Fear of Flying
Does the thought of flying in a plane fill you with dread? You're not alone. Fear of flying is thought to affect up to one in ten people.
Why am I afraid of flying?
You might have seen news reports of plane crashes, emergency landings or other flying related incidents on TV. Perhaps you’ve heard stories from friends, or maybe you’ve been on a plane before and something happened which made you anxious or fearful.
Planes are incredibly advanced pieces of technology, so it’s no wonder that many of the background sounds that occur as part of a normal flight can seem a bit bewildering. Your subconscious mind responds to these feelings of uncertainty by making you anxious or fearful, because it’s trying to protect you from what it thinks might be a danger. Fear is a response which we learn through experience and the good news is that it can be unlearned.

The most effective therapy for you depends on your individual situation. Many people have found Hypnotherapy helpful for addressing their fear of flying and talking with someone who is impartial and non-judgmental can help you to overcome your fears. Working with your subconscious mind, relaxation and anxiety release techniques can be taught which will enable you to develop a new calmer way of responding and leave your fear of flying in the past.

At your first session, either at the clinic or online, we will talk about your situation in more detail, including your past experiences and goals, along with your role in the therapy process.
