Phobias

Hypnosis has been used for many years in the treatment of phobias and this is an area of special interest to me. Phobias cover a wide-range of fears - from flying to frogs - and no matter what the fear is about, I recognise that it is a very real issue for the client.

Hypnosis offers direct access to the unconscious part of the brain where several different techniques are used to alleviate that fear and make the situation manageable for the client.

I worked in the aviation industry for 12 years and have a particular interest in flying phobias. As a qualified pilot, I can offer practical advice and knowledge in addition to therapeutic relaxation and de-sensitisation.

I also offer sessions to clients who are emigrating from the UK . Here, I use hypnotherapy to address various areas of concern. A specific session outline for those with flying fears is tailored to the type of flight they are taking eg. the long-haul flights to Australia and New Zealand. Clients with needle or blood phobias use sessions prior to medical examinations and inoculations. Clients with animal fears (or more commonly spiders and snakes) are also helped in order to make the transition to their new life much more enjoyable and less stressful.

I recommend three sessions for all phobias, as this covers the range of techniques I use. For further information about the sensations of hypnosis, please go to the Welcome and Hypnotherapy? pages.
