Help for Bedwetting with Hypnotherapy & Counselling
If your child wets the bed and nothing has worked, it is easy to feel worried and worn out. Please take a breath. Bedwetting is far more common than most parents realise, it is not your child's fault, and there is a gentle, medication-free way forward.
Your child is not doing this on purpose. Bedwetting, known as enuresis, is never about laziness or spite. When there is no physical cause, it is very 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
Using relaxation and kind, positive suggestion, hypnotherapy helps ease the stress, worry or low confidence that can sit behind bedwetting. It is calm, child-friendly, and never frightening.
Eases anxiety
It calms your child's mind at bedtime, softening the nighttime 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 bladder control and awareness 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 and up, 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 or medical cause. Where no medical reason is found, hypnotherapy and counselling can be a very effective next step, without medication.
Will hypnotherapy be frightening for my child?
Not at all. It is simply a calm, relaxed and pleasant experience, a bit like guided daydreaming. Our therapists are experienced with children and keep every session warm, gentle and age-appropriate.
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 very start.
Can we do the sessions online?
Yes. You can visit us in person at our Fareham practice or have sessions online from the comfort of home, which many families find easier and more relaxing for their child.
