Help with phobias
With Ali Anderson, BACP-accredited counsellor. In person in Skelmorlie or online across the UK and beyond.
A phobia can look small from the outside and run your whole life from the inside. People quietly build their days around avoiding one particular thing, and that avoidance grows until it's shaping work, family life and where they'll go.
If you've ever been told to just get over it, you'll know how unhelpful that is. Phobias aren't logical, and knowing they aren't logical doesn't shift them.
The good news is that they often respond well, and sometimes quite quickly. Clinical hypnotherapy is particularly useful here, because it works with the automatic reaction underneath rather than trying to argue with it. We can combine it with counselling if there's more going on beneath the surface.

Common questions about phobias
Will I lose control under hypnosis?
No, the opposite. You have to be willing for it to work. If part of you doesn't want to do something, you simply won't. You stay in control the whole way through.
What kinds of phobias can you help with?
A wide range, including specific fears and situations. Get in touch and we'll talk about yours.
