Hypnotherapy to overcome phobias

Is fear holding you back?

Let's talk
Overcome fears & phobias with hypnotherapy

Phobias can cast a long shadow over your life.

The overwhelming fear can infiltrate everyday activities, limiting your potential and preventing you from fully experiencing the world.

Hypnotherapy can be the light that breaks through the darkness, illuminating a path forward and empowering you to overcome your fears so you can live life to the fullest.

Hi 👋  I’m Frances.

I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Brighton & Hove. Want to know how we can conquer your phobia?
Let’s chat.

Phobias can make everyday tasks feel impossible

Here are just a few examples.

 

🕸️

Aracnophobia (fear of spiders)

Can make even everyday moments (like opening a cupboard or going into the garden) feel filled with dread.

👀 

Emetophobia

Can quietly take over daily life: what you eat, where you go, and how you plan your day.

✈️

Fear of flying

Can cause weeks and months of stress, or missing out on life experiences altogether.

😷

Health Anxiety

Can show up as constant checking for symptoms, or feeling overwhelmed by medical appointments.

Why do I have a phobia?

Our brains are wired for survival. They do a really good job of keeping us safe, like jumping out of the way of a barking dog. Typically, this scary experience will be balanced out by positive ones (most dogs are good girls/boys after all 🐶) and the fear fades away.

But under specific conditions (ie: if you were under a lot of stress at the time), the fear response can become so overwhelming that your brain doesn’t have an opportunity to take on new experiences. Every time you come across your phobia, it triggers a cascade of responses in your body & mind, like increased heart rate, anxiety, and heightened fear. This perpetuates the cycle of fear.

At its worst, having a phobia can hinder your quality of life and isolate you from the world, leaving you feeling trapped in a cycle of anxiety and avoidance.

How hypnotherapy can help you overcome phobias

Rewiring your response

Hypnotherapy delves into the depths of your subconscious mind, where phobia triggers are rooted. Through tailored techniques, we can rewire the way your mind reacts to these triggers, diminishing the intensity of your response.

Reframing your future

For many phobias, we use a powerful technique called Rewind & Reframe. This approach guides you through visualisations, allowing you to approach your triggers at your own pace and discover a newfound sense of resilience.

Building confidence

Confidence is essential for overcoming phobias. Hypnotherapy helps bolster your self-esteem levels. As you learn to trust in your ability to manage anxiety and confront your phobia, you’ll find yourself taking bold strides towards a life free from fear.

I would highly recommend Frances. Hypnotherapy has really helped me. I feel so much calmer now. In situations where I used to get angry, I can laugh things off instead. It’s a big shift for me. Frances, Thank you very much. Big hugs.

I had anxiety issues, especially around travel. After just a few sessions, I feel much more at ease and ready to step outside my comfort zone. I haven’t been on a long-haul flight in years and now I’m about to book a trip to Thailand, a country I’ve always wanted to visit. Thank you Frances!
