Services
Individual Coaching
Individual coaching sessions are tailored to address your child's unique challenges, equipping them with practical strategies to navigate difficulties with confidence. Through personalised guidance, I create a supportive environment where your child will develop the skills to overcome obstacles and build lasting resilience.
​
Our sessions delve into the fascinating workings of their mind, offering accessible insights into their thought patterns and emotional responses. This self-knowledge becomes their greatest tool —transforming confusion into clarity and helping them understand why they think and feel the way that they do.
​
With these insights, your child gains the ability to identify challenges, develop effective solutions and experience a profound sense of
self-awareness. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by their difficulties, they learn to approach them with confidence, curiosity and with a set proven techniques that promote lasting growth.

Parent Feedback
"Thank you Jane, I don't know what magic you wove when you spoke to X but she seems so much more grounded. She did not tell me what you spoke about but she said she was in a really bad mood before meeting you and felt SO much better afterwards. She is certainly a little lighter of spirit and has booked to go on the university ski trip!"
Denise O
"Jane, thanks to you, X has coped really well with her GCSEs. You totally transformed her view on it all and she used all the strategies you advised. I'm so grateful to you. Thank you, you made a massive difference.
Y11 Parent
"Jane has a very caring way and was a fantastic support for my son at a very difficult time, I cannot recommend her enough."
Jo W
"In Jane, my daughter has found someone to talk to who's not a peer or a parent. Jane gives new perspectives and practical tools. My daughter leaves every session lighter and happier and ready to tackle the world with more self belief than before. I highly recommend Jane."

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Hypnotherapy different for children?
Hypnotherapy for children is a bit different than for adults, mainly because children are usually more open to suggestion and have vivid imaginations. Instead of diving deep into complex issues, sessions often focus on fun and engaging methods like storytelling or games to help them relax and open up. Plus, it’s all about creating a safe space where they can express their feelings and learn to manage things like anxiety or stress in a playful way. Overall, it's a friendly approach that makes the healing process feel more like an adventure!
What to expect during my coaching session?
Using the MINDHACK wellbeing system we will crack open the mysteries of the mind and brain together. This equips children and teens with the fascinating knowledge of how their own mental machinery actually works, giving them the keys to unlock deeper self-understanding.​ Armed with these powerful insights, I help them pinpoint and transform the things that trouble them, rather than feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
MINDHACK doesn't just offer temporary fixes—it builds a rock-solid foundation of wellbeing strategies that young people can draw from throughout their entire lives, essentially giving them a mental toolkit they'll never outgrow.
What's the process for my coaching sessions?
Following a free consultation with the parent, we will initiate the coaching sessions. The initial session is to last 60 minutes, with subsequent sessions typically lasting 50 minutes each.
Recognising that each child has unique needs, we will develop a customised package tailored to them, generally consisting of 4 to 6 sessions. Follow-on Booster Sessions are often requested and welcomed by the children.
