With thanks to Sarah Cox, Certified Hypnotherapist | RTT© & EFT Practitioner, for writing this blog for us.
Having spent over 25 years working in education as a teacher, dyslexia specialist, and SENDCo, I have always believed that children are capable of so much more than they sometimes give themselves credit for. For many of those years I worked closely with OC Tuition, supporting tutors with multisensory teaching ideas and training in neurodiversity, helping ensure that every child, whatever their learning profile, had the best possible chance to flourish.
Academic support makes an enormous difference to children’s lives, but over the years I noticed that some children were also carrying something heavier. Anxiety, fear, and self-doubt can affect every aspect of a child’s life, both in and out of the classroom. I observed this particularly in neurodiverse children, who so often misread their own differences as failings – when in reality their minds simply work in a beautifully different way.
That curiosity led me to train in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) with Marisa Peer, EFT (tapping), and Reiki, which are gentle, effective techniques that work beautifully alongside academic support, helping children feel calmer, more confident, and more ready to learn.
One of the most important things I now help children understand is that the most important words they will ever say are the words they say to themselves. When a child begins to notice their own inner voice and realises they have the ability to change it, something truly remarkable happens. I love giving children practical tools they can use independently, because that sense of autonomy over their own wellbeing is profoundly empowering and stays with them for life.
