Phobias can be described as irrational fears which adversely affect a person’s life.
Phobias can be divided into two categories – simple (specific) and complex. Simple phobias have a particular focus, such as a specific animal, activity or object. Complex phobias are centred around a particular circumstance, such as social phobia – the fear of being humiliated or embarrassing oneself in public - or agoraphobia – the fear of going out in public. They may be linked to anxiety more generally.
With simple phobias, we will work on understanding the possible origin of the phobia, and work on rewriting the old learnt responses with new, more helpful responses, as well as gaining the tools to take away with you after our time together allowing you to stay calm when faced the object of your phobia. Your mindset will shift from one of constraint and fear to being empowered and free.
For a simple phobia, two consultations maximum are necessary whereas complex phobias are treated in a similar way to anxiety related problems (c.f. -anxiety). For simple phobias, the package is £135.
