Phobias

A phobia is an overwhelming and unreasonable fear of an object or situation that poses little real danger but provokes anxiety and avoidance. Unlike the brief anxiety most people feel when they give a speech or take a test, a phobia is long lasting, causes intense physical and psychological reactions, and can affect your ability to function normally at work or in social settings.

Counselling can be a highly effective way of treating phobias. By working through your fear in a structured manner, you will begin to redefine and reframe the problem in question, gradually regaining your freedom.
