Why a Combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy is More Powerful for Treating Phobias
My approach to treating phobias combines Strategic Psychotherapy with Clinical Hypnotherapy, targeting both the conscious and unconscious mind. Hypnotherapy guides you into a deeply relaxed state, where your mind is more receptive to positive change. In this state, we can uncover and reframe the deep-rooted thoughts and fears that drive your phobia, replacing them with healthier, more balanced responses.
Strategic Psychotherapy adds a focused, goal-oriented layer to the process. Each session is tailored to address the specific triggers and patterns behind your phobia, whether it’s related to flying, escalators, animals, or other situations. We won’t just talk about your fear—we’ll work to break down the unconscious patterns that keep you feeling stuck. This approach is flexible, allowing us to address your unique challenges.
Research shows that hypnotherapy can be highly effective in reducing phobic reactions. Studies demonstrate that it can help diminish the intensity of fear responses more quickly than many other methods, providing long-lasting relief.
I’ll guide you through techniques to shift your thinking, reduce your emotional responses, and give you the tools to manage future encounters with your phobia. You’ll notice a decrease in the intensity of your fear, allowing you to approach life with more confidence and control. By combining Strategic Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy, we focus on creating lasting change, helping you overcome your phobia so you can live with greater freedom and peace.

Unlike the hypnosis shown on television and in movies, clinical hypnosis does not involved you doing anything against your will. In fact the power of clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy comes from the client making their own choices from the suggestions that the therapist provides.
A Clinical Hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to achieve a state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation. When in this state, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the mind) takes a rest. Hypnosis allows people to tap into the information that lies in the subconscious mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits or behaviours that are having a negative mental or physical impact.
The experience of hypnosis will be different for each client. For some, it is a heightened awareness; for others, a profound relaxation. Sometimes the client hears every word the hypnotist says, and other times the voice fades in and out or becomes completely inaudible. In strategic hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis the client is always free to alter the hypnotic experience or awaken at will.
Hypnosis is a normal, naturally occurring, healthy state of mind. There are no known documented cases of clinical hypnosis resulting in harm. (Analysis of known studies.)
Hypnosis feels like complete physical and mental relaxation. Everyone will experience it differently, based on their own circumstances. It has been likened to daydreaming, or the state of mind just before drifting off to sleep. The hypnotic state of relaxation allows the busy mind to quieten, and the stored resources of the unconscious mind to be accessed and used to create new pathways.
