Fear of dogs is a very common phobia. And since there are about twelve million dogs in this country, you never know when you might meet one. You could meet a dog in the park, in the street, at a friend’s house, on the beach or walking in the countryside. People miss out on so much if they avoid these places because of fear of dogs. You might even be avoiding friends or family members because they have a dog and they do not understand how badly dogs upset you.
In fact long before I was a hypnotherapist I was scared of dogs myself, so I know just how inconvenient and embarrassing this fear can be. Having overcome the fear of dogs myself, I now actually like dogs and enjoy interacting with them. They are such affectionate and fun-loving creatures, with the same emotions as a human being! It’s no wonder that humans and dogs have lived together for 40,000 years.
It helps if you know a bit about normal dog behaviour, such as by watching this video about understanding dog language. Yes, dogs do have a language- a body language, which is almost as expressive as a human’s body language. People with dog phobia often think is aggressive when it’s actually frightened, anxious, friendly, or excited!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could enjoy any park or beach or countryside location where there might be dogs, or visit friends and family who have dogs, without any fear or discomfort- even enjoying the dog’s company and seeing it as a friend or family member, not something to be feared?

What does it cost?
Therapy sessions are £60 per session, which is about the average going rate in this area. How many sessions you need varies from person to person, as no two people are the same. However in my experience it’s normally between three and eight sessions. We will be aiming for a permanent change in this time. This is not like seeing a hairdresser where you keep on going back on a regular basis. Once you get over a phobia there is normally no reason why you would get it back.
