Fears & Phobias
with Hypnotherapy
Free Yourself from Fears and Phobias
What if the fear that’s been holding you back could be released?
Hypnosis for fears and phobias offers a powerful and natural way to help you overcome irrational fears, so you can move forward with greater confidence and ease.
Fear or Phobia – What’s the Difference?
Fear is a natural response to a real or perceived threat. It can help keep us safe in genuinely dangerous situations.
Fear has played an important role in human evolution, helping our ancestors survive life-threating situations such as attacks from wild animal.
In modern Western life, however, fear is often an overreaction to situations that the subconscious mind mistakenly interprets as dangerous. These situations are not truly life -threatening, yet they still trigger a powerful and visceral response. When fear arises in this way, it becomes less useful and more limiting, holding us back in specific areas of our life.
Phobias, on the other hand, are typically more intense than fears. They are often irrational responses to specific objects, situations or even thoughts that pose little or no real danger.
Phobias can significantly limit your lifestyle, leading to avoidance behaviours, emotional distress and loss of confidence. Unlike fears, phobias do not have a helpful evolutionary background.
They are exaggerated fear responses that have built up over time, often from unresolved emotions or misinterpreted situations.
The good news is that both fears and phobias can be treated with hypnosis for fears and phobias, by working with the subconscious mind.

How Hypnotherapy Works with Fears and Phobias
Fears and phobias are often rooted in the subconscious mind, the part of us that stores memories, emotional responses and learned behaviours.
You may not consciously remember the original event or understand why you react so strongly to something logically harmless.
Through clinical hypnotherapy, we can access this deeper part of the mind to:
- Identify the root cause of the fear or phobia, often linked to childhood experiences or past emotional events
- Reframe and release the emotional response associated with the original trigger
- Reprogram the mind to create healthier, calmer reactions in future situations
- Build inner calm and resilience, reducing the intensity and frequency of anxious responses
This approach helps you to change your reactions and feel more in control without the need to simply “push through” the fear.

What Science Says
Research supports the effectiveness of hypnosis in reducing anxiety and treating phobias. Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and change fear-based patterns.
According to a study published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, hypnotherapy demonstrated significant improvement in phobia symptoms, particularly when combined with other therapeutic methods like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Another study in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnosis can reduce emotional reactivity in phobic individuals, leading to greater behavioural flexibility and wellbeing.

During your free consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and what kind of support may suit you best.
How does hypnotherapy work for fears and phobias?
Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind and helping to gently shift the patterns that trigger anxiety or panic. Rather than simply managing the fear, we explore and reframe the underlying cause, allowing you to respond with greater calm, confidence, and control.
Will I be asleep or unconscious during hypnosis?
No, you will remain awake, aware, and in control the entire time. Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed and focused state, similar to meditation or daydreaming. In this state, your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and behavioural change.
Where are the sessions held?
All sessions are held online via Google Meet, allowing you to experience hypnotherapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Many clients find that being in their familiar space helps relaxation and makes it easier to integrate the tools we explore together.
Can online hypnotherapy help with fears and phobias?
Yes, online sessions via Google Meet are just as effective as in-person work. Many clients find being in their own space actually enhances the process, allowing them to feel more relaxed and open.
