What is the fear of flying?

Fear of flying, also known as aviophobia, is an anxiety response linked to flying or the thought of flying. It may involve fear of turbulence, heights, losing control, or panic symptoms. It is very common and can be successfully supported with fear of flying treatment such as Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy.

SFH works by guiding you into a relaxed, focused state where the subconscious mind is more open to positive suggestions. This helps lower the fight-or-flight response and replace anxious reactions with calm and rational responses.

This varies for each person. Many people notice positive changes within a few sessions. Typically, focused work over 6-8 sessions can significantly reduce anxiety and increase confidence when flying.
