fears / phobias hypnotherapy

Is your fear constraining your enjoyment of life?

Want to regain control?

Fears and phobias are common, with over 10% of people experiencing a simple phobia at some time in their lives. From spiders (arachnophobia) and snakes (ophidiophobia), to heights (acrophobia), flying (aviophobia), dentists (dentophobia) and enclosed spaces (claustrophobia), there is nothing we can't develop anxiety or phobias about. Most phobias develop as a result of either a single traumatic event or by gradual association and are made stronger by avoidance of the stimulus, fixation on the stimulus, memories of negative past experiences and anticipation of future negative experiences.

The majority of people who suffer from phobias will experience intense feelings of stress, anxiety, loss of control and panic. But, happily, hypnotherapy and EFT (Emotional Freedom Therapy www.emofree.com) provide extremely effective treatments for these problems. Through hypnotherapy counselling and phobia hypnosis, the source of the phobia can be uncovered and de-sensitised and the mind re-educated to respond to the feared object or situation in a more relaxed, controlled way.

"My experience of hypnotherapy was great as in my sessions I could pinpoint my exact fear of flying and learn to accept them and move on. I also learnt some very useful techniques to help me if the fear ever arises again and i came away feeling extremely relaxed and more confident each time that my fear of flying was slowly melting away."

"During time spent with Chris I was struck by the complete attention she gives and the huge empathy she shows, the combination of which leave one feeling safe and reassured. She has solved some enormous problems for me which I had feared were insurmountable. This has without doubt changed my life for the better. Further proof (as if proof were needed) of the power of hypnosis in the hands of such a skilled and compassionate practitioner."

"It will probably be hard for anyone reading this to imagine what an empowering and liberating experience it was for me to have hypnotherapy with Chris. I contacted Chris when I had reached rock bottom with my arachnophobia. People who have never had a phobia will think ‘scared of spiders? Big deal! You just need a pep talk!’

But let me explain what it was like: Try to imagine a grown, intelligent woman reduced to tears at the sight of a spider. A woman who felt unsafe in her own home. A woman who was scared of hoovering or getting rid of cobwebs because that might disturb the spiders and bring them out. A woman who was having nightmares about spiders. A woman who, felt like she was frozen to her seat, just because a little boy went past her with a toy spider.

That was me.

Knowing deep down that it was a stupid phobia and completely irrational, did not help. It made me feel stupid , helpless and out of control.

It was at this point that I contacted Chris, after looking at her website. Right from the start, she was calm and reassuring. We had 7 sessions in total. The whole world and all its cares disappear when you walk through the door and it’s just you and her tackling this problem. She gives you home work, and you have to do it for the therapy to be beneficial. She worked with me, teaching me skills, guiding me through this difficult journey. At the end of it, she had a generosity of spirit to say that it was all down to my efforts and that i had achieved this cure. The truth is, I would not have had a hope of getting through this without her help.

I now have a little spider that lives in my bathroom, called Jimmy. I have watched the whole of ‘Charlottes web’, a film about a spider that I could not watch earlier. I have watched a 5 minute documentary about spiders. The thought of putting a spider in a glass does not make my heart race. And I have been able to remove small spiders using a piece of paper. This may not seem like a lot to some people, but to me it is amazing. And the knock on effect if that I feel more confident and am a calmer, happier person than I was in the autumn.

Hypnotherapy itself: I was a bit apprehensive at first of losing control. But you can totally trust Chris. Hypnosis is very relaxing and calming, but also helps you to see yourself and the world in a different way: it opens up possibilities.

For anyone who wants a hypnotherapist who will guide and help you through problems in a sympathetic, calm, reassuring way and leave you feeling a lot better about yourself and the world, I would throughly recommend Chris."

"Having looked at Christine’s website & reading all the information given I knew it was written by someone totally genuine & committed to improving the quality of people’s lives. My problem, motorway driving & driving in heavy traffic, after 3 sessions I was able to drive to Yorkshire using the motorway network, as you can image after years of struggling with this and my confidence taking a big knock it was like gaining a new lease of life.

How was this achieved? Largely due to the skills that Christine has, her non-judgemental attitude, the empathy, humour & understanding she offers. Christine really takes the time to get to understand the root of the problem and not just offer assistance in masking the issue. Then offers techniques to overcome the difficult situations. Although when you offer Christine a compliment it’s refused very modestly with the reply “it was you that did it”

Anyone that has a phobia or anxiety should very strongly consider calling Christine, I know this sounds corny but, it can seriously change your life!

Thank you Christine"

"I have always, to my recollection, had a fear of heights and during regression I discovered where the fear stems from and also how to tackle it. Since then I have also been to Austria and went up the mountains in a gondola without any fear whatsoever."

"A huge thank you to Chris for her patience and understanding and for taking me on the journey to discover the 'real' me. She has untangled my crossed wires and set me free on a path of confidence and optimism. I would recommend anyone who is looking for help to contact Christine. I can't thank her enough for the difference her help and teaching has made to my life."
