Over the years, I’ve met people from every corner of Northern Ireland struggling with fears that made daily life a challenge.
Some couldn’t step on a plane, others couldn’t face the dentist, and a few couldn’t even leave their homes. Phobias can feel isolating, but they’re far more common than most people realise, and they can be overcome much faster than you might think.
What Phobias Really Are
A phobia is more than just a fear. It’s a deep-rooted response stored in the subconscious, often from an old experience that got stuck in the mind. The body reacts as if the danger is happening again, racing heart, shaky legs, tight chest. It’s exhausting.
That’s why I developed my Fast Track Hypnosis system. It helps calm the subconscious quickly so the fear no longer controls you. No endless talking, no regression, just a practical, straightforward way to feel normal again.
The Range of Phobias I See
I’ve treated people for almost every kind of fear imaginable, from the usual ones like spiders, heights, and flying to more unusual ones such as buttons, balloons, and clowns. I’ve listed many of them on my A to Z of Phobias page if you’d like to see how wide-ranging they can be.
Two cases that always stay with me are a woman with a lifelong fear of cats and another with a severe fear of dogs. Both had avoided animals for decades. After just a few sessions, they were relaxed enough to walk past or even stroke the animals without panic. That’s what Fast Track Hypnosis does, it rewires the automatic fear response.
Why Fast Track Hypnosis Works So Well
Hypnosis reaches the part of the mind that stores fear memories. During a session, I guide you into a natural state of relaxation where we can change how your subconscious reacts to those triggers. You remain fully aware, but your body learns there’s no real danger.

One client who came to me with a crippling fear of flying not only managed to get on a plane again but later sent me a postcard from Spain. You can read stories like that on my Fear of Flying Reviews page.
