HYPNOTHERAPY FOR
PHOBIAS
Feel safe, calm, and confident in situations that used to trigger fear.
Phobias can be incredibly limiting. Whether it’s fear of flying, needles, spiders, public speaking, or social situations, these intense reactions can hold you back from things that others take for granted. And while you may know your fear isn’t logical, that doesn’t make it feel any less real in the moment.
​
Hypnotherapy for phobias offers a gentle and highly effective way to change how your subconscious mind responds. By uncovering the root of your fear and reprogramming your automatic reactions, we can reduce anxiety and create a calmer, more confident response.

What is a phobia?
Many phobias exist in our subconscious and are learnt responses. Hypnotherapy can help re-programme your subconscious mind to unlearn the fear response.
-
Panic or anxiety attacks
-
Fast breathing or a racing heart
-
Shaking, nausea, or sweating
-
Avoidance of everyday situations
-
Disruption to work, travel, or social life
Phobias often develop from past experiences, learned responses, or moments when we felt helpless. Over time, these get locked into the subconscious and triggered automatically.
How does hypnotherapy for phobias work?
Hypnotherapy for phobias helps you access the subconscious mind and gently unlearn the fear-based response. In a calm and relaxed state, we can:​
​
-
Identify the root cause of your phobia
-
Detach old fear patterns from current triggers
-
Reframe the way your mind and body respond
-
Build a new, more confident association with the feared situation
-
Give you calmness and control that you can carry into daily life
​
Because phobias live in the subconscious, this deeper approach often works more quickly than traditional talk therapy or exposure techniques.
“Angela, I can't thank you enough. My phobia has disappeared. I’m so grateful.” – LISA
“I had a wonderful experience with Angie. She was warm, reassuring and made me feel completely at ease. It allowed me to reflect on memories I never knew I had. I can’t wait to go back.” – AIMEE
Choose the support that suits you
You can work with me in person at my Solihull practice or through a bespoke hypnotherapy for phobias recording tailored to your specific phobia.
-
Face-to-face sessions include time to talk, followed by guided hypnosis and support strategies
-
Personalised recordings are based on a short consultation, last around 40–45 minutes, and include a check-in afterwards
Both options are designed to gently shift the fear at its root and replace it with calm and control.
