A Safe Place for Support, Strategies, and Hope!
Concerned about your child’s well-being and want to help them reach their full potential?
As both a parent and an experienced CBT and NLP4Kids therapist, I understand how hard it is to watch your child battle with big emotions. To support families just like yours, I offer one-to-one coaching sessions in my private therapy room in Lifford-Strabane (convenient to Ballybofey and Letterkenny), as well as flexible online sessions via Zoom.
What makes NLP4Kids different? It’s a proven approach that gives children and young people practical tools to:
Manage anxiety and fears 💛
Build confidence and self-esteem 🌟
Express emotions in healthier ways 🌈
Break free from anger and defiance ⚡
Because every child’s journey is unique, each session is carefully tailored to their needs and goals. Sessions are designed to be solution-focused, compassionate, and effective—helping your child move forward with confidence.
Most families see lasting changes in just four to six sessions, far fewer than traditional play therapy. That’s because NLP4Kids is specifically designed to meet the developmental needs of children and teenagers, with targeted techniques that bring quicker progress and real transformation.
💡 Your child doesn’t have to feel “stuck.” With the right tools, they can thrive.
What age is NLP4Kids suitable for?
✨ If your child 7 or older and struggling with big emotions – NLP4Kids is designed exactly for them.
From primary school right through to teenage years and young adulthood, NLP4Kids provides flexible, practical tools that grow with your child.
✅ Techniques are highly adaptable, meeting children at their stage of development.
✅ They’re tailored to match your child’s age, personality, and communication style.
✅ They work in line with your child’s emotional and cognitive growth—from building confidence in younger children to managing stress and anxiety in teens.
💡 With NLP4Kids, your child gets support that’s not “one-size-fits-all,” but carefully matched to their unique journey.
For younger children, aged 7 to 10, I focus on using simple language, engaging activities, and visual aids to help them understand and apply the techniques. This age group often benefits from playful and interactive methods that make learning enjoyable and relatable.
For pre-teens and teenagers, the approach can be adjusted to include more advanced concepts and discussions, allowing them to explore their thoughts and feelings in greater depth. Techniques may involve more abstract thinking, goal setting, and problem-solving strategies that resonate with their evolving cognitive abilities.
With years of experience supporting children through ChildLine and as an NLP4Kids Practitioner, my true focus is helping young people with anxiety and depression. I work to shift their thoughts and emotions, reducing the urge to self-harm and fostering long-term emotional well-being.
