I have spent many years working with children in my previous careers. As an actor who appeared in a Kids' Television show and also somone who has spent a great deal of time working and teaching drama in schools and theatres I like to think that all that experience has stood me in good stead when it comes to working with children in hypnotherapy.

Many people do not consider it as an option but in fact children are often much more open and receptive to ideas than adults are. They have imaginations that are wonderful and they are very much prepared to use them.

I recently interviewed Naomi Richards who is a "Kids Coach" and we talked about working with young people. It's a great chance to pick up some tips and ideas that you can use with your own children...

I am back on the radio presenting the Late Show this weekend with lots more entertainment. I love being able to do some radio shows alongside my hypnotherapy practice as I get to speak to so many interesting people and really connect with quite a few more people than when I conduct one to one sessions.

It's obviously very different to my time in practice but I do like to think that I can take elements of what I do and use them in a beneficial way when I swap jobs for a couple of evenings.

I think that having a sense of humour is very important. Many issues are very serious but this doesn't mean that people can't also feel a sense of relief in their laughing..and this can come very close to some crying too.

Anyway..this weekend I am very excited to be talking to Comic Stip legend Ade Edmonson all about what he is up to right now, and I think that may well include a new series of his show Bottom with Rik Mayall for next year, as well as his music. I also have Musician Ben Bowden coming in to play live for us. I love having live music in the studio you just can't beat it! I also have a memory master Tony Buzan who has worked for many huge corporations telling us how we can improve our memories. I for one need that! Coupled with a chat with Naomi Richards who is known as the kids coach helping us with how to deal with our children's issues and some more surprises I think it's going to be a great weekend.

I hope you can join me. It's all from 9pm this Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th October. You can hear me on BBC WM, BBC Shropshire, BBC Hereford and Worcester, BBC Stoke and BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.
