IF YOU’RE AFRAID TO FLY this probably isn’t the first time you’ve looked around for a fear of flying course. So if you’ve tried other courses and been disappointed you might be wondering what makes us different?

It’s a good question, and the answer is simple: our UK fear of flying course was created by therapists, not pilots. And NOT an airline.

Our afraid of flying courses were developed by therapists here at The Phobiaman Clinic in Harley Street. The Phobiaman Clinic is Harley Street’s leading Phobia Treatment Centre. In fact, we are the UK’s leading specialist Phobia Treatment Clinic, and we understand how to treat a fear of flying better than anyone.

We achieved this status because 20 years ago we decided to specialise in treating phobias, and nothing else. And that’s rarer than you might think. Most people treating phobias are not specialists.

Welcome to the PHOBIAMAN Clinic… and the Best Fear of Flying Courses in the UK.

I’m Alex, veteran member of Paul Mckenna’s Training Team and Treatment Director here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic.

I am a clinical specialist in the treatment of fear of flying with Eriksonian hypnosis and NLP. Over the last 20 years I have put together a team of some of the best phobia hypnotherapists anywhere.

Together, we have developed our programme for fear of flying, which we use here in the clinic. And we refined these methods over tens of thousands of clinical hours spent working with people with phobias, just like you. This has led to our world-wide reputation for excellence.

What makes our programme so unique? It’s unique because it’s been designed to remove the fear without you having to face it, and that means no nasty exposure therapy. Our Fear of Flying Course uses exactly the same tried and tested methods we use in the Clinic.

We are professional, full-time phobia therapists and we may be able to help you overcome your fear in just two days if you’ll only allow us to. That may sound like a wild claim right now, but when you stop to consider that we have already helped over 15000 other people, hopefully it begins to sound a bit more real. And in the clinic we achieve this outcome in half that time with most patients.

Comparison: Fear of Flying Course with Flight vs Fear of Flying Treatment in Harley Street.

We created our fear of flying courses for patients who wanted the best treatment available, but didn’t have time to attend multiple hypnotherapy for fear of flying appointments at the clinic during the working week.

Our UK fear of flying courses are run over a single weekend, and they allow you to experience the same outstanding treatment you would get in Harley Street. Most patients in Harley Street get about 8 hours of treatment. So you get almost double this on the Fear of Flying Course.

Another benefit of the Fear of Flying Course is the experience flight on the last day. With the same premium level of service our patients have come to expect, our experience flight is on a Luxury Private Jet. And yes, there is champagne to celebrate, for those who like it. And yes, you can take photographs!

As our courses are small we can ensure each participant receives the attention they need.

Fear of Flying Course London – Real Results

Others measure their success by how many people take a flight at the end of the course or treatment. But thousands of people fly every day despite having a fear of flying because they have to. So this doesn’t mean the phobia has gone.

We only consider ourselves successful when your fear has gone completely and you have the confidence to do what someone without a phobia would normally be able to do without experiencing a fear reaction.*

And even with these higher benchmarks, our success rates are better than the airline courses, as well as other clinics and therapists, because we specialise in phobia treatment and we have a unique understanding of fear of flying and an outstanding programme delivered by some of the best phobia therapists in the world.

Our Afraid of Flying Courses are NOT About Logic

People who have never had a phobia say you are far more likely to die on the way to the airport than you are by flying. That’s true, but it doesn’t help, does it?

At the PHOBIAMAN Clinic, we know that this sort of logic won’t conquer the anxiety and stress of a flying phobia. And the fact that pilots and cabin crew sometimes develop a fear of flying is proof it has nothing to do with safety or logic or knowing how aeroplanes fly.

It is also proof that there is nothing wrong with you if you do have a flying phobia. It’s just the way the brain works.

Pilots are as human as the rest of us and sometimes develop anxieties and fear of flying even after thousands of perfect flights.  And when they do they come to The PHOBIAMAN Clinic for treatment, and there is no better recommendation than that.

Fear of Flying Courses Near Me

People come from all over the UK for our London Fear of Flying Courses. And with our world-wide reputation, some people even come from overseas.

The courses are held at a 4 star hotel just off the M25, with ample parking and a railway station less than a mile away.

As international travel recovers, we are planning to roll-out our fear of flying courses across the UK and even to other parts of the world:

• March 2023 – Fear of Flying Course Manchester
• April 2023 – Fear of Flying Course Birmingham
• March 2024 Fear of Flying Course Monaco (Nice) Europe
• May 2024 Fear of flying Course Dubai Middle East

Why Do People Choose Our Fear of Flying Courses?

What We Never Do…

1. No Long Physics Lectures

We all know logically that flying is safe. But the fear has nothing to do with flight safety or logic or understanding because it comes from a completely different part of the brain.

So we don’t force you to sit among hundreds of other fearful fliers for a whole day, getting more and more nervous while you listen to a pilot talking about aircraft and aviation safety statistics, how a commercial passenger jet is the safest form of transport, and
how aeroplanes fly.

The reason we don’t do this is because it doesn’t work. And we think asking a pilot to cure a fear of flying is as silly as asking a therapist to fly an aeroplane, (and the pilots we’ve spoken to agree with us). Overcoming fear of flying is about the brain, not the plane.

2. No “Facing Your Fear to Beat the Fear”

If you’ve ever been on an airline fear of flying course you’ll know that most of the people on the flight at the end are still terrified, some people are close to a panic attack. They haven’t overcome their fear of flying at all, even after a whole day (sometimes two days!) of learning about flying.

They are “Facing their Fears” in order to conquer them. Some of them are in tears they are so frightened. You can see it in the promotional videos on the airline websites.

These brave people have our full respect but this is the old psychological model of how to overcome fear – “Feel the fear and do it anyway”. It’s called exposure therapy, or systematic desensitization, and it isn’t very nice.

There is no face your fear to beat the fear aspect to our treatment. We invest the time needed with you and we only use the very best positive psychological techniques to remove your fear without you having to face it.*

What Makes Us Different?

3. We are Phobia Treatment Specialists

It’s important to make sure you are putting your trust in a specialist phobia clinic for your phobia treatment. Luckily, here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic we specialise in treating phobias, so we understand what it’s like to have a real fear.

And we know that fear of flying is often underpinned by other fears like claustrophobia or fear of heights. This means a fear of flying won’t always respond to the out-of-the-box phobia methods and relaxation techniques that the airline courses and non-specialist clinics rely on.

If you want to check if a clinic or therapist GENUINELY specialises in phobia treatment, just have a quick look at their websites. If they offer treatments to stop smoking or weight loss or coaching or anything else then they do NOT specialise in phobias. And if they don’t specialise they are less likely to have the experience or expertise necessary to treat your phobia.

4. World Class NLP and Hypnosis

Not only are we phobia specialists, we are also world-class experts in Eriksonian Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). We don’t say this lightly, either.

As veteran members of Paul Mckenna’s training team, we help Paul and Dr Richard Bandler (the man who thought it all up) to deliver the largest NLP trainings in the world. Some of us have spent more than 10 years helping to deliver these trainings to tens of thousands of other hypnotherapists. That’s over 80 seminars, working alongside Paul Mckenna and Richard Bandler. There is no team with more experience anywhere, and all this means we deliver the most powerful and thorough fear of flying hypnotherapy treatment programme anywhere.

5. You’re in Control

Our whole programme is designed to collapse your fear at a neurological level and ONLY THEN do you get to test the new you, when you say you’re ready. You are in control throughout.*

6. We Are the First Choice of Pilots and Cabin Crew

When livelihoods and careers depend upon results, professional pilots and cabin crew come to us.

They turn to The PHOBIAMAN Clinic because they know we are as thorough about looking after our clients and collapsing phobias as they are about flying aircraft and taking care of their passengers. We take it extremely seriously.*

7. We Know More About How to Treat Flying Phobias Than Anyone Else

Having worked with over 9000 people with phobias of all kinds, we understand better than anyone ALL the different components that can make up a flying phobia: (take-off, landing, fear of heights, falling out of the sky, fear of being sick (emetophobia),  Loss of Control, Structural Integrity of the Aeroplane, Engine Failure, Crew Competence, Weather Conditions, Turbulence, Terrorism, Claustrophobia, Panic Attacks, Mental Images, etc.). You name it, we’ve treated it, and we know how to collapse each one thoroughly.*

8. Our Methods Work Where Others Fail

“I’ve tried everything and you’re my last hope!” – We used to hear that a lot.

We don’t hear it so much now, thankfully, because people come straight to us. But if you have tried other therapists or airline industry courses, don’t worry. You deserve a fear-free life and we’re confident we can help.*

Just call our friendly team on 0207 193 5194 and they will answer your questions and explain what may be possible for you. If you are calling from outside the UK the international number is +44 207 193 5194.

You can also contact us using the form on this page and one of us will get back to you straight away.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HYPNOTHERAPY FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING you probably already know that preparation is NOT the key to making the fear go away.

That may work for people who are just nervous. but it won’t work for someone who experiences intense feelings of fear, panic and anxiety just by thinking about it. What they need is a phobia specialist.

Welcome to The Phobiaman Clinic – Harley Street’s Leading Hypnotherapy for Public Speaking Specialists

I’m Alex, veteran member of Paul Mckenna‘s Training Team and Treatment Director at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic in Harley Street, London. Over the last 16 years I have put together a team of the best phobia treatment specialists anywhere.

Together, we have developed a unique hypnotherapy for public speaking programme for treating severe public speaking anxiety. It’s unique because it’s been designed to remove the fear without you having to face it.

We are professional, full time therapists and, together with our specialised fear of public speaking treatment, we may be able to help you overcome the fear in just a few sessions.

That may sound like a wild claim right now, but when you stop to consider that our therapy has already helped over 12,000 others*, hopefully it begins to sound a bit more real.

Luckily, here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic we specialise in treating Phobias, so we understand what it’s like to have a real fear.

And we know that public speaking, despite being one of the most common fears, is NOT necessarily a learned behaviour like other phobias.

This means it won’t always respond to the standard methods that non-specialist clinics rely upon, like relaxation techniques.

Being phobia specialists means we get to work with more phobias than if we tried to treat everything. This has allowed us to notice patterns and to develop our own methods based on what we have found to work for the thousands of other people we have already treated just like you. This is one reason why our success rates are higher. And our training and experience help too.

World-class NLP and Hypnotherapy for Public Speaking

Not only are we phobia specialists, we are also world-class experts in Eriksonian Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). We don’t say this lightly, either.

As veteran members of Paul Mckenna’s training team, we help Paul and Dr Richard Bandler – the man who thought it all up – deliver the largest NLP and Hypnosis trainings in the world. There is no team with more experience anywhere, and all this means we deliver the most powerful and thorough fear of public speaking hypnosis therapy available today.

Public speaking involves skill and planning, but they are skills you can only learn once the fear has gone. And we can help you here too.

As members of Paul’s training team we know how to deliver to an audience. More importantly, we can teach you how to do the same. And we can give you the tools you need to be successful, whether it be a sales or business meeting or presentation, a formal speech, a wedding speech, or delivering a lecture or training.

In short, we can help you get rid of the fear* and then teach you the skills you need to deliver a memorable and brilliant presentation to an audience of any size with confidence. Perhaps, even one that’s remembered for years to come.

Do you Provide Hypnosis for Public Speaking Near Me?

People come from all over the UK for treatment at the Phobiaman Clinic in London. For patients who need to travel further we offer double treatment appointments to reduce the number of times they have to travel to the Capital.

Hypnotherapy for Public Speaking London

Our Public Speaking Hypnotherapy group in London is a group event that we offer twice a year. This is a 2-day public speaking course, where we cover everything we do in the clinic on a group basis. It gives people the chance to practise in front of others in a completely safe and understanding environment.

We encourage our patients who have completed their treatment in the clinic to attend as a refresher.

It is also available to people who have not attended the clinic as a patient; provided we are satisfied that they don’t need the individual attention that we can only provide in the clinic. This makes our treatment much more accessible for people outside London who would like to benefit from treatment excellence that can only be found in Harley Street, without having to travel for multiple appointments.

Does Public Speaking Hypnotherapy Work?

When someone experiences any fear or panic where there is NO real threat to their life, then the fear is unjustified neurologically. It is an erroneous pattern that their brain has developed in the mistaken belief that their life is in danger. Using hypnosis, a skilled phobia specialist can help your unconscious correct the pattern and the fear will usually reduce rapidly.

It works simply because your unconscious doesn’t want to waste resources feeling frightened unnecessarily. So the short answer is, yes, absolutely, hypnosis for fear of public speaking is highly effective.

If you would like to find out if our treatment is going to be right for you, the first step is to call the PHOBIAMAN clinic on 0207 193 5194. Call and speak with one of our friendly therapists and we’ll see if we can help. Just call 0207 193 5194 and speak with a specialist today.

If you are calling from overseas, the number including the international dialing code is +44 207 193 5194

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HYPNOTHERAPY FOR FEAR OF HEIGHTS, you’ve probably already tried facing the fear and discovered it’s NOT a very effective form of treatment.

It may work if you’re just nervous, but it won’t work for someone who experiences intense anxiety and fear just by thinking about being too high or exposed. What they need is a phobia specialist.

Welcome to the PHOBIAMAN Clinic – Harley Street’s Leading Fear of Heights Hypnotherapy Clinic

I’m Alex, veteran member of Paul Mckenna’s Training Team and Treatment Director here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic. Over the last 20 years I have put together a team of some of the best phobia therapists anywhere.

Together, we have developed a unique programme of  hypnotherapy for fear of heights. It’s unique because it’s been designed to help you overcome acrophobia – the name for anxiety or fear of heights – without you having to face it.

We are professional, full time phobia therapists and, with our specialist fear of heights therapy, we may be able to help you in just a few sessions. That may sound like a wild claim but when you stop to consider that our treatment has already helped over 9000 others*, hopefully it begins to sound a bit more real.

Specialists in Hypnotherapy for Fear of Heights

Here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic we specialise in treating fears and phobias with hypnosis. This means we get to work with more of them than we would if we tried to treat everything. So being specialists means we understand them better because we have more experience in treating them.

This focus has allowed us to notice patterns and to develop our own methods – methods you will find nowhere else – based on what we have found to work for the thousands of other people we have treated just like you.

For example, we know fear of heights is NOT ‘learned’ like other phobias, despite being one of the most common.

This means it won’t usually respond to the out-of-the-box phobia treatments and ‘techniques’ that other clinics and therapists rely upon.

They don’t understand that you can’t use the same process they use for, say, hypnotherapy for public speaking to treat a fear of heights.

This is because fear of heights has a different structure to other phobias. If you are afraid of heights you are NOT suffering from a mental health issue. There is nothing wrong with you. You are probably a self-starter – people who have a phobia of heights usually are.

In fact, this higher-than-usual motivation leads directly to the fear you feel when you are near a height or a drop. Or, in other words, when you feel too exposed.

Most therapists don’t understand this and they waste time trying to ‘fix’ something that isn’t broken.  This approach obviously won’t work.

However, once you understand what is driving the panic and anxiety response, it’s much easier to help someone change it.

This is one of the reasons why the results and success rates of our fear of heights hypnotherapy programme are better than those of other clinics and therapists. And our training and experience help too.

World Class NLP and Clinical Hypnotherapy for Fear of Heights

Not only are we phobia specialists, we are also world-class experts in Eriksonian Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). We don’t say this lightly, either.

As veteran members of Paul Mckenna’s training team, we help Paul and Dr Richard Bandler – the man who thought it all up – to deliver the largest NLP trainings in the world. There is no team with more experience anywhere, and all this means we deliver the most powerful and thorough phobia treatment programme available today.

So even if you have tried other therapists or clinics, don’t worry – we still may be able help. But our treatment is no miracle cure. It requires a commitment to the programme over just a few sessions, and a willingness to follow instructions.

If that sounds like the sort of thing you can commit to, and you would like to find out if our treatment is going to be right for you, the first step is to call The PHOBIAMAN Clinic and speak with one of our friendly therapists. Just call 0207 193 5194 and speak with a specialist today.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HYPNOTHERAPY FOR FEAR OF FLYING you probably already know that ‘facing the fear’ just doesn’t work.

Thousands of people fly on business trips several times a month despite having a flying phobia because they have to, and yet the fear remains.

And learning how aeroplanes fly won’t help you overcome fear, either. It may do the trick for people who are slightly nervous. But it won’t help you if you experience intense fear or panic attacks when you think about flying.

If you’ve wasted thousands of pounds on flights that you then refused to board, or ruined the last days of a holiday with flying anxiety and dreading the flight home, you don’t need a physics lesson.

What you need is a phobia specialist…

Welcome to The PHOBIAMAN Clinic – Harley Street’s Leading  Fear of Flying Hypnotherapy Specialists

My name is Alex and I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Director here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic. I am also a veteran member of Paul Mckenna’s Training Team, and in the last 20 years I have put together the best team of phobia treatment specialists anywhere.

Together, we have created a unique fear of flying hypnosis programme for flying anxiety. What makes it unique?

It’s unique because it’s designed to remove your fear without you having to face it.

In fact, the programme we use here at our London hypnotherapy clinic is so effective we may be able to help you get over your fear of flying in just a few sessions.

That may sound like a wild claim right now, but when you stop to consider that we have already helped over 15,000 others*, hopefully it begins to sound a bit more real.

Hypnotherapy for Fear of Flying – Real Results

So, how does our hypnotherapy practice get results like this when so many other therapists and clinics fail? The answer is simple. Here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic, we specialise in treating phobias. This means we understand them better than other therapists – especially therapists who try and treat everything.

Being specialists means we get to work with more phobias, and this has allowed us to notice conscious as well as unconscious patterns during our hypnosis sessions.

Phobias are NOT all the same. They are not all ‘learned behaviours’ (despite what you might read elsewhere), and this is why they don’t always respond to the common out-of-the-box therapy techniques that other clinics and therapists rely upon. They just aren’t effective in many cases.

Fortunately, therapists are NOT all the same either. We have developed our own powerful methods that we use in our hypnotherapy sessions to help thousands of patients just like you to regain control and achieve positive outcomes.

You won’t find these methods anywhere else and this is just one reason why our success rates are higher. But our training and experience help too.

Specialists in Hypnotherapy for Fear of Flying

As well as phobia specialists, we are also world-class masters of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Eriksonian Hypnosis. It’s a claim we can back up easily too.

Having spent decades on Paul Mckenna‘s training team, we’ve helped Paul and Dr Richard Bandler – the man who thought it all up – deliver thousands of hours of training. These are the largest NLP and Hypnosis training courses in the world, delivered to hundreds of thousands of people.

This means we have more experience than anyone, and we deliver the most thorough and effective fear of flying hypnotherapy programme available anywhere today. So, if you’re serious about getting over your fear of flying you’ve found the right place to begin.

Will I discover the Root Cause of my Flying Anxiety, Flying Phobia or Flying Fear?

To be honest, knowing the root cause of your irrational fear doesn’t help you overcome anxiety. There are some kinds of therapy where discovering the ‘root cause is considered the prime objective.

Here at The Phobiaman Clinic, we prefer to focus on changing the anxious thoughts – the patterns of anticipatory anxiety – in the unconscious mind. This allows you to feel calm and feel reassured instead of afraid of flying.

And it doesn’t matter what aspect of air travel makes you feel anxious, either. Whether it’s Whether it’s takeoff, severe turbulence, fear of heights, crew competence, terrorism, lack of control or enclosed spaces and feeling trapped, or just feeling the plane is going to fall out of the sky, (even though you know logically that it’s not). We’ve worked with people with all of these fears and more to make positive changes.

And because we work with both the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, there is nowhere for your flight anxiety to hide. The anxious feelings and negative thoughts will be replaced with confidence and calm.

If you would like to find out if our programme is going to be right for you, the first step is to call The PHOBIAMAN Clinic. You can speak with one of our friendly therapists and see if we can help. We often have a waiting list of several weeks so please call as soon as you can so we can make sure we can get you treated in time.

Just call our team on 0207 193 5194 and we will answer your questions and explain what may be possible for you. If you are calling from outside the UK the international number is +44 207 193 5194.

Fear of Flying Hypnotherapy Success Stories

Arnon Ho – London

I just want to say a huge thank you for helping me getting over the fear of flying. It had been a long journey and you made it so easy for me to realise, how enjoyable flying can be.

Once again many thanks.

Justine Parker – Somerset

Hi Alex
I hope my email finds you well? I just wanted to let you know that I recently managed to take 2 flights. One to Ireland (October) and Amsterdam (November). I was a bit trepidatious but managed to keep away from the bar 😬

I sat in the window, plugged into my noise reduction headphones and actually smiled as we took off….
Even with a significant amount of turbulence (Irish weather) I remained calm and in my opinion somewhat detached from the experience.

I am now planning a trip to New York, so apart from the abject boredom of a long haul flight, I’m feeling pretty ok.

Thank you 🙏
Merry Christmas Alex

Martin Church – Bedford

Morning Alex,

Long time no speak. Just to let you know since we met I have been on 5 flights and have another two booked for early September, and I am looking forward to booking some more.

Something clicked somewhere and now I see it as my preferred mode of transport.

Best wishes, Martin Church

Fear of Flying Treatment FAQ

Do you offer Hypnotherapy for Fear of Flying Near Me?

Our reputation is global and people travel from all over the world to access our treatment. So we have based ourselves in London for easy accessibility for all. The clinic is easily reachable from all London Rail Terminals.

Do you Offer Hypnotherapy for Fear of Flying for Children?

Most definately! In fact, children often respond faster to the treatment than adults. We have successfully treated children as young as 8 years old and all ages above. All children must be accompanied by a parent throughout the treatment.

I’ve had Fear of Flying Therapy before and it didn’t work. What makes you different?

Around 50% of our patients have tried other therapists before they come to us. Unfortunately, they found the results didn’t live up to the claims made by these other providers.

Without knowing who you saw it’s difficult to say why it didn’t work. But the most common reason we find is the therapist wasn’t a phobia specialist.

There are therapists who claim to specialise in phobias when they clearly don’t. A quick click around their websites usually reveals treatments for dozens of other issues like smoking, addictions, weightloss, etc. Sometimes, they even claim to specialise in those other fields too.

Here at The Phobiaman Clinic, we only treat phobias and nothing else, and this is what makes us different.

Other common reasons for a poor outcome are:

• trying to complete the full treatment in a single session
• trying to treat people online
• insufficient experience

Any of these factors will reduce the likelyhood of a successful result.
