Fear of Flying

Fear of flying is a remarkably common ‘phobia’, although there is considerable variation as to its form an severity. For some this fear will have been present for as long as they can remember. For others the fear develops later in life and often sufferers will describe how they flew for many years without a problem.

Some sufferers fear that the airplane will fall out of the sky and that they will be killed; Others are more afraid of experiencing severe anxiety and being unable to escape from the situation. This latter group of sufferers may also have problems with other situations, such as being stuck in traffic jams or being caught on a train between stations. Frequently they can pinpoint the onset of their fear to a particular flight, during which they experienced symptoms of panic or anxiety such as excessive perspiration, trembling or shortness of breath.

It is important that the nature and onset of the fear are accurately understood to determine the appropriate therapy. Fortunately our therapists have extensive experience in this area and will ensure that you receive the most appropriate hypnotic therapy.

Therapy is usually a series of three one hour sessions at a cost of £60 per session but, if you are travelling soon and are unable to fit in three sessions before you fly, we also offer two 90 minute sessions at £90 each.
