Helping anxious children and teenagers feel calmer, more confident and more like themselves.
Watching your child struggle with anxiety can be incredibly difficult. They may seem overwhelmed, withdrawn, constantly worried, panicky or simply no longer like themselves.

Hi, I’m Gina Ross. I’m a clinical hypnotherapist, a DBT-informed practitioner and a mum of two girls.
I understand how upsetting it can be to watch your child struggle with anxiety, panic, overthinking or low confidence. You want to help, but it can be difficult to know what to say or do—especially when reassurance no longer seems to work.
My aim is to provide a calm, supportive space where children and teenagers can feel understood, learn practical ways to manage difficult emotions and begin to feel more confident and in control.
Anxiety can affect every part of a child or teenager’s life—from school, friendships and sleep to confidence, family life and everyday activities.
With the right support, young people can learn to understand their feelings, calm their nervous system and respond differently to anxious thoughts.
Many parents tell me they feel reassured after our very first consultation because they finally have a clearer idea of how their child can be supported.
Every child and teenager is different, so sessions are always adapted to their age, personality and individual needs.
I combine clinical hypnotherapy with practical, age-appropriate techniques to help young people:
For younger children, sessions may include imagination, stories, visualisation and simple calming techniques. With teenagers, I use a collaborative and respectful approach, helping them feel involved rather than feeling that therapy is something being done to them.
Parents are supported too. Depending on the child’s age and circumstances, I will explain how the process works and offer appropriate guidance while also respecting the young person’s privacy and trust.
Parents often tell me that, as their child begins to feel safer and more understood, they start to notice small but meaningful changes.
They may seem calmer, more confident, more willing to talk or better able to cope with situations that previously felt overwhelming.
Every young person is different, and progress happens at their own pace. My aim is to give them practical tools, confidence and support that they can continue using outside our sessions.
I know that reaching out can feel daunting—for both teenagers and parents.
My aim is to help your teenager feel safe, understood and never judged.
There is no pressure to talk before they’re ready. We work at a pace that feels comfortable for them, building trust and confidence one step at a time.
Your first appointment is designed to help both you and your teenager feel hopeful.
We’ll explore what’s been happening, discuss your goals and create a personalised plan that’s tailored specifically to your teenager.
You’ll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and if I don’t think I’m the right person to help, I’ll always be honest.
If you’d like to find out whether hypnotherapy could help your child or teenager, I’d be happy to talk things through with you.
A free 20-minute consultation gives us the opportunity to discuss what’s been happening, what support they may need and whether I’m the right person to help.
