A phobia is an intense state of fear produced by a specific object or situation that is in fact relatively harmless and if it interferes with your daily life then it really is time to seek help. At any time in your life you could have a bad reaction to an object or situation that causes you upset. Your brain stores away how you felt and whenever you talk about or think about the object or situation your brain replays that to you over and over. Now as time passes your active imaginative mind may exaggerate that feeling making this harmless object or situation fill you with complete dread. And so when you are faced with it you begin to react and literally fall apart.

​

What I will do as your hypnotherapist is to scramble the stimulus response attached to your object or situation so you can unlearn your phobia. I am a very 'hands on' therapist and I'm happy to go out of the therapy room and work on your phobia using graded exposure. I have helped clients on buses and tubes. I have gone to pet shops, great heights, I have even brought my own dog in. I will do whatever it takes to get you to your goal so your life will not be affected. It is not whether I can it is simply how we get there.

 

Overcoming fear can lead to increased confidence, improved relationships, and a more fulfilling life. Techniques such as exposure therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness can help individuals confront and reframe their fears. Counseling can provide emotional support and guidance throughout the process
