Please see your GP first
Bedwetting can have physical causes, including urinary infections and constipation, so it is always worth having your GP rule those out before starting therapy. This matters especially if your child was previously dry at night and has recently started again, or if there are daytime accidents, pain when weeing, or unusual thirst. Where no medical reason is found, gentle therapy can be a very effective next step.
ERIC, the children's bowel and bladder charity, also offers free advice and a helpline for families.
Your child is not doing this on purpose. Bedwetting, known as enuresis, is never about laziness or spite. Where there is no physical cause, it is often linked to anxiety or something happening beneath the surface, and that is something we can gently help with.
You are not the only family going through this
Bedwetting affects more children, teenagers and even adults than most people ever talk about. If any of this feels familiar, you are in exactly the right place.
You have tried the GP's advice, star charts and alarms, and nothing has quite worked.
Your child feels embarrassed, and it is starting to affect their confidence.
Sleepovers and school trips have become a source of worry for the whole family.
You would love a kind, drug-free approach that helps your child feel in control again.
How hypnotherapy helps children stay dry
Hypnotherapy for bedwetting uses relaxation and kind, positive suggestion to ease the stress, worry or low confidence that can sit behind night-time wetting, while helping your child build awareness and a sense of control.
Eases anxiety
It calms your child's mind at bedtime, softening the night-time worry that can contribute to bedwetting.
Builds confidence
Positive suggestion nurtures self-belief, so your child feels capable of staying dry at night.
Restful sleep
Deep relaxation encourages a calmer bedtime routine and more settled, uninterrupted sleep.
Better bladder awareness
Gentle suggestions help your child develop stronger awareness and control during sleep.
Resolves what is underneath
It gently identifies and eases emotional triggers, like fear or insecurity, that may be playing a part.
A sense of control
Most of all, your child feels empowered, taking the lead on their own journey to dry nights.

Bedwetting hypnotherapy FAQs
Is my child too old, or too young, for this?
Bedwetting affects children, teenagers and even adults, so there is rarely a wrong age to seek help. We work with children from around age 7 upwards, always tailoring our approach to their age and personality.
Is my child wetting the bed on purpose?
No. Your child cannot help it, and it is never about laziness or spite. There is often a subconscious reason behind it, frequently linked to anxiety, which is exactly what our gentle approach is designed to help with.
Should I see my GP first?
Yes. It is always sensible to let your GP rule out any physical cause such as an infection or constipation. Where no medical reason is found, hypnotherapy and counselling can be a very effective next step, without medication.
My child was dry and has started again. Is that different?
It can be. When a child who has been dry for months starts wetting again, it is worth a GP appointment first, as there can be a physical reason. It can also follow a change or an upset, a new school, a bereavement, a new baby, and that is very much something therapy can help with once anything medical is ruled out.
Will hypnotherapy be frightening for my child?
Not at all. It is a calm, relaxed and pleasant experience, a bit like guided daydreaming. Your child stays awake and aware throughout, and our therapists keep every session warm, gentle and age-appropriate.
Are your therapists DBS checked?
Yes. Every therapist working with children and young people at OLIP Therapy is DBS checked, appropriately qualified, fully insured and working under regular clinical supervision.
How much does it cost?
The initial consultation is free. Sessions are £90 for 50 minutes, or £504 for a six-session programme. Many children need only a small number of sessions.
How many sessions will my child need?
Every child is different, so it depends on their individual needs. We will talk this through honestly at your free consultation so you have a clear, realistic picture from the start.
Can we do the sessions online?
Yes. You can visit us in person at our Fareham practice or have sessions online from home, which many families find easier and more relaxing for their child.
Dry nights, and a happier bedtime, are possible
