Break free from phobia with Hypnotherapy Norwich

Overcome Phobias with Hypnotherapy in Norwich & Online

Are you looking for effective help to overcome a phobia in Norwich?

Whether your fear feels overwhelming, irrational, or has been affecting your life for years, hypnotherapy offers a safe and proven way to achieve lasting freedom from phobias.

Phobias are among the most common reasons people seek therapy. More than just fear, a phobia can become a powerful limitation — shaping choices, avoiding experiences, and disrupting everyday life. Many people find themselves fitting their life around their phobia, often feeling trapped or out of control.

The truth is, phobias are learned behaviours — not something you're born with. They may develop after a specific incident or gradually over time, often reinforced by avoidance and the mind’s attempt to protect you. Because these responses are held deep in the subconscious, talking alone may not be enough to bring about change.

That’s where hypnotherapy comes in.

At Hypnotherapy Norwich, we work with clients to resolve fears at the subconscious level — where they truly begin. Using gentle, focused techniques, hypnotherapy helps to reframe old patterns, desensitise fearful triggers, and restore the body and mind to a state of calm and safety. This empowers you to respond more appropriately, regain confidence, and live without the limitations your phobia once created.

We help individuals overcome a wide range of specific phobias, including:

  • Fear of public speaking (Glossophobia)

  • Fear of flying (Aerophobia)

  • Fear of driving (Amaxophobia / Vehophobia)

  • Fear of vomiting (Emetophobia)

  • Fear of enclosed spaces (Claustrophobia)

  • Fear of constriction (Merinthophobia)

  • Fear of being trapped or crowds (Agoraphobia)

  • Fear of birds (Ornithophobia)

  • Fear of heights (Acrophobia)

  • Fear of dogs (Cynophobia)

  • Fear of spiders (Arachnophobia)

  • Medical-related phobias, including:

    • Fear of doctors (Iatrophobia)

    • Fear of illness (Nosophobia)

    • Fear of medications (Pharmacophobia)

    • Fear of needles or injections (Trypanophobia)

If you're ready to stop living in fear and start enjoying life with confidence, we invite you to book a consultation. Find out how clinical hypnotherapy in Norwich can help you break free from phobias and rediscover peace of mind, control, and freedom.

  • "Tom helped me overcome my fear of heights after one session and meant I enjoyed my trip up to Sugar Loaf mountain in Brazil! Thoroughly recommend."

    Sonia

  • "Our teenage son suffered from severe cynophobia, which was having a significant impact on his life affecting his willingness to go to many places. We approached Tom to enquire if this was something he could support with, Tom arranged a call back for us to discuss the situation, following the chat we arranged two sessions. The sessions made a very significant improvement to our son and has had a very positive impact. Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you Tom."

    Amy

  • "I saw Tom in order to control my body's responses with respect to a mild phobia. The sessions were as informative as they were effective, allowing me not only to have a more positive experience in future situations, but to understand why this is the case. Would highly recommend to others in a similar position."

  • The root word of "phobia" is the Greek word phobos, which means "fear". The suffix "-phobia" is used to create words that describe irrational fears.
