In that same year, I trained in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), with Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna. I’m a qualified Master Practitioner, an Advanced Therapeutic Specialist and a Trainer all licensed by the Society of NLP. Thereafter I started a long association of assisting Paul McKenna with his seminars.

To begin with, I wasn’t surprised that lots of parents would bring their children to Harley Street to see me – after all, I’d had a lot of experience of working with children. What was surprising however, was how many of these visits were about the same problem – bedwetting.

I dismissed it as a bit of a coincidence, but gradually I began to realise what a widespread problem it really is and how much it can affect a child’s self-esteem, confidence and overall sense of wellbeing. I listened to stories of nightmare school trips and elaborate plans made to smuggle in night-time pull-ups for sleepovers. Some children had even given up opportunities to take part in London theatre shows (because they required sleepovers) and turned down much cherished places at boarding schools. I also realised that this problem is affecting more teenagers than ever before – too many children are now simply growing into the habit, rather than growing out of it.

This is when I started to get passionate about helping as many children as possible become dry at night, for this was more than just a case of inconvenient wet bed sheets - an unresolved bedwetting habit can change the course of a person’s life forever.
