Phobias and fears are surprisingly common, and can have a big impact on your day-to-day activities and your ability to live your life to the full. It may be that you've managed to set up your life in a way that means you rarely come into contact with your phobia, or perhaps that's not possible and you're living with a lot of anxiety as a result.
Anyone who's experienced phobias and fears knows that even if you're aware that the overwhelming level of fear you feel is irrational or exaggerated, it's difficult to do anything about it consciously. This is because the phobia is usually as a result of an experience you've had and your subconscious mind is now working to protect you from harm or danger, even if there is no real threat present.
Phobias can include:
Environmental phobias such as fear of heights, storms, water or darkness
Animal phobias such as fear of snakes, rats, dogs, spiders or wasps
Dental, medical and needle phobia
Bodily phobias such as fear of blood, injury, sickness or injection
Situational phobias such as fear of flying, driving, tunnels, bridges, dentists, social situations, going outside (agoraphobia) or speaking in public.

Client Testimonial
"I had one session with Christina and felt so much more positive and on control"
“Since I could remember, I have had a fear of spiders, it was getting so bad and since my partner passed away I had to deal with them alone and wanted to be more in control and less fearful. I had one session with Christina and felt so much more positive and on control afterwards, she got to the root of the fear, listened to what I wanted to achieve and enabled me to deal with spiders so much better, I’m so grateful and enjoyed the session” PM Shrewsbury, Shropshire
