Habits and Phobias

Are you afraid of flying? Do you avoid certain activities because they make you too nervous?

Fears are generally produced by internal anxieties that become associated with particular situations or objects. Some fears may seem to serve a genuine purpose – fear of heights, fire, spiders, etc. Others, however, appear to be not so straightforward – such as fear of circles, certain fruits or even stuffed toys.

Phobias tend to be more than extreme fear, they are what is called irrational fear. Most adults struggling with phobias understand that their fears are irrational. However often facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared object or situation panic attacks or severe anxiety get triggered.

The combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy can help you overcome your fears and phobias. This combination has a long history of treating fears and phobias and there has been much of research that shows the combination of the two is extremely effective.

Practicing facing your fears in hypnosis means that you remain in complete control of the situation when you are completely calm and relaxed. Using this method you will see results quickly. Our sessions will also help you to address any underlying thoughts and beliefs that cause your fear and phobia in the first place.

Are you concerned about your habits?

Unhelpful habits (either behavioural or cognitive) tend to be created as coping mechanisms to a stressful situation, thought or emotion. And they tend to provide you with some form of immediate comfort. Habits can develop at any stage in your life. Some habits, such as procrastination and chronic negative self-talk, are examples of unhelpful habits that can lead to emotional harm and damage of your self-esteem.

I know that you can overcome these habits and behaviours, replace them with helpful and healthy ones. In the process you can become calmer, more accepting of your feelings and thoughts and able to experience more joy.

With my support you can move from feelings of overwhelm, stress and a sense of lack of control into being more confident, more calm, and in control of the present in the moment.

Success Stories

I received help from Denise to tackle a problem with nail biting that bothered me for at least a decade. I had managed to get some improvement in the past, but always ended up reverting back to old ways. With Denise's help, I managed to stop biting and created strategies and self-awareness that have worked in stopping the habit for much longer than ever before. I am confident that this was the help I needed to beat this problem and wouldn't have managed without Denise's help.

I have been a lifelong nail biter. In fact, I can't remember a time when I didn't bite my nails. Working with Denise gave me the tools to recognise why I'm biting my nails, the emotions that are related to this habit and the tactics to stop. Denise was fantastic. She took me through the rationale of why I wanted to do this and what I needed to do. Denise and I had weekly consultation sessions where we reviewed my progress over the week and the challenges I had experienced. When I inevitably fell off the wagon, there was no judgement, Denise talked me through what had happened to trigger me and how to manage that in the future. I got my first ever manicure three weeks ago and it was great. Thanks Denise!

Fiona, Reformed Nail Biter, London

I am so impressed of Denise’s transformational effect in my life. In only one session I was able to experience real, tangible changes in how I see myself, and have managed to cut on my unhealthy habits for a more fulfilling life. She is experienced, kind and really cares about her clients’ wellbeing and improvement journeys. I am very satisfied!
