Hypnotherapy Q&As

Can hypnotherapy help with a fear of flying?

Yes. Fear of flying is a learned response, and what the mind has learned, it relearns. You board your next flight feeling settled, with tools you trust.

How I work on it

  • The NLP fast phobia technique: you replay the old fear in a detached way, then run it in reverse, and the emotional charge drains out of it.
  • Reworking the pictures: you learn to shrink, dim and redirect the images of things going wrong.
  • An anchor for calm: a settled feeling linked to a simple gesture, ready for check-in, take-off and turbulence.
  • Rehearsing the whole journey: from packing your case to stepping out at your destination, calmly, again and again.
  • Self-hypnosis for the day: a short routine for the departure lounge and your seat.

No planes needed

All the work happens in the session room or online. Your imagination does the travelling, and the first real flight is the one you've booked. If your flight is soon, get in touch straight away: I plan the sessions around your departure date.
