Overcome Phobias: phobia hypnotherapy and counselling for claustrophobia, agoraphobia, social phobia treatment, 
specific phobia, needle phobia, fear of death and others

Do phobias play a part in your life? Are there things in everyday life that scare you more than they should? Are you looking for reliable and effective phobia treatment?

At Bayside Psychotherapy in Brighton you will find some answers!

I’m Adam Szmerling and for many years I have been delivering effective phobia treatment to clients from all walks of life. Phobias can be of many types and relate to many things both large and small… but if there is a feeling or fear that stops you from functioning normally in any situation, then lets deal with it. 

There are many types of phobias – and the good news is that nearly all respond to treatment!

  • Do you suffer from claustrophobia – a fear small or confined spaces – or agoraphobia, which is the combined fear of being in a public place and fear of crowds? I can give you the keys to dealing with these fears.
  • Do you have a needle phobia? Fear of death? Fear of Flying? I can help.
  • Do you struggle to be a happy and relaxed person in social settings? We can work on social phobia treatments.
  • Does any type of fear stop you from functioning normally, or dealing with situations calmly? We should talk.

I can help you deal with a wide range of fears and specific phobias – giving you the tools to deal with them

You can receive my treatments through person to person consultations at my Brighton Bay clinic, Melbourne … Online sessions using Skype (counselling, psychotherapy or mindfulness only - hypnotherapy is included only in my Melbourne clinic),  … as well as recommended MP3 downloads if you want to get some answers FAST. You’ll see them listed at right.

I can help you with a range of treatment approaches

Ideally, you and I would get the chance to work together and discover the root cause of your phobia, what sets it off – and how to deal with it. Things will be kept simple with the goal to give you the tools to deal with your phobia. Treatment approaches can range from Mindfulness Meditation exercises to psychoanalytic work, Neuro Linguistic Programming to phobia hypnotherapy. We’ll find the treatment that is most effective and comfortable for you. The good news is that usually in as little as 3-4 sessions you’ll see positive results.

It’s important to know that Fear is a normal and valid feeling… however when it dominates your life and is out of proportion it becomes a phobia and should be dealt with. Don’t live in fear. Phobias can take many forms – and though they can seem trivial or even silly in some cases, they should be treated. Phobias can include fear of riding in a car or fear of imperfection... fear of clowns or computers… fear of rain or the moon. Phobia treatment means looking at the cause of your phobia and dealing with it… it means you won’t have to suffer from some of the symptoms of phobias such as shortness of breath and accelerated heart rate, shaking or feeling faint, excessive sweating or irritable bowel syndrome.

Take control

Working together we will deal with your phobias so you'll be equipped with specific strategies for when they occur, if the situations arise which trigger them. By calmly understanding how you feel you'll have internal tools to deal with your phobia - which will make for a happier and more relaxed approach to life.

Call on (03) 9530 6353 or email and let’s get started today! But if it's after hours or you want to speed up treatment, you can start with recommended hypnosis MP3 downloads to help overcome phobias.
