Next stop… Antwerp

Next Thursday, I’ll be flying out to present at Hypnotic 2026. It’s my first time attending, which makes it even more special.

I’ll be sharing how storytelling, play & therapeutic techniques can gently support children to process emotions, build resilience & create meaningful behavioural change.

Because when we meet children in their world, through imagination, curiosity & connection, that’s where real transformation begins.

If you’re attending Hypnotic 2026, I’d love to connect while I’m there.

When children start to struggle with anxious thoughts & behaviours, anxiety isn’t the enemy.
It’s a signal.
Your child’s brain is trying to protect them…
It’s just working a little too hard.

Instead of trying to stop the feeling, try this
“What is this feeling trying to protect you from?”
Is it embarrassment?
Getting something wrong?
Being left out?

When children can learn to explain how they are feeling, they can start to understand it.

And that’s where real change begins 💛

Many of us don't know how to help or children who are struggling with anxiety.

We don’t help by pushing children into activities or something they are avoiding & we are not helping by letting them avoid everything either.

Children need small steps, gentle support & moving at their pace.
This is called gradual exposure.
It teaches the brain: “I can feel this & still be okay.”

Confidence doesn’t come from avoiding fear.
It comes from moving through it.
Baby steps forward matter...

Avoidance is anxiety’s most powerful tool.

When a child avoids something scary, it feels like relief.

But the brain learns:
“That situation was dangerous.” So next time, it feels even harder. And slowly, their world gets smaller. Things that were once manageable, start to feel impossible.

This is how anxiety takes over.

Tomorrow I’ll show you gentle approaches that actually helps.

Has your child ever asked you “Will something bad happen?”
And have you replied something like “No, I promise it won’t.”

It feels kind & it feels like the right thing to say.
In that very moment, it does help. But here’s what’s happening underneath.
Your child’s brain learns:
“I can only feel okay when someone gives me certainty.”
So the worry comes back & next time, they need reassurance again & again & again.

This is how anxiety quietly grows. It can grow at an alarming rate too.

I can help by teaching you and your child simple and easy to use techniques to help manage emotions such as anxiety.

If you feel your child needs some help, I offer a free initial consultation. I work online a well as in person.

Most parents I meet are doing everything with love.
And still, their child’s is struggling with anxiety.

Here’s something that might surprise you.
Sometimes what feels like the right response, is actually what keeps anxiety going.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong.
But because anxiety works in very specific ways.

Over the next few days, I’m going to gently walk you through 3 things that change everything when you understand them.

This could completely shift how you support your child.
Follow along this week if your child struggles with anxieties, worries, fears or overthinking.

Imagine having a special place inside your mind…
A place you can visit whenever you need to feel calm, safe and in control.
A place where you can pause, reset and reconnect with the very best version of you.

Now imagine if our children knew how to do this too…

This is exactly what I help my little clients discover.
Through the power of their imagination, they learn how to feel calmer, stronger and more confident, becoming the best version of themselves from the inside out.

Now that’s how I use hypnosis with children.
Interested?

Is Your Child Glued to a Screen?
It’s not just “a phase” & it’s not about bad parenting either.

Screens are designed to keep children hooked.
Fast rewards. Constant stimulation. Endless scrolling.

But over time, this can start to affect:
✨ Sleep
✨ Mood
✨ Confidence
✨ Focus
✨ Emotional regulation
And for many children and teens, switching off feels really hard.

What I see in my clinic are children feeling anxious when their device is taken away, teens struggling to cope with boredom or quiet time, big emotions, meltdowns & frustration.
Not because they’re “difficult”
Because their brains have become used to constant input.

The good news?
This can be gently reset.
With the right support, children can feel calmer without screens. learn to manage their emotions, build confidence away from devices & reconnect with the world around them..

If you’re noticing this at home, you’re not alone.
I work with children and teens to help them regain balance, feel more in control & build healthier habits, in a way that feels safe & supportive.

What a week it’s been so far….

A trip to Birmingham to deliver a wellbeing workshop (which I really enjoyed), followed by a full week of spending time with some truly lovely clients. It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. It’s not over yet! I have today & Saturday to look forward to.

I’ve also managed to squeeze in some much-needed catch-ups with friends. You know the kind that fill your cup right back up ☕

And there’s some very exciting news bubbling away behind the scenes, however I’m not quite ready to share just yet, but watch this space.

Plus, I’m starting to make some plans to bring my business closer to home. This is a new chapter I can’t wait for!

Grateful, excited & ready for what’s next.

Emotional Language: Helping children name feelings

Children can’t manage emotions they don’t understand.

A simple tool to use is communication. Start using everyday language like:
✨ “That looks frustrating”
✨ “I can see you’re worried”
✨ “That made you feel sad didn’t it?”

This helps children:
✨ Feel seen
✨ Build emotional awareness
✨Calm down quicker

The Power of Connection - Connection before correction

Children listen better when they feel understood.
Before correcting behaviour, give these simple actions a go:
✨ Get to their level
✨ Use their name
✨ Make eye contact

Simple Tool (30 seconds):
“Tell me what happened…” and actually listen. Listen to understand, not to respond!
Because, that one moment can change everything.

Try this today and notice the difference

Understanding Behaviour
Behaviour = Communication. This is important when helping children. Although we do sometimes feel angry or upset, it's vital we remain calm in these situations.

“Bad behaviour” is often just a child saying…
✨“I don’t feel safe”
✨ “I don’t understand this feeling”
✨ “I need help”

Simple Tool:
Next time a child reacts strongly, try this instead of correcting immediately:
“Something feels hard right now and I’m here to help”
This lowers their emotional response instantly.

Save this for when emotions are running high 💛
