It’s believed that up to 1 in 5 people get anxious about flying.
The fear of flying also known as aerophobia or aviophobia is more common than you might think and is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. It is one of the more common phobias that I see.
For some people the intensity is so great that they will avoid flying completely, for others they may feel that flying is only possible with the aid of medication or alcohol.
The mere thought of going to the airport and boarding an aeroplane can produce anxiety symptoms and sometimes panic attacks which increase as the departure date looms near.
Fears develop in different ways for different people, for some the
origin of their fear is known, for others it’s a mystery. Very often
these fears and anxieties affect some who have been comfortable
with flying in the past.

Therefore, some of you are facing more than one fear. These fears are learned responses, you have learned to be anxious at the thought of flying.
The conscious part of your mind (the rational part) understands that flying is statistically the safest form of travel in the world. However, the subconscious part is warning you that it’s dangerous to get on a plane and no amount of rationalisation seems to help. You remain afraid and controlled by your fear of flying. So it’s logical to effectively communicate with the subconscious to overcome the fear.
I use Advanced Hypnotherapy and N.L.P. methods tailored to your needs to help you:
- Discover and release the root cause of your fear
- Focus on desensitisation and subconscious re-learning so that the perceived danger is seen in a more rational way
- Rehearse all aspects of your journey under hypnosis behaving and feeling comfortable and at ease, becoming a confident flyer. I provide bespoke recordings for you to continue rehearsing at home – repetition reinforces the therapy.
- Learn self hypnosis so that you can create your own calm and confidence
- Enjoy the prospect of your next trip and become a confident flyer
Sometimes only one or two are needed. For others more may be required as everyone is unique

In 2019 I qualified for a Team GB cadet squad and was invited to compete internationally for the first time. I found that I couldn’t bring my standards from practice into the competitions as I got overwhelmed by the setting. Ann worked with me on focusing techniques, preparation and positive framing.
Not only have I used these techniques in my sporting life but have also applied them in schooling. I have found that much of it could also be applied to exam preparation; I have been far calmer before, during and after exams. My ability to focus for revision, put marks into perspective and be reflective has improved. During Covid19 when many people are unsettled about exam marks and future options, I have been calmer and as such able to make plans for all eventualities. Thank You.I cannot thank you enough for helping me to get control of my life and start to live it. I find it almost impossible to put into words how much my sessions with you have helped me to change my life for the better. Your ability to deal with profoundly complex issues in a safe, reassuring, non judgemental,professional yet friendly way has given me the confidence to finally work through and deal with very deep seated issues that have blighted my life until now.
To say you have changed my life for the better is not overstating how I feel. To anyone wondering if consulting Ann is 'worth a go' I would say - what are you waiting for, the start of a new life is only a phone call away.
Thank you againThank you so much for the hypnotherapy sessions. You have given me the confidence to go out there and find happiness of which I never thought I would before coming to you. The sessions were thoroughly enjoyable and have certainly changed me as a person for the better. I would recommend anyone with life, health issues etc. to pay you a visit as it has worked wonders for me. The best start to a new year I've ever had.
Thank you once again.I went along to see Ann for a four week weight management programme. I was a little apprehensive but was immediately put at ease by Ann. At all times she was professional, empathetic, supportive and very approachable. She was able to explain very clearly what she was doing and why.
