Hypnotherapy For Fears & Phobias

Did You Know Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Can Help You Overcome Fears & Phobias


Fear is a normal reaction to a threat, while a phobia leads to a fear response even when you're not in danger. We see this in situations where a person harbors irrational fears about something that, in reality, is of little or no danger. A phobia isn’t just a dislike of something – it takes over your life when the object of fear arises. It can cause an increased in heart rate, breathing difficulties, tightness of the chest and an inability to think rationally. This is the ‘fight, flight, freeze’ mechanism going into overdrive. Some people pass out through the extreme reaction to their phobia. It can control your life, changing behaviours, decisions and lifestyle – all in order to avoid the object of your fear. My Clients all respond very quickly and positively to hypnotherapy protocols designed to work with fears.

Did you know


That phobias often developed during childhood and become aggravated during adulthood (although they can develop in adult years) and people often carry them around for decades, unaware of the fact that they can easily be eliminated using hypnosis. The fears are usually unreasonably exaggerated; when you have a phobia you feel as though you have no control over those feelings, in spite of knowing on a conscious level that the fear is irrational.


Phobias bring out feelings of fear and anxiety and really inconvenience the individual by limiting their activities as they build their life “around” the phobia. If left untreated, phobias can lead to further detrimental effects, incapacitating the individual in situations that trigger the fears.​


Some of the most common phobias include -Fear of flying (Aviophobia), Fear of spiders (Arachnophobia), Fear of heights (Acrophobia), A fear of snakes (Ophidiophobia),Fear of needles (Trypanophobia).
