Life is too short to keep organising it around fear.
A phobia can shrink your world without you even noticing. You stop booking flights. You avoid certain routes. You make excuses. Over time the thing you fear grows larger — and your life gets smaller.

A phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a specific object, situation or experience that poses little or no real danger. Because the fear is held subconsciously, consciously knowing the phobia is irrational does nothing to reduce it — which is exactly why hypnotherapy and IEMT work so well.
Common phobias I treat
Dogs, spiders, snakes, birds, wasps, mice — often beginning in childhood.
Fear of turbulence, loss of control, or catastrophic thinking about crashes — preventing holidays, family events and work travel.
Fear of injections, blood, dental treatment or medical procedures — with serious health consequences when care is avoided.
Triggered by staircases, balconies, bridges, or looking out of windows in tall buildings.
Fear of driving, motorways, roundabouts or busy roads — often following a road accident or near-miss.
One of the most debilitating and least-talked-about phobias — severely restricting diet, travel, social life and parenting.
An intense fear of being judged or humiliated in social situations — making everyday interactions feel unbearable.
Fear of enclosed spaces — lifts, tunnels, MRI machines, crowded rooms — limiting travel and medical care.
Signs a fear has become a phobia
- You go out of your way to avoid the trigger, even when inconvenient
- The fear response feels completely out of proportion — but you cannot control it
- Just thinking about the feared thing makes you anxious
- Your avoidance is limiting your work, relationships or quality of life
- You feel embarrassed about the fear, which stops you seeking help
The approach
Sessions are gentle, non-exposure based, and entirely in your control. You will not be asked to handle spiders, watch frightening footage, or confront the thing you fear directly.
Particularly fast and effective for phobias. Using structured eye movements, it works directly with the emotional imprints keeping the phobia locked in place. Many clients find their phobia response significantly reduced — or gone — within a single session.
In a deeply relaxed state, I work with the subconscious to update the association between the feared stimulus and the danger response — replacing it with a calm, neutral reaction.
What clients say
"After struggling for years with a phobia, I saw Bonnie for IEMT. Immediately after it had started to take effect, I felt so much calmer. Over a week later the phobia has massively subsided and my sleep has improved tenfold. I wish I had done it sooner!"

Phobias are often the fastest-resolving issues I work with. Most specific phobias respond well in just one to two sessions.
Questions
Will I have to confront the thing I am afraid of?
No. My approach is not exposure-based. You will not be asked to handle, view or approach what you fear. Treatment works through the subconscious mind.
How quickly does phobia treatment work?
Many clients experience a significant reduction after just one session. Two sessions resolves most specific phobias entirely.
What if I have had my phobia my whole life?
The length of time you have had a phobia does not determine how quickly it can be resolved. Many of my most dramatic results have come from clients who carried their phobia for decades.
Can you treat phobias in children?
Yes. Children respond exceptionally well to phobia treatment. Find out more about children's services →
