Calm Kids

Individual One to One Therapy Sessions

An initial free consultation of 20 minutes to discuss the area of concern is available, for both the carer and child (at my practice in Stopsley, Luton). It enables you, the carer to gain an understanding of the process and your child feel comfortable in the surroundings. This is important so that we can move forward together with confidence. Interacting and listening to your child and allowing them to express themselves when they feel safe to do so is a very important part of the therapy. Your child will need to have freedom of speech without worrying about your reactions, and for this reason carers will be in an adjoining room to your child and me. Sessions are of one hour duration. You can always phone for progress updates and to make appointments.

The first session consists of my talking with your child to find out their perspective of the problem and I teach them how to use EFT, by tapping on themselves or a surrogate teddy bear. If they have difficulty in expressing themselves they can make a ‘mood map’ which uses colours and words to show me how they are feeling. NLP techniques help with the ‘talking’ process to discover the root cause of the problem. Patience is another important aspect of therapy because children aren’t always aware of the underlying issues and so a gentle approach is used and their confidence increases at a rate that they are happy with, to disclose their concerns. Having discovered the root cause I then decide on which therapies are suitable to empower them to make the necessary changes to their ‘thoughts and behaviours’, resulting in a calm child with more control over their emotions.

Reiki 4 Kids

I teach children Reiki so they can use it on themselves and others when in pain or distress. Reiki training for children consists of one attunement with all three reiki I symbols… the child and parent will need to sign a consent form.

One day training for children ages 6-11 12-16 (Reiki I)

EFT Meeting (Tapping Group)

Meetings are held once a month and children can come just once, or as many times as they feel they need. Children bring along their concerns and we all tap together to release these. EFT enables them to instantly work on an difficulty when it arises, taking away the distress and pain involved. Should the problems re-occur then it is an issue that we need to work on together on a one to one basis.
