Growing Stronger, Together: Therapy Solutions for Children & Teenagers
Therapy for Children | At Therapy to Freedom, I understand that a child’s world is full of discovery and learning. Yet, amidst this journey of growth, today’s children, especially teens, are more likely to encounter stress and anxiety than before. With social media, pressures on children at school, social pressures and the Covid-19 pandemic; our children now have a lot of stuff to navigate through that they aren’t always equipped to deal with. Added to that, we as parents, don’t always deal with our own feelings that well either. Therefore kids today need some help; a fresh and empowering approach to overcoming their difficulties and one that works!
Help for Children & Teenagers at Therapy to Freedom
My approach to therapy is rooted in understanding and transforming the core thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that contribute to the issue at hand. Through a gentle, imaginative process, we help children find their path to freedom from various challenges. Our method involves three crucial steps:
Identifying the Problem: Every journey begins with understanding the unique challenges your child faces. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, or a behavioural issue, recognising the problem is the first step towards healing.
Establishing New Behaviours: Through the power of subconscious therapy, we guide children towards adopting new positive beliefs about themselves, replacing the ones that have been holding them back.
Making the Change Automatic: My goal is to ensure that these new behaviours become a natural part of your child’s life, leading to lasting change.
Difficulties Resolved Through Therapy: Subconscious therapy is effective in addressing many difficulties that children face, including but not limited to:
- Stress and Anxiety
- Low confidence and self esteem
- Low Mood and Self-Harm
- Phobias
- Anger Management
- Bedwetting (Enuresis)
- Nail Biting
- Sleep Difficulties
- Concentration Issues
- Challenges Stemming from Divorce or Changes in the Family Dynamic
- Exam Nerves and Performance difficulties
The sessions access the subconscious mind and this completely safe, widely used and extremely effective method helps children to effectively deal with their feelings and beliefs in the most quickest, efficient and effective method available. Most problems are resolved within one sessions, making therapy an accessible solution for busy families.
Why Choose Subconscious Therapy? Children’s innate ability to imagine and visualise makes therapy an especially effective modality for them. Through visualisation and other creative methods, we tap into this natural capacity to bring about profound, positive changes. Unlike traditional therapies, subconscious therapy for children is:
- Fast-acting and engaging
- Tailored to address the child’s specific difficulties, needs, and wishes of how they want to feel about their selves in future.
- Helps them to give them increased self-esteem and confidence in their selves and their ability.
- Helps them to achieve their goals and lead a happier life.
During the sessions, a parent or carer will be involved in the consultation process, however, during the session, I ask that they leave the room and wait nearby in another room once the child is comfortable. This is because your child will more than likely hold back their thoughts, words and emotions for not wanting to upset you and therefore the session will not be as effective. After the session, we can have a debrief together of how your child is feeling following the session and I will advise regarding listening to their recording and follow-up check-in sessions.
A Journey of Belief Transformation I feel it’s best in my experience to avoid using the word therapy with children so that they don’t think that there is something wrong with them. Therefore, instead, I prefer to use the words “transforming and updating their current feelings and beliefs into more helpful and positive ones”.

RTT Childrens & Teenager Therapy
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) introduces a forward-thinking approach to children’s mental health and emotional well-being. It uniquely combines the principles of subconscious therapy with the latest insights from neuroscience to offer a comprehensive healing modality.
By weaving together the most effective techniques from therapy, psychotherapy, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), RTT creates a distinctive method that speaks directly to children’s needs and challenges. This integration facilitates a therapy that is both engaging and deeply transformative for young minds.
RTT is known for its ability to bring about swift and enduring change. It is particularly adept at uncovering and addressing the root causes of various issues that children might face, ranging from anxiety and stress to behavioural challenges and self-esteem issues.
The therapy is structured to identify effective strategies quickly, drawing on successful outcomes from sessions with real clients. The foundation of RTT, developed by Marisa Peer, lies in its repetitive use of specific techniques designed to empower and heal.
This repetition reinforces positive messages and behaviours, leading to significant improvements in a child’s mental health and overall well-being.

Got Any Questions About Our Child & Teenager Therapy Services?
Can I stay in the session with my child
This is not recommended practice, as having parents present can likely cause situations in which the child may hold back and supress their thoughts, words and emotions for not wanting to upset or worry their parent or guardian. However we will have discussions together beforehand so that you can make sure your child is happy and comfortable before you leave the room. We will also have a debrief afterwards to discuss how you child is feeling following the session and advice around listening the their recording and follow up calls. I have an enhanced DBS check, if you would like to see this before the session please ask.
Why might a teenager need therapy?
Teenagers face numerous challenges as they navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. Academic pressures, social dynamics, family changes, and personal identity exploration can all contribute to stress, anxiety, or emotional struggles. Therapy provides a safe space where teens can express their thoughts, work through their emotions, and learn effective coping skills.
Common Reasons Teenagers Seek Therapy:
- Anxiety or stress related to school, exams, or social situations.
- Low self-esteem or negative self-image.
- Difficulty managing emotions, such as anger or sadness.
- Struggles with friendships, relationships, or family dynamics.
- Coping with life changes, such as divorce, moving, or loss.
Therapy helps teenagers build resilience and develop healthy behaviours to navigate these challenges.
How is therapy for teenagers different from therapy for adults?
Therapy for teenagers is specifically tailored to their developmental stage and unique needs. Adolescents often have different emotional and cognitive processes than adults, requiring a more adaptable and relatable approach.
Key Differences Include:
- Communication Style: Therapists use language and techniques that are approachable and age-appropriate, ensuring teens feel comfortable and understood.
- Focus Areas: Therapy for teenagers often addresses issues like identity development, peer relationships, and academic pressures, which may not be as prominent in adult therapy.
- Parental Involvement: Depending on the situation, parents may be involved in sessions to improve family communication and support. However, confidentiality for the teen is always respected.
Teen-focused therapy creates a supportive environment that fosters trust and encourages personal growth.
Is it safe ?
Yes subconscious therapy is completely safe . During the session your child will feel in a very relaxed state after listening to a guided meditation and will therefore be able to concentrate more clearly and their thoughts, beliefs and feelings about their selves will come to the surface. Then, and only if they want to, they can look at these in the session and with my guidance they can figure out how these beliefs were formed, what they mean and whether they are helpful or harmful to them. I then help them to reframe and replace any unhelpful negative beliefs with positive ones, which in turn, will help them to overcome the issue they were initially struggling with.
What types of therapy are most effective for teenagers?
Several evidence-based therapeutic approaches are effective for teenagers, depending on their individual needs and challenges.
Common Approaches Include:
- Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Teach teens to manage stress and stay present in the moment.
- Subconscious Therapy: Addresses deep-seated beliefs and emotional challenges at the subconscious level, helping teens overcome fears or self-doubt.
- Family Therapy: Improves communication and resolves conflicts within the family, creating a more supportive home environment.
Your therapist will work with the teen and their family to determine the best approach for their specific needs.
Will I be involved in my teenager’s therapy sessions?
Parental involvement in therapy varies based on the teenager’s needs and the nature of the challenges being addressed.
- Initial Sessions: Parents are often involved in the intake process to provide background information and insights.
- Ongoing Therapy: Depending on the situation, therapists may invite parents to participate in sessions focused on family dynamics or communication.
- Teen Privacy: It’s important for teens to feel safe sharing openly with their therapist. Confidentiality is respected, except in cases where safety concerns arise.
Your therapist will discuss the level of involvement and keep you informed about your teen’s progress, while maintaining their trust and privacy.
