Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-informed therapeutic approach that supports emotional wellbeing, behaviour change, and personal growth for children aged 6 and above, adolescents, and adults.

At Sprout in Motion, hypnotherapy is used as a guided, relaxed state of focused attention. It is not mind control. Clients remain fully aware, in control, and able to stop or adjust the process at any time. This calm and focused state allows individuals to access inner resources, build insight, and create positive change in a safe and supportive environment.

    Helping children manage emotions such as anxiety, anger, and sadness through coping strategies and self-awareness techniques.

    • Anxiety, phobias, panic symptoms, and feelings of loneliness
    • Daily stress and academic or work-related pressure
    • Performance anxiety (exams, public speaking, stage performances)
    • Trauma-related experiences, including bullying
    • Specific phobias (e.g. fear of flying, animals, enclosed spaces)
  • Relationship and Life Transition Adjustment

    Support during emotionally challenging transitions, including:

    • Relationship difficulties (heartbreak, divorce, relationship breakdown)
    • Family and interpersonal conflicts
    • Grief and loss (passing of family members, friends, or pets)
    • Major life setbacks (e.g. financial or career disruption)
    • Life direction planning, goal-setting, and decision-making

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hypnotherapy safe for children?

Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, gentle approach when delivered by a trained professional. For children aged 6 and above, sessions are adapted to their developmental level and often use imagination, storytelling, and age-appropriate language. Children remain aware and in control throughout the session.

Will my child (or I) lose control during hypnotherapy?

No. Hypnotherapy is not mind control. Clients stay conscious, aware, and able to stop or change the process at any time. It is a state of focused attention and relaxation—similar to daydreaming or becoming absorbed in a story.

What concerns can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy may support concerns such as anxiety, stress, phobias, trauma-related experiences, sleep difficulties, emotional regulation, habit change, confidence building, and personal growth. It can be used on its own or alongside other therapies when appropriate.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions varies depending on the individual’s goals, age, and needs. Some clients notice changes within a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. A personalised plan is discussed after the initial consultation.
