Phobias, fears #panic attacks
and general anxiety
1 in 9 people have a phobia of some description
According to the dictionary a phobia is " an extreme reaction to a fear triggered by an external stimulus". Phobias can be caused by a simple one off event -an intial sensitizing event (ISE) or by a behaviour learned usually from parents or siblings. They appear in many forms and classifications such as:
Fear of
- Open spaces, closed spaces, crowds, heights, the dark etc
- Insects, animals, reptiles etc
- lightening, thunder, germs, blood etc
- Dentist, flying, driving, public speaking and exams
- Many, many more!!
The good news is that hypnotherapy has been shown to be very effective at treating all phobias and fears.
There are only 2 fears that we are born with:
1. Fear of falling and
2. Fear of loud noises
Phobic Reactions
In a report by Davisd Spiegel of the Harvard Mental Health Letter, the following research was cited. A seven year study showed that 50% of patients afraid of flying were improved or cured after treatment with hypnosis

Consequently all the rest are a result of 'thoughts' and then 'feelings' developed around the subject of fear and thus those thoughts and feelings can easily be reframed. Reframing and desensitization are the key methods used in hypnotherapy to address fears and phobias.
Please note that I am more than willing to work along side any other proffessionals involved with your fear such as your dentist or driving instructor etc inorder to facilitate the best outcome possible.
Panic Attacks 
1 in 20 people will experience a panic attack as a direct result of a phobia at one time in their lives!
Panic attacks can come on very swiftly and cause much distress. Hypnotherapy can employ many methods to educate and desensitize the client. Every aspect of the clients well-being and comfort are taken into account as we reprogram the mind and its beliefs about the source of panic whilst carefully controlling the symptoms.
Again, as an experienced meditation teacher I have additional and specialist knowledge of various breathing techniques, relaxation practises and grounding exercises that you may not get from other hypnotherapists. My work as a development coach will also be additionally beneficial to you because of my knowledge and understanding of NLP (Neurolinguistic programming) to break through rigid thoughts and irrational fears.
