Hypnotherapy for phobias
Hypnotherapy for phobias is proven to work

A phobia is a real fear. It is irrational, persistent and unreasonable. But it IS real.
Clammy hands, heart palpitations, jelly legs; many people experience discomfort, from mild to extreme, around things that frighten them. But when this discomfort starts to disrupt your enjoyment of life, stops you from living day-to-day as you want to, and you think it may be getting out of control, it needs to be addressed. Hypnotherapy for phobias is proven to be a highly successful, long term treatment.
If you answer ‘yes’ to one or more of the following statements, you can beat your phobia with hypnotherapy:
- I feel embarrassed and ashamed of the power my phobia has over me
- I avoid specific situations so I won’t have to face my fear
- I create elaborate coping strategies in order to minimise the impact of my phobia
- I feel that my phobia gets in the way of me enjoying life
- My phobia makes me panic and feel anxious
- My phobia disrupts my family life
- I’m worried that my phobia might ‘rub off’ on my children
If you are sick and tired of the impact your phobia has on your life, I can help you rid yourself of that phobia for good.
What phobias can be treated with hypnotherapy?
All phobias can be treated with hypnotherapy. I have worked with people with the most common and some of the most unusual and unique fears. I’ve helped them to beat their phobia and move on with their lives. There are many different types of phobias. Some of the most common include:
- Claustrophobia – fear of enclosed spaces
- Aerophobia – fear of flying
- Cynophobia – fear of dogs
- Apiphobia – fear of bees (or wasps)
- Elevatophobia – fear of lifts
- Acrophoba – fear of heights
- Arachnophobia – fear of spiders
- Emetophobia – fear of vomiting
- Trypanophobia – fear of needles
- Amaxophobia – fear of driving or being driven
- Nyctophobia – fear of the dark
- Glossophobia – fear of public speaking
These are just a few of the more common phobias I have worked to resolve, but any phobia, no matter how unusual, is very real to the sufferer and can be addressed!
Success in treating phobias with hypnosis
The key to successful treatment is to understand the root of your phobia. What events triggered the start of the phobia and how you react physically and emotionally. Once I understand this, I can tailor the hypnosis session to you as an individual.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will it take to get rid of your phobia?
Effective treatment usually takes three sessions, depending on the complexity of your phobia.
Session 1 – Understanding your phobia (2 hours)
Your first session will focus on getting to the root cause of your phobia. We’ll talk in detail about your experiences. When did it start? How long have you suffered with it? How does it restrict your life? How does it make you feel? All this information will help me tailor the hypnotherapy session to you as an individual.
Session 2 – Brainworking (60 to 90 minutes)
This is a dynamic session focused on re-patterning your thoughts and memories around your phobia, using the very powerful tool Brainworking Recursive Therapy. It will change your the way you react to your phobia in future, giving you a more rational, manageable response, and help you overcome it forever.
Your final task will be to put yourself in a situation where you might experience your phobia. You will be able to put into practice everything you’ve learned and prove to yourself that you can live a life free of your phobia. I know – this bit sounds hard, but it works, every time!
Session 3 – Rewind (60 to 90 minutes)
This is the final step to being free of your phobia. I will teach you about anchor points, breathing strategies and other techniques that will help you stay in control of your phobia.

Hypnotherapy for Phobias – A Case Study
Rachel came to me to her conquer her claustrophobia. She had signed up for a ‘Tough Mudder’ challenge that required her to crawl through dark and wet tunnels. Her phobia of enclosed spaces had become so severe she couldn’t even venture under the bed to retrieve a lost sock. It was starting to control her life and limit the activities she could enjoy with her family. And she really wanted to do the Tough Mudder.
