Fear of Flying

Yes, I’ve helped many people to overcome fear of flying, such as the lady who reviewed my services on Google My Business HERE.

No, because different clients have different needs. two clients are alike even if they have the same phobia.
Some people who have fear of flying are mainly afraid of the powerful physical sensation of take-off.
Others might feel reassured by the power of the engines which will keep them flying.
They might be more afraid during the cruising stage, fearing that the plane could just “fall out of the sky.”
Some are more afraid of landing, because they know that accidents are more likely at this stage.
Others are afraid of hijacking by terrorists.
And some folk just don’t like the idea of sitting in a metal cylinder which they cannot possibly get out of until the plane has landed.

Most fear of flying results from experiencing “air turbulence” during an actual flight.
This is especially likely to cause a phobia if the person is aware of other passengers panicking.
Another big factor is that on the rare occasion when an airplane does crash it will be headline news in the media that day and sometimes for days afterwards.
By contrast there are hundreds of car accidents every day but we don’t hear of them unless they’re especially tragic or involve a celebrity.
You can read more HERE about therapy for overcoming flying phobias and other phobias.

It varies but in my experience not more than three sessions normally. Timing is important, it’s best to have a session some weeks before the flight and another very soon before the flight.

There’s plenty of scientific evidence for hypnosis being effective therapy for fear of flying, such as this article on Hypnosis for Airplane Phobia.
However no client of mine has ever needed 12 sessions to overcome this problem, like the lady in the article! Two or three sessions is more common.

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 clients can see a great improvement after as little as two sessions for this particular problem.

Hypnotherapy aims to permanently change your mindset. It 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, because the thing you once feared is now just a normal part of your life.
