Hypnotherapy for Phobias
At the core of our approach is the understanding that phobias are more than just fears; they are complex psychological responses embedded in the subconscious. Using Clinical Hypnotherapy, we gently guide you to confront these fears in a safe, controlled environment. This process helps to break down the fear response, reducing its intensity and impact.
Common Phobia-Related Issues We Address:
- Intense and irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or activities.
- Avoidance behaviours, actively steering clear of the feared subject.
- Physical symptoms during exposure, such as sweating, trembling, or heart palpitations.
- Panic attacks or extreme anxiety when confronted with the phobia.
- Disruption of daily activities and routines due to fear avoidance.
- Feelings of helplessness or loss of control when faced with the dread of what will come.
- Heightened anxiety just thinking about the feared subject or situation.
- Difficulty in rationalising the fear despite understanding its irrational nature.
- Impact on social interactions and relationships due to avoidance behaviours.
- Sleep disturbances or recurrent nightmares related to the phobia.
Our therapy isn’t just about coping with phobias; it’s about fundamentally changing your reaction to them. We empower you with the tools and confidence to face what was once daunting, gradually diminishing the phobia’s control over your life. Our sessions are tailored to your needs, ensuring a compassionate and effective treatment journey.

Clinical Hypnotherapy
We use hypnotherapy to access the subconscious mind, where phobias often reside. This technique helps reframe the perception of the feared object or situation, reducing its associated anxiety and fear.
Psychotherapy
This involves exploring the origins and triggers of the phobia. Understanding its root cause can effectively address and diminish its power over the individual.
Counselling
Through counselling, we provide a supportive environment where clients can openly discuss their fears. This aids in understanding the impact of the phobia on their life and in developing coping strategies.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP techniques change negative thought patterns and behavioural responses associated with the phobia, fostering a more positive and rational approach to the feared subject.
Psychology
Drawing on psychological principles, we apply cognitive-behavioural strategies to manage phobia symptoms effectively. This includes techniques for relaxation, stress reduction, and desensitisation to the phobic stimulus.
Understanding Fees and Session Requirements
Fee Per Session: We charge £190 for each one-hour hypnotherapy session.
The number of sessions needed to address and overcome a phobia effectively can vary significantly from person to person. This variation depends on factors such as the intensity of the aversion, individual response to hypnotherapy, and the specific nature of the fear. Some clients may experience substantial progress within a few sessions, while others might require a more extended series of treatments to confront and manage their phobia fully.
