such an empowering feeling!
I also learnt loads of helpful techniques that can be transferred to many other situations that cause anxiety or stress.
I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough!”
The impact of increased anxiety on families can be huge.
I had a call from a worried Mum about her daughter who was in year 8. Her daughter had become upset, withdrawn and very reluctant to go to school. It was affecting sleep, the balance in the household, and generally everything, and the level of stress was becoming overwhelming.
It was amazing to meet this client, after a few sessions the difference was amazing, this case made me realise why I love what I do, how well it works and why it is so valuable. Receiving a message saying “Thank you, I feel like I’ve got my daughter back with the tear-filled emoji meant the world to me!
Here are the testimonials from Mum and child;
From Mum
“I cannot believe the change in B and the change in her at home. After the very first session with Zoe I could see on the journey home how much lighter B felt after being able to open up and express how she was feeling about her anxieties around school. Zoe worked with B to really help her to understand how she is able to control her own thoughts and feelings but not those around her, which has really helped B to be more present and be in control of her day. I have noticed B has begun to do the things that make her happy again like dancing and playing with her younger siblings, things B has begun to avoid due to how she was feeling around school and letting those feelings control her everyday activities.
Even when B had a wobble one morning, she was able to implement the strategies she learnt from Zoe and got to school and felt so proud of herself, this was so wonderful to see. I would highly recommend Zoe as she has been able to help B take control of her own thoughts and feelings and the improvement has been wonderful to see.
Thank you Zoe”
From B
“At first I really struggled with going to school and actually being able to enjoy it. But after the first session, Zoe helped me express how I felt about school and think of ways that I can control how I feel and made strategies to help. After the next two sessions I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my chest as I had opened up more and Zoe worked with me to cope with my thoughts about school. I’m using the steps we spoke about and they have really helped so far. Even when I had the thought of staying home one day, good feelings and thoughts overcame the negative ones and I got up and went to school and I felt so proud of myself.
I am so pleased my Mum found Zoe, she has helped me so much”.
