Hypnotherapy For Phobias, harley street
Is the Intense and irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or activities getting too much?
Phobias are serious conditions that significantly affect your life, causing fear and anxiety beyond your control. Whether it is a fear of flying, heights, spiders, or even social situations, phobias make it hard for you to participate in routine activities. Phobia treatments, like CBT, may offer some degree of consolation, but the impact of the phobia can continue to alter your habits. In contrast, hypnotherapy for phobias is more effective because it deals directly with the root of importance which lies deep in the subconscious level of the psyche in cases of phobias.
At London Hypnotherapy & NLP, our hypnotherapy is accompanied by neuro-linguistic programming methodologies to address your particular kind of phobia. What we want for you is to take your life back and go forward with your head held high, and no longer be held back by your fear.
With my help, get the right phobia treatment and bring clarity and confidence back into life. Call or email to book a consultation with me today and take your first step towards a phobia-free life.
Types of Phobias
Phobias are classified into two types, specific phobias and complex phobias.
Specific Phobias
This phobia involves a fear of a specific object or a situation, like being afraid of spiders or confined spaces. Specific phobias often stem from childhood or adolescence.
The common specific phobias include animal-based phobias (fear of insects, snakes, dogs, or rodents), nature-based phobias (fear of heights, water, storms and germs), body-based phobias (fear of blood, vomit, injections, choking, medical procedures or childbirth), situation-based phobias (fear of flying, confined spaces, escalators or tunnels), sexual phobias (fear of nudity or engaging in sexual acts), and other phobias (fear of certain foods, objects, or costumed characters)
Specific phobias are not limited to this list and are many more than those mentioned.
Complex Phobias
Complex phobias tend to develop in adulthood and can be more disruptive than specific phobias. The most common complex phobias are social phobia and agoraphobia.
Social Phobia
Also known as social anxiety or social anxiety disorder, it’s experiencing an intense fear in social situations with a tendency to completely avoid them. Social phobia is different from feeling shy or awkward in social situations. It overwhelms you with incessant worry about a social event, before, during, and after it has happened. You may find it difficult to start conversations, talk in groups, speak in public, meet new people, and speak to authority figures.
Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia is more than a fear of complex situations. It’s about feeling very anxious about everyday situations that are difficult, embarrassing, or leave you feeling helpless. This phobia can be due to panic disorder, but this is not always the case. Agoraphobia is often triggered by being alone outside, in open spaces, in a crowd, or in enclosed spaces.
How Hypnotherapy Works As A Phobia Treatment
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis as a therapeutic technique to relax your mind deeply and help it become highly aware. A hypnotherapist brings you to this hypnotic state and lets you access your subconscious mind, the deepest part of the brain where fear and phobias are rooted.
In my phobia hypnosis sessions, I used powerful techniques like guided visualisation and suggestion to face and reframe your irrational fears. These techniques can replace the negative thoughts with positive affirmations that reduce the overall feelings of anxiety and fear when you encounter your phobia triggers. While the other therapies may help control the symptoms of the phobia, hypnotherapy seeks to get to the root of the problem and provides a cure.

Common Issues We Address with Phobia Hypnotherapy
My phobia hypnosis sessions offer practical solutions to manage common problems stemming from your phobias.
Intense and Irrational Fear of Specific Objects or Situations
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis, which reaches the deepest part of the brain where your phobias reside. My phobia hypnotherapy treatment helps in calming your fear response by accessing and reinterpreting the irrational perceptions. This lets you confront the object or situation with less fear.
Avoidance Behavior That Disrupts Daily Life
Phobias lead to avoidance behaviour, and this can really interfere with your everyday existence. Phobia hypnotherapy assists you in breaking the cycle of fear by focusing on the fear and helping you overcome your avoidant tendencies.
Panic Attacks Triggered by Exposure to the Phobic Stimulus
Phobias can lead to panic attacks. By using hypnosis, one is able to control and possibly prevent such an attack, besides the extreme fear that may cause such a massive response.
Excessive Anxiety When Thinking About the Phobia
You may feel anxious just thinking about the phobia. Getting rid of a phobia with hypnosis aims to change your attitude towards your phobia and make it as rational as well as your feelings of anxiety.
Physical Symptoms
Understandably, phobias can have physical effects as your body starts responding to the feelings of fear. Phobia hypnosis can diminish these manifestations and lower such physical reactions.
Inability to Control the Fear
While most people with phobias know that their fear is unreasonable, they cannot overcome the feeling. Hypnotherapy for phobias empowers you to gain control over the fear.
Social Withdrawal
Exclusion is when you feel isolated and overwhelmed due to the fear of coming across your phobia. Phobia hypnotherapy reduces the fear and helps you in re-entering social activities that you once feared.
Sleep Disturbances
Worrying about your phobia also impacts your quality of life by causing sleepless nights or even frequent interrupted sleep. Music applied in hypnotherapy can lower your level of anxiety and lower sleep interference from your phobias.
Difficulty Concentrating
Phobias can distract or hinder your functioning in a given situation. But with targeted hypnotherapy, you can handle your phobia with calmness and have the mental strength to do the practical things in life.

Testimonials
I had struggled with a severe fear of heights for as long as I can remember. It was affecting everything, from family vacations to simple everyday tasks. I was sceptical about hypnotherapy at first, but after just a few sessions at London Hypnotherapy & NLP, I noticed a dramatic change. I can now face heights without the crippling fear that used to control me. The sessions were incredibly relaxing, and the results have been life-changing. I’m so grateful for the help I received.
