Counselling & CBT for Bedwetting Hampshire

Calm, practical support for children and families — in Fareham or online across the UK.

Bedwetting is common, and it is nobody's fault

If your child is still wetting the bed, you are far from alone. It is one of the most common childhood difficulties, and it is not caused by laziness, naughtiness or anything you have done. Most children grow out of it, but when it carries on, it can knock confidence and make sleepovers and school trips feel impossible.

Alongside advice from your GP, gentle hypnotherapy and counselling in Fareham can help children, teenagers and adults feel calmer at night, ease any worries that are playing a part, and build the confidence to stay dry.

Never your child's fault. And with the right support, dry nights are very possible.

When is it time to get help?

Under 5

Very common

Many young children are still learning to stay dry at night. Treatment is not usually needed yet, and most children get there in their own time.

5 and over

Talk to your GP

If bedwetting is bothering your child or your family, your GP can check for simple causes, such as constipation or an infection, and talk through options like a bedwetting alarm.

7 and over, or it has started again

Extra support can help

If it is carrying on, or has returned after months of dry nights, worry or change may be playing a part. This is where hypnotherapy and counselling can help.

Things that can help at home

Small, steady changes often make a real difference. These follow NHS advice.

Plenty of drinks during the dayDo not cut down on drinks overall. Aim for regular drinks through the day, with fewer in the hour before bed.
Skip fizzy and caffeine drinksCola, tea, coffee and hot chocolate can make the bladder more active, especially in the evening.
A loo trip before bedMake it part of the bedtime routine, and keep the way to the toilet easy to find with a night light.
Stay calm and kindNever punish or tease. Waterproof covers and a spare set of sheets can take the stress out of wet nights for everyone.
Reward the effort, not the dry nightPraise the things your child can control, like drinking in the day. Try the star chart below.
Please see your GP firstBefore starting therapy, it is important to rule out a physical cause. Your GP can also offer treatments such as an alarm or medication, which can work well alongside our support.

Questions parents ask

A parent smiling at home, feeling relieved
Is bedwetting my child's fault, or mine?
No. Bedwetting is very common and is nobody's fault. It often runs in families and is usually linked to how the body makes urine at night, the size or sensitivity of the bladder, or very deep sleep.
Should we see our GP first?
Yes, please. Your GP can rule out a physical cause, such as constipation or an infection, and offer treatments such as a bedwetting alarm or medication. Our support works well alongside this.
How can hypnotherapy help with bedwetting?
Hypnotherapy uses deep relaxation and positive suggestion to build confidence and a calmer, more aware connection between body and mind at night. It can be especially helpful when worry or stress is playing a part. With children, sessions are gentle and often use stories and imagination.
What age do you work with?
Our therapists work with children from age 7, as well as teenagers and adults. For children under 7, your GP or health visitor is the best first step.
How many sessions will we need?
It varies from child to child. Some families notice a change within a few sessions, while others need a little longer. Your therapist will talk this through with you at the start.
Can adults get help with bedwetting?
Yes. Bedwetting in teenagers and adults is more common than many people realise. Please see your GP first to rule out a medical cause, then we can support you with complete discretion.
How much does it cost?
Hypnotherapy is £90 for a 50 minute session, and counselling starts from £72. Your first 15 minute call is free. See all our prices.
