Does anxiety about flying start long before you reach the airport? You may worry about turbulence, feel trapped on the plane, fear losing control or avoid trips you would otherwise like to take.
David Samson offers confidential online hypnotherapy for people experiencing fear of flying. His approach focuses on understanding the fears and responses connected with travel, with sessions tailored to your situation.
A free 30-minute online consultation gives you the opportunity to explain what happens when you think about flying, ask questions and explore whether hypnotherapy could be suitable for you.

Alexandra Shulman describes her experience of working with David on her fear of flying below. Experiences and results vary.
“I’ve been terrified of flying all my life, absolutely terrified. When I got this job I knew I’d have to fly, which I hadn’t done for years, but I couldn’t turn it down.
I’ve done every type of therapy, fear of flying courses, in-flight simulators, I’ve had drugs, hypnosis, everything, but then somebody recommended a regressive hypnotherapist called David Samson who I saw for eight sessions over three months. The idea is that your fear is learnt behaviour and that you weren’t born scared of flying. It’s hard to explain to someone who isn’t afraid of flying, but whatever he did, it worked.
Last October I went to Tokyo and when it was bumpy on the return flight I slept all the way back, whereas normally I’d be in physical pain and completely terrified, unable to do anything”
