Then welcome to ThinkingPower! 

I'm Jennifer-Megan, founder of ThinkingPower Hypnotherapy and Coaching. ThinkingPower blends deep educational experience with powerful, therapeutic tools, 

During my teaching and SENCO career of nearly 30 years, I have had the privilege of working closely with many, many parents and children, in a very wide range of schools, sharing their worries, sharing their successes, and working together. I liked to be a bit different in school,  and I almost always had a puppet or a magic trick with me to lighten the mood and make the meetings and children's learning more fun and memorable! 

As SENCO, I also worked closely together with my school colleagues, other school SENCO colleagues, and with a range of Professionals such as Educational Psychologists and Specialist Teachers. I applied for and reviewed many EHCPs. (Educational Health Care Plans). I was continually learning more and more about special educational needs, but I kept on feeling that something was missing for me, like there was something else we could be doing to help. 

Then, suddenly, when I had a particularly horrible time in my life outside of school, and I felt like things were falling apart, I personally discovered the immense and wonderful power of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Hypnotherapy.

 Suddenly, I had the tools to switch off my overwhelming fight or flight reactions, and to switch on feelings of calm and being able to think clearly, even in the midst of the horrible things still happening around me. It felt so liberating and amazing! I felt that this could be the missing link. I have been training and learning more and more about this ever since!

I am now exploring new ways of helping children, teenagers, adults and families, by drawing on everything I have learned in schools, over so many years, together with my training in coaching, NLP, Hypnotherapy and Relaxation techniques.

 Together, these allow me to offer calm, thoughtful support that helps people not just understand what’s happening, but begin to feel and respond differently. I help parents and children to learn how to calm their nervous system, interrrupt unhelpful thought patterns, and gently rehearse new ways of responding. Much like a sports coach helps an athlete before a race, we use imagination and guided techniques so you feel more prepared, more relaxed, and less reactive. 

By breaking stuck patterns and creating new calmer responses, I can support families to move away from constant triggers, towards a more peaceful, confident and connected family life. 

I can't wait to meet you, let's get started!
