#1 Best Rated Hypnotherapy in Gloucester 2024
Supporting families of neurodivergent children
to feel calm, connected and contented
When every morning starts in tears, every outing ends in overwhelm, and you’re constantly firefighting anxiety and meltdowns — it’s exhausting! It affects the whole family — emotionally, physically, and mentally. At Magic Minds Family Hypnotherapy, we help neurodivergent families break the cycle of stress and create a calmer, more connected, and contented family dynamic.
Who I Work With
Every family is different and so is every child. But many of the families I work with have something in common:
-
A neurodivergent child (or children) who is overwhelmed by school or can’t attend at all
-
A home life filled with anxiety, shutdowns, meltdowns, and constant emotional firefighting
-
Parents who are exhausted, stressed, and wondering if things will ever feel calm again
Sound familiar?
You're in the right place.
I’m Amy, a specialist paediatric hypnotherapist, experienced teacher, and mum of two amazing autistic children. I've been exactly where you are now. I’ve lived through the stress of daily meltdowns, school avoidance, burnout (for my children and myself), the education system and professionals who don't understand, and the endless cycle of worrying about how to help your child while trying to hold everything else together.
My children are my ‘why’. Their journey has shaped everything I do at Magic Minds, and I bring that lived experience, as well as professional training, into every session, story, and support I offer.
How I Can Help
Support that meets your child where they are — and helps you feel more in control, more supported, and less alone.
Families
At Magic Minds Family Hypnotherapy, we understand how challenging family life can be when your child is struggling with anxiety, school avoidance, or emotional overwhelm. That’s why we’ve created the Family Forum—a safe, supportive space for open conversations with all family members. It’s a chance to explore your current family dynamic and to reflect on your hopes for the future. Alongside this, our practical After-School Meltdown Toolkit offers simple, effective strategies to ease the most stressful times of the day. Together, these resources help your family feel more understood, supported, and emotionally connected.
Children
Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and understood. Through bespoke Magic Moment Hypno-Stories and low-demand 1:1 hypnotherapy sessions, we help children gently work through anxiety, worries, sleep difficulties, sensory and confidence issues. Each session and story is tailored to your child’s unique personality and interests, helping them feel empowered, reassured, and ready to face life’s challenges in their own way. For older children and teens, our SPARK: Recovery From Burnout programme offers specialised support to recognise burnout, begin to recover, and find ways of feeling safe, steady, and supported again.
Parents/Carers
When you’re supporting a neurodivergent child, it’s easy to forget about your own needs. That’s where we come in. Our Calm & Connect audios and relaxing online sessions like the Virtual Holiday are designed to give you space to breathe, reflect, and reset. We also offer in-person group therapy sessions for parents and carers to explore how you’re feeling, how you're coping with the needs of your neurodivergent child or children, and to take some much-needed time for self-care. These safe, nurturing spaces remind you that you’re not alone and that your wellbeing matters too. We’re here to help you reconnect with your own calm and confidence—because when you’re well-supported, your whole family benefits.
