It’s natural to feel scared sometimes — but a phobia is much more than a passing fear. Phobias can be debilitating, making everyday situations feel impossible and causing real emotional distress. For some, even thinking about the thing they fear can trigger intense anxiety, panic, or physical symptoms like sweating, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.

Phobias often stem from a past experience — even if you don’t consciously remember it — or they may be a learned response from someone close to you. But no matter how your phobia started, you don’t have to live with it.

Common and Unusual Phobias I Can Help With

I work with adults and young people to overcome all kinds of specific and complex phobias, including:

• Fear of flying

• Fear of spiders (arachnophobia)

• Fear of driving

• Fear of vomiting (emetophobia)

• Fear of dogs

• Fear of heights (acrophobia)

• Fear of choking or swallowing

• Health-related phobias (e.g. contamination, illness)

• Fear of water

• Unusual phobias such as fear of certain textures, buttons, clowns, mirrors, or holes (trypophobia)

These fears can stop you from doing the things you want or need to do—such as travelling, socialising, working, or even leaving the house. That’s why it’s so important to seek support.

Fast & Friendly Help

I love helping people move beyond their phobias. Using a powerful combination of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), we’ll work together to calm your mind, change the way your brain responds, and build your confidence. The sessions are enjoyable, safe, and surprisingly fast-acting.

How many sessions will I need?

• Simple phobias (like a fear of spiders or flying): often just 4 sessions

• Complex phobias (Multiple phobia, Health anxiety or social phobia): may take a little longer

We’ll talk it through and make a plan that suits you during your first appointment.
