Phobia

Phobia Counseling


We all experience fear and worry, to a degree. However, phobias can cause wide-reaching difficulties and impede day-to-day functioning. Counseling treatment for a Phobia involves working through a therapy program to control the fear.

What Is Phobia Therapy And Counseling?

Phobia counseling is designed around your particular concerns and background history. I will help you find the most suitable way of dealing with your phobia/s. Some examples of phobias that I work with include fear of animals, insects, objects, people (social phobia), enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) or agoraphobia (intense fear about being in public places where you feel escape might be difficult).
