There is a whole-hog creation out slick tailor-made waiting for you to visit and explore and the only thing stopping you is your fear of flying.

There can be many causes of flying phobia. One thing is for sure, it is a fear we learn from somewhere and not something with which we are born.

Do you know what is at the root of your fear of flying? Could it be fear and anxiety about:

- Weather and Turbulence

- Serviceability of aircraft or the skills of the pilot

- Risk of collision, lack of confidence in air traffic control

- Flying over water and ditching

- Take off and Landing

- Fear of heights or enclosed spaces

- Health risks such as DVT

- or more generalised fears and panic attacks

No matter what the cause I believe it is possible for you to overcome your fear of flying.

Statistics prove that flying is a very safe mode of transport but statistics do not comfort those who are afraid to fly. I believe that by helping you to identify what underlies your fear of flying it then becomes possible to find the best solution to cure your aviophobia.

I invite you to spend some time, in a relaxed state, exploring in your minds eye what underlies your fear. When you find it dont stay there merely be curious and move on. It is by coming to an understanding of what is triggering this fear that you have the best chance of overcoming your fear of flying.
