You may know flying is safe, yet your mind and body respond as though danger is real

A fear of flying, sometimes called a flying phobia or aviophobia, can turn something exciting into something you dread for weeks or even months beforehand. You may desperately want to travel, visit family or explore the world, yet the thought of getting onto an aeroplane triggers anxiety or panic.

For some people, the fear centres on take-off, turbulence or landing. For others, it's being enclosed in the aircraft, feeling out of control, or the thought that something might go wrong. You may avoid flying completely, rely on medication or alcohol to get through a flight, or spend the entire journey waiting anxiously for it to end.

The frustrating part is that you may already know rationally that flying is safe. But a phobia doesn't necessarily respond to statistics or reassurance, because the fear response can become automatic.

My approach to fear of flying treatment works with the subconscious associations and responses that can keep the fear in place.

I use clinical hypnotherapy, Rapid Transformational Therapy™ (RTT) and other techniques tailored to the individual through my signature Phobia Rewrite programme.

The aim isn't simply to teach you how to endure your next flight. We work towards changing the way your mind responds to flying itself.
