About Me
Hi, I’m Heidi. I’m an Child NLP Practitioner based in Bath, Somerset.
I provide therapy to children and teens struggling with emotional and mental well-being. Through 1:1 sessions or workshops, I give kids tools and strategies to help them cope better with challenges such as anxiety, phobias, depression, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, exam stress, and more.
As a parent who needed help for my own child, I discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and saw how effective they were. Several friends and I, whose children have struggled with anxiety, found this form of therapy extremely helpful. With such positive and remarkable experiences amongst friends and family and a desire for a more fulfilling career, I decided to qualify as an NLP practitioner and open my own practice, specialising in children and teens.
“NLP gave me the support for my child I was searching for but couldn’t find anywhere else.”
My experience clarified how much children could benefit from better tools to help them process and overcome emotional challenges. This approach helps put children back in a positive mindset, build their confidence and empower them to take control of their thoughts and feelings.
What especially appealed to me about NLP was how solution-focused it is. The process is so appropriate for children as there is no need to spend time dwelling on past trauma. Each session is client-led and tailored to meet the individual’s needs, offering kids practical skills, tools, and techniques to help overcome challenges. I also love that these NLP methods can be used right away to make changes and are long-lasting. Kids can use them whenever they need to deal with future emotional challenges life inevitably throws at them.
I give my clients the resources they need to manage their emotional and mental states now instead of allowing habits to become entrenched, which can cause further mental health problems. I want to have more solutions-focused tools for life available to children as early as possible. There are waiting lists up and down the country and an overwhelming need for child’s mental health support. I want to live in a world where kids can get help more quickly.
