Hypnotherapy for Ichthyophobia

Professional hypnosis treatments for ichthyophobia, the fear of fish, at the Wombourne clinic in Wolverhampton

Ichthyophobia is the fear of fish.

WARNING – THIS PAGE CONTAINS A PICTURE OF A FISH

The symptoms of Ichthyophobia as well as many other specific phobias are as follows:

• Feelings of panic, dread or terror
• A recognition that the fear goes beyond normal boundaries and is generally disproportionate
• Coulrophobia reactions are generally automatic and uncontrollable and can seem to take over a person’s thoughts
• Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, trembling, tightening of the stomach muscles and an overwhelming desire to escape the situation—all the physical reactions associated with extreme fear or danger
• Extreme measures taken to avoid the feared object or situation (avoidance behaviours)

Ichthyophobia may be the result of negative emotional experiences that may be either directly or indirectly linked to the object or situational fear and has usually become “normalised” over a period of time, in other words accepted as a limiting factor in that person’s life – “I’ve learnt to live with it.”

In just as many cases, Ichthyophobia may have become worse over time as more and more sophisticated avoidance tactics and routines are developed.

The great news is that the vast majority of people suffering Ichthyophobia do NOT have to suffer without hope.

Almost every phobia responds well to psychological interventions.

If you’d like to find out more about overcoming Ichthyophobia then why not make an appointment to see us for a Confidential initial consultation, or click any of the links below to find out about our specific therapies:-

Hypnotherapy for Ichthyophobia

We offer both Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy for a fear of fish – choosing the right type of therapy probably has more to do with you and your personality type rather than which form of therapy is more effective.

Hypnotherapy for Young Adults

Research into 18–25-year-olds seeking therapy found that there are a number of barriers to help-seeking including difficulty identifying the problem, concerns about stigma, preference for self-reliance and uncertainty about where to go for help.

At Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy we have developed two distinct pathways to address these specific limitations, firstly a page dedicated to hypnotherapy for young adults and secondly, a page outlining how parents can help their son or daughter access therapy without taking-over or imposing the need for therapy upon them.

Initial Consultations

Joan offers all prospective clients a low cost (£30) initial consultation to discuss your mental health concerns.

During this 50 minute consultation Joan will discuss the various options that are available to you and make a considered recommendation based on your individual personal circumstances.

At Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy we understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship and so place a great emphasis on being able to meet PRIOR to agreeing any kind of help.

Our policy is to help people make a fully balanced & considered decision about undertaking therapy with us, including both the financial, work-load and personal implications.
