I understand you might have doubts about curing a long-standing phobia so quickly. Here are clear, honest answers to our most common enquiries about how our sessions work and what you can expect.

Why is this service called the Phobia Dr?
I am not a doctor of any kind. I am a certified psychotherapist, communication coach, hypnotherapist, NLP Master and NLP Trainer. The reason I use the name 'the Phobia Dr.' is due to the fact that when I first began helping people to cure themselves of their phobias, most of my new business came from word-of-mouth.

Often, when a prospective client called me to arrange the initial consultation, they would start the call by asking if I was the Phobia Dr. It was a handle that was simple, straightforward and summed up what I did, and it stuck. And it is for those reasons I continue to use it. 

 

How do you guarantee a client’s satisfaction?
Each person is unique and has their own idea of what will cause them to be satisfied with this service. During the initial, free consultation, I ask questions that will help them identify what conditions need to be met for them to feel satisfied. I will only take them on as a client if I am confident I can meet those conditions.

 

How much does this service cost?
As I want to help as many people to overcome their phobias as quickly, painlessly and affordably as possible, I do not charge for the service, but do rely upon donations.

The more people donate, the more I am able to help those who cannot afford to pay the price I used to charge (€300) before retiring due to medical issues. My current situation allows me to set aside six 1 hour slots per week to help sufferers overcome their phobias.

A minimum donation of €90 is required for a client to be scheduled into one of the six slots available per week. Unfortunately, there are some people who cannot afford to pay more than that. Based upon the kindness of those who can afford larger donations (whether they merely want to donate because they believe in my cause, or they donate generously after resolving their phobia) I am able to help those in a less fortunate financial position.

What success rate has this method achieved so far?
For every ten phobia sufferers I have worked with, eight out of ten experienced total resolution after one session. Out of the remaining two, one experienced total resolution after a second session. The one in ten that was not cured, was the result of my failure to recognise that what they thought was a phobia was in fact a fear or anxiety, both of which require different methods for resolution.
