Fears and phobias

Your fear does not have to keep controlling your life.

A fear or phobia can feel overwhelming, even when part of you knows the danger is unlikely or out of proportion. Hypnotherapy can help you change the automatic response that keeps the fear in place.

Begin feeling calmer, safer and more in control.

Phobias can develop around almost any object, animal, place, activity or situation. The reaction may include panic, a racing heartbeat, shaking, sweating, nausea or an intense need to escape.

You may understand logically that the situation is safe, yet your mind and body still respond as though you are in immediate danger. Hypnotherapy can help address this automatic reaction and encourage a calmer, more proportionate response.

Intense fear responses

The fear may appear suddenly and trigger powerful physical and emotional reactions that feel difficult to control.

Avoidance and escape

You may avoid certain journeys, places, appointments, animals, activities or social situations because of the fear they create.

Anticipatory anxiety

Sometimes the worry begins long before the event itself, with repeated thoughts about what might happen or how you may react.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help you work with the subconscious associations that can trigger a fear response.

You remain aware and in control throughout the session. The aim is to help your mind recognise that the old alarm response is no longer necessary and begin replacing it with a calmer sense of safety.
