Hypnotherapy For Phobias
Is the Intense and irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or activities getting too much?
Phobias are serious conditions that significantly affect a person’s life, causing fear and anxiety that is considered to be beyond the individual’s control. Whether it is a fear of flying, heights, spiders, or even social situations, phobias makes it hard for you to participate in routine activities. Cognitive-behavioural therapy may offer some degree of consolation, yet the impact of the phobia may remain constant, continuing to alter the patient’s habits. Hypnotherapy for phobias is effective because it deals directly with the root of importance which lies deep in the subconscious level of the psyche in cases of phobias.
During hypnotherapy, you are taken through a state of deep relaxation to uncover the subconscious ideas and details that cause your phobia. In this state, it is possible to strive to change these thought patterns, alleviate the level of fear, and assist in the process of building reasonable patterns of response to certain situations and objects that were previously treated by the patient as threatening. 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.
At London Hypnotherapy & NLP, our hypnotherapy is accompanied by neuro linguistic programming methodologies in order 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 not be held back by your fear.

How Hypnotherapy Solves These Issues
Intense and Irrational Fear of Specific Objects or Situations
Hypnotherapy involves the use of hypnosis which reaches the deepest part of the brain where phobias are rooted. Hypnotherapy helps diminish the response of fear by accessing and reinterpreting these irrational perceptions, enabling the person to confront the object or situation with fewer signs of fear.
Avoidance Behavior That Disrupts Daily Life
We also know that many phobias cause avoidance behaviour, and this can really interfere with your everyday existence. Hypnotherapy assists you in breaking this cycle because it focuses on the fear that makes it difficult for you to address your avoidant tendencies.
Panic Attacks Triggered by Exposure to the Phobic Stimulus
Some of the most disheartening effects of a phobia are the panic attacks that accompany the condition. By using hypnosis that is associated with hypnotherapy, 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
A person may feel anxious even when they are just thinking about the phobia. Getting rid of a phobia with hypnosis has a major goal to change your attitude towards your phobia and make it as rational as possible. This helps to some extent in coping with the feelings of anxiety that are otherwise elicited by the very thought of the phobia
Physical Symptoms Such as Sweating, Trembling, or Shortness of Breath
It is understandable that phobias can often have physical manifestations because your body starts responding to the feelings of fear. Hypnosis is useful for your mind and your body in that it diminishes these manifestations and brings about a situation where your body does not react adversely to situations that used to elicit such physical reactions.
Inability to Control the Fear, Despite Knowing It’s Irrational
While most people with phobias know that their fear is unreasonable, they cannot overcome the feeling. Hypnotherapy addresses this by having a direct influence on this aspect of the person and empowering the person to gain control over the fear that tightly grips the person with the phobia.
Social Withdrawal or Isolation Due to Fear of Encountering the Phobia
Exclusion was defined as a situation where one feels isolated due to the fact that the fear of coming across the phobia overwhelms you. Hypnotherapy assists in the reduction of fear and to re-enter social activities and other social settings that you may have become phobic about.
Sleep Disturbances Due to Anxiety About the Phobia
This means that worrying about your phobia impacts your quality of life by causing sleepless nights or even frequent interrupted sleep. Music applied in hypnotherapy has the effect of lowering your level of anxiety, helping you to benefit from better sleep while your phobia does not interfere with your sleeping pattern.
Difficulty Concentrating or Functioning When Exposed to the Phobia
Phobias may cause some distraction or hinder your functioning in a given situation. Through hypnotherapy, you are equipped with ways of handling the phobia, and the mental strength to do the practical things in life without necessarily having to avoid what causes the phobia.
I only see clients for as long as I need to, rarely do I need to see anyone longer than 2 to 3 sessions. I regularly see a measurable reduction in irrational fears from the very first hypnotherapy for phobia session.

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.
