CONFESSION TIME...
I NEVER really wanted to work with children, but over the years, after helping 100s of adults effectively with anxiety, I started getting calls from people saying,
“thanks for helping me with this issue, but my 10 year old daughter has an issue, could you help her?”
And, for a number of years, I would reply, "sorry I just don’t work with children."
BUT after a while of turning these down, I started asking myself why not?
Well the answer was obvious...
No one had shown me how to apply these skills and tools directly to work with children.
I didn't have a certificate that said I could [eyeroll].
Surely the stuff I did with adults wouldn't translate to the younger mind... you had to have some advanced psychological processing abilities right?
But I did start getting curious…
COULD I help an anxious child?
So the next time an enquiry came through, instead of saying, "I don’t work with children", I started saying that I hadn’t previously worked with children but was thinking about moving into that area and I’d be happy to explore a session if they were up for it. PAST CLIENTS particularly were up for me having a go with their kids and... I DISCOVERED SOMETHING...
it turned out I happen to be really good at helping children.
Maybe, it’s because deep down I’m a just big kid at heart… or maybe it’s because I used to be children’s party entertainer when I was young, who knows... but once I helped a few kids the next thing I knew is the phone started ringing...
“My friend told me about the work you did with their daughter… can you help my son too?”
AND SO IT BEGAN.
I had tapped into not just an extra source of revenue but I had also unlocked some of the most fun and rewarding sessions I have ever had the privilege of doing.
Let me be clear… I don’t work with 8 year olds and under (although I have done a little bit).
However, I’m specifically talking about 9 plus years olds and I seem to have a real knack these days of building rapport with them and helping them create change.
To help those younger than that I ended up writing a children’s book aimed at helping 4-9 year olds understand why sometimes they may become afraid of things that posed no threat.
A book called “THE RUSTLE OF LEAVES” which ended up getting spotted by the National Literacy Trust during children's mental health week (which they did a feature on).
BUT this ended up causing even more parents to reach out to me.
These days, around a third of the work I do is with children and it’s time to share some of my strategies so that others can work in this way too.

This workshop will be packed with practical ideas, tools, tips, strategies all backed up with real stories of change.
And you’ll learn how to apply these ideas so that you can better help children with a wide range of anxiety/phobia related issues as well as things like bedwetting, nail-biting or other unwanted habits.
As well as breaking down how to structure a session, deal with parents, build response potential and much more...
AND I WILL ALSO BE SHARING...
About Howard Cooper
Leading Hypnotherapist & Anxiety Specialist
Howard Cooper is known for helping people create RAPID shifts in their thinking and over the last 22 years he has worked with 1000s of individuals. He rejects the notion that deep & lasting change has to take a long time and, over the years, he's seen some incredible transformations. He has worked on 'Virgin Atlantic's Flying Without Fear' course, writes magazine columns, talks about change on LBC and even hosts his own podcast (Rapid Change Matters) to name a few. All this has gone into the "melting pot", that is Howard's experience, which he is now keen to share with others in the business. Howard is also the creator of 'THE WILLINGNESS LADDER®' (a set of questions that take people from "I don't want this experience" to " I can look forward to this experience)
However, Howard has also been working with children (9 years plus) for the last 10 years and is the author of the children’s book “The Rustle of Leaves” (which is a beautifully illustrated short rhyming tale that helps 4 - 9 year olds understand how sometimes we become anxious about things that pose no threat). On the back of this he has been into a number of schools running workshops on how to beat anxiety.
Additionally, when he was young Howard worked as a magician, juggler and children’s party entertainer so has a lot of experience in managing the responses of children.
Much of Howard's work in recent years has been inspired by Jørgen Rasmussen's Psychological Illusion Model and Howard sees Jørgen as a close friend and an ongoing mentor in this industry.

FAQ's
Who is this training for?
Any therapist who would like to better help children overcome issues could benefit from this workshop. (Including NLP'ers, Hypnotherapists, Psychotherapists, Counsellers)
Who shouldn't attend?
If you are looking for a way to just present yourself as someone who can FIX a child then this is likely NOT for you. This is NOT a watch swinging, bosch them into a trance and tell them they are fixed, kind of approach. The thrust is helping children discover more about the nature of thought and teaching self-efficacy so they can transform the relationship with their thinking.
Is this WORKSHOP for parents of anxious children?
Whilst many of the strategies could be artfully employed by parents with their own children, it's not primarily a workshop on parenting at all. In fact, it can be hard to "therapize" your own kids and therefore this is primarily focused on changeworkers.
What ages of children do you work with?
Let me be clear… I don’t work with 8 year olds and under (although I have done a little bit).
However, I’m specifically talking about 9 plus years olds and I seem to have a real knack these days of building rapport with them and helping them create change.
To help those younger than that I ended up writing a children’s book aimed at helping 4-9 year olds understand why sometimes they may become afraid of things that posed no threat.
A book called “THE RUSTLE OF LEAVES” which ended up getting spotted by the National Literacy Trust during children's mental health week (which they did a feature on).
What if I can't make the date? Will it be recorded?
Yes! As it's happening digitally via ZOOM. We will be recording the event for those who can't attend live. However, we have no plans to release it as a stand-alone product and will only be distributing the replay to those who sign up ahead of time and secure their place.
