THERAPY FOR FEAR OF FLYING:
FLY WITH CONFIDENCE
The fear of flying (aviophobia) can severely limit your travel, career, and personal life. At Horizon Counselling Service, Dr. Pott specializes in helping people overcome this specific phobia. She combines highly effective, specialized therapies—including Clinical Hypnosis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR—to help you address the root cause of your fear and achieve your goal of flying in the future.
Our sessions are focused on creating lasting change by understanding the history of your fear, how it limits your life, and the specific goals you have related to wanting to fly.
Targeted History: We take a detailed history to pinpoint where the fear began and how it has grown over time.
Specialized Techniques: Dr. Pott uses advanced techniques to address this fear at its core, including:
Clinical Hypnosis: To change subconscious responses to the fear.
EMDR for Phobias: To reprocess and neutralize the trauma or panic linked to flying.
ACT: To commit to valued action (travel) despite anxious feelings.
Imagery & Visualization: Imagery, visualizations, and exposure techniques are often a core component of the therapy process, helping your brain safely practice flying before you ever step on a plane.
Collaborative Care: If your fear is linked to additional phobias (like a fear of heights), Dr. Pott may collaborate with other occupational therapists or professionals to provide holistic support.
