Overcome Fears and Phobias with Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy and N.L.P. has a proven track record at successfully treating phobias and fears. By skilfully combining tried and tested techniques appropriate to your particular problem, you can react in a calm manner when you face the situation or object that you once feared. Many people have a phobia, it is an intense fear or feeling of anxiety that occurs only in certain situations.

The fear may be of something rational or irrational and many people can live with their fears but others find them quite debilitating and restricting as their life may become dominated by the precautions they take to avoid certain situations.

Even though they may know there is no real danger, increasingly fearing the fear can have a dramatic limiting impact on life quality and confidence.

Emetophobia – a fear of being sick, seeing other people sick or just seeing vomit can. restrict all areas of life and is a condition that I frequently see.

Fears and phobias are a learned response to a stimulus that works on a subconscious level. So it can be a source of huge frustration when rational thought proves impossible to overcome the fear. So it makes sense to resolve the phobia by communicating with the subconscious. That’s where Hypnotherapy and N.L.P. techniques can be extremely useful.

  • I listen to how your fear or phobia is affecting your current life
  • We uncover problems that lie in the past, using methods appropriate to you. When discovered and understood the emotional attachment can be released.
  • We focus on desensitisation and subconscious re-learning on how you want to feel, think and behave. Working in a methodical way, at a speed appropriate to you, step by step you learn to expect to feel at ease, calm and comfortable in those situations you once feared.
  • You practice these new and preferred ways of thinking and behaving by listening to the recordings which are provided, this repetition reinforces the therapy.
  • You’ll learn self hypnosis so that you can create your own calm and confidence.

The number of sessions needed will vary. Some clients need as little as one or two sessions. Some will require more as some problems are more deep rooted and complex than others.

I’d love to hear from you so we can talk about how I may help you make the changes that matter to you. I’m happy to explain more over the phone on 07754180049 or you can complete the contact form.

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 again
After suffering from intense needle phobia for 40 years and anxiety and panic for 20 years I decided to try hypnotherapy. Unsure at first-Ann made me feel very comfortable and I found her warm and genuine and the space as reassuring and safe. Ann explained each process and rationale for each exercise. 4 sessions on I and my family have noticed I am more relaxed. I have no panic and today I walked confidently and had my injection. I can not Thank Ann enough for the support and encouragement and the feeling of freedom I now have. Thank you
Ann was recommended to me by a friend and I am grateful that she was. I started seeing Ann initially to help with my confidence and feelings of self worth. From the first time that I met Ann I felt comfortable and at ease. The techniques used throughout my 5 sessions were relaxing, comforting but at the same time challenging. From the 1st session I could feel a shift in my mindset and Ann walked me through each session with kindness, compassion and without any kind of judgement. After my 5 sessions I can say that I have increased in confidence, self worth and feel overall like the person I want to be. Thank you Ann.
I started hypnotherapy sessions to help resolve a long-term eating disorder. This was a new method of intervention after many previous failed attempts. Ann worked with me at a pace I was happy with which helped me to make and maintain steady progress. The hypnotherapy therapy process also provided me with a boost to my confidence and self esteem and I know that I can always go back to Ann should I need further help.
I have been going for reiki sessions for over 2 years now, it forms part of my monthly maintenance routine to maintain my mental wellness. It is a very relaxing treatment that clears my mind of any bottled up worries and provides a mental reset for the month ahead.
I approached Ann at a time when I was losing my way with my business focus. I was quite literally burning myself out trying to do too many things to a very high standard. I went to Ann for help to become more focussed and to ease the feelings of stress and inaction but she helped me in far more ways than that. I regained my confidence using Ann's techniques and my business and personal life turned a corner. I took away with me tools to revisit if ever I felt I was slipping into my old ways. Thanks for your help Ann. I'd recommend you to anyone who is stuck!
I would just like to say many thanks for your help. In the 4 sessions I had, I can't believe how much its helped and changed me. I'm more confident and more relaxed and see things in a different light. Once again many thanks for your help.

Thank 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.
Over a period of about 3 years I developed a fear of driving over Barton Bridge. I had been driving that route for about 25years. After my first hypnotherapy session I drove home by this route with only slight trepidation. After my second session I drove home with almost no fear at all. Listening to the recordings have helped me completely overcome my fear. Thank you!
New York City is amazing! Thank you for enabling me to get here!
I have always been extremely positive about other people’s abilities and very negative about my own attributes. There are a few areas whereby negative aspects of my personality rise up to confront me and I use avoiding or delaying tactics as I fear success as much as failure in my creative life. Ann has taught me that failure is not an option. Her motivational skills are first class and I amazingly after 4 or so sessions of hypnotherapy, I hear myself thinking that I too have talents and abilities which I so very clearly see in others. Ann quickly and professionally identifies areas which need addressing and her approach works. Who knows what I can do with Ann behind me, motivating me in to action. Thank you very much Ann for helping me to focus.

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.

18 Months later I am 1.5 stones (21 lbs) lighter, I have dropped two dress sizes by losing a staggering 34.5 inches from my bust, waist and hips. My BMI is now in the normal range. My relationship with food has changed completely, I no longer need to comfort eat, my sweet tooth has virtually disappeared, I no longer get food cravings. I am still eating all my favourite foods just much smaller quantities and I don’t even feel hungry. I have more energy and feel absolutely amazing.
I just wanted to say thank you for your help. The treatment you provided helped me clear my mind and put life back into the proper perspective. By putting me back on an even keel you have enabled me to function as I used to – stress free. And no more stomach upsets.
Two years just gone by in a flash that I haven’t smoked for and it’s down to New Leaf Hypnotherapy for showing me how, never looked back and I know I never will!
