More and more therapists, hypnotherapists and counsellors want to work with children and young people — and it's easy to understand why. Young people are navigating anxiety, pressure, and emotional challenges at a scale we've never seen before. The need for skilled, compassionate practitioners is enormous.
But working with younger clients isn't simply about applying what you already do. It requires a different understanding of how children think, feel, and process — and techniques specifically adapted for younger minds.
This two-day Diploma Masterclass gives you exactly that. Whether you're curious about working with children for the first time, or you're ready to make it a central part of your practice, you'll leave with the knowledge, the tools, and the confidence to work with young clients effectively, ethically, and with genuine impact.

Les Roberts is one of the most respected specialists in child and youth hypnotherapy in the UK today. A Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, EFT and IEMT Practitioner, and Counsellor for Children and Adolescents, Les has dedicated her career to helping young people thrive.
She began her career within the NHS, gaining extensive experience in Integrated Therapy Teams — which means her knowledge is rooted in real clinical practice, not just theory.
Les has been an official speaker at the Children's Mental Health Matters Summit 2024, a guest speaker at the UK Hypnosis Convention, and most recently a featured speaker at the prestigious Hypnotic 2026 International Conference in Antwerp, Belgium. She brings warmth, depth, and an extraordinary wealth of practical knowledge to everything she teaches.
Do I need experience of working with children to attend?
No — this masterclass is designed to be accessible whether you're completely new to working with younger clients or looking to deepen an existing interest. Les starts from the foundations and builds from there.
I'm a counsellor rather than a hypnotherapist — is this relevant to me?
Absolutely. While Les uses hypnotherapy as part of her own practice, the masterclass is designed for therapists and counsellors of all backgrounds. The child development knowledge, NLP strategies, safeguarding frameworks, and practical tools are valuable regardless of your modality.
How interactive is it — is it just Les presenting to a screen?
Not at all. The masterclass is live and interactive throughout, with demonstrations, case studies, practical exercises, and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Previous attendees consistently highlight the interactive quality as one of the things they valued most.
