Fears & Phobias

You are not alone if you suffer from irrational fears and phobias. The Mental Health Institute figures show the percentage of people diagnosed with Anxiety Disorders is on the increase, year on year.

A phobia is an irrational fear that poses little or no danger to the person but causes intense anxiety and distress, often becoming incapacitating and detrimental to the health of the individual.

There are many types of phobia but I list them here as four types:

MEDICAL  These include fear of injections, operations, dental treatment, x rays etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL  These include fear of thunderstorms, water, darkness, heights, open spaces, enclosed spaces, crowds etc.

ANIMAL  Fear of snakes, spiders, rats, mice, cockroaches, moths, dogs etc.

SITUATIONS  Fear of visiting the dentist or doctor, fear of flying, driving, swimming, fun-fair rides, riding in elevators, dating, public speaking, tests and exams etc.

These phobias often start in childhood and progressively become more acute in adulthood.

Using a gentle therapeutic approach of counseling and hypnosis, I work with each client to identify their phobia’s triggers, change their thinking and break the erroneous link between the trigger and the fear.

You will be amazed at how quickly and effortlessly you can let go of fear and anxiety and regain control of your life.

Usually, three to five sessions.
