Find a Trusted Expert in Hypnotherapy for Children

When your child is facing emotional or behavioural challenges, it’s natural to want support that’s both effective and reassuring. That’s where The International Society of Paediatric Hypnotherapists can help. Our register connects parents with qualified professionals who specialise in hypnotherapy for children, making it easier to find the right help in your area.

All hypnotherapists listed here have completed our in-depth diploma course, which is designed specifically for working with children and young people. They are fully insured, quality checked, and trained to understand the unique needs of younger clients — from toddlers through to teenagers.

Our programme was created by Paul White, a pioneer of paediatric hypnotherapy in the UK. With over 25 years of experience, Paul has helped shape how hypnotherapy can be used safely and effectively with children. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, sleep issues, phobias, habits like nail biting or thumb-sucking, or difficulties around eating or confidence, you can feel confident that a TISPH therapist will know how to help.

Our aim is to reduce the barriers to good support. We believe that hypnotherapy for children should be accessible, gentle, and tailored to each child. That’s why every therapist in our register has specialist training and follows strict standards to ensure the highest level of care.

Choosing the Right Hypnotherapist for Your Child

Finding a hypnotherapist through TISPH means you’re already in safe hands, but it’s still important to make sure the practitioner feels like a good fit for your child. Every child is different, and a warm, trusting connection can make all the difference to the success of the therapy.

Hypnotherapy for children works best when your child feels comfortable, supported, and understood. Asking the right questions can help you feel confident that the therapist you’ve chosen is a good match.

Here are some helpful things you might want to ask when you make contact:
  • What experience do you have working with children of this age?
    This helps you understand how familiar they are with your child’s stage of development.
  • How do you adapt your sessions to suit children or teenagers?
    A good paediatric hypnotherapist will tailor their approach to match your child’s personality, interests, and attention span.
  • How do you help children feel comfortable in sessions?
    Feeling safe and relaxed is key for hypnotherapy for children to work well, especially for younger children.
  • Can you give me an idea of how many sessions might be needed?
    This gives a sense of the likely commitment, while acknowledging that each child’s progress is individual.
  • What happens if my child doesn’t want to engage on the day?
    A therapist used to working with children will understand that not every session goes to plan and will have ways to gently support your child through it.
  • Do you give guidance to parents about how to support the process at home?
    Involving parents can sometimes help reinforce progress between sessions.

Remember, you’re allowed to ask questions. A TISPH-registered therapist will be happy to answer them and help you decide if they’re the right match for your child.
