Hypnotherapy works by guiding you into a calm, focused state where the subconscious mind – the part responsible for automatic reactions, becomes open to change. In this relaxed state, we can safely explore where the fear began, reduce the emotional charge linked to it, and create new, healthier responses.

By combining hypnotherapy with proven mind–body techniques, we support you in releasing the old fear and replacing it with calm confidence.

What to Expect in Sessions

• Understanding the Fear Response – Exploring how the mind and body react during fear, and why these responses can feel so powerful.
• Relaxation & Calming Techniques – Learning strategies to calm the nervous system, giving you more control in moments of stress.
• Desensitisation & Reframing – Gently reducing the emotional intensity of your fear while creating new, more empowering associations.
• Regression Work (when appropriate) – Identifying and releasing the original source of the phobia.
• Future Pacing & Visualisation – Rehearsing yourself feeling calm and capable in situations that once triggered fear.
• Practical Tools – Simple methods you can use in everyday life to stay steady and in control.
