HELPING YOU FINALLY BE FREE FROM TRAUMA AND PHOBIAS
Fear of Dogs or Cats
Overcome Your Fear of Dogs and Cats with Hypnotherapy in Exeter
Do Cats or Dogs Trigger Fear or Anxiety for You?
If the thought of being near a cat or dog makes you feel anxious or unsafe, you're not alone.
Cynophobia (the fear of dogs) and Ailurophobia (the fear of cats) are two of the most common animal-related phobias. These fears can impact your daily life, limit your ability to visit friends or family, and create anxiety in public spaceswhere pets may be present.
The good news is, you don’t have to live with this fear forever.

Why Does the Fear of Bugs Feel So Strong?
Your fear isn’t logical, it’s subconscious.
Even though you know most cats and dogs won’t harm you, your subconscious mind triggers a fear response automatically. This can happen due to:
✔ A past negative experience with an animal
✔ Learned behaviour from a parent or someone close to you
✔ An unknown subconscious trigger
How Hypnotherapy Can Help You Overcome Your Fear of Cats or Dogs?
Hypnotherapy works by rewiring your subconscious mind, where the fear is stored.
Using a unique combination of hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and other powerful techniques, I help you remove the fear response from your subconscious, allowing you to feel calm and relaxed when near cats or dogs. This approach stops your automatic fear reaction and gives you back full control over how you feel, for good.

I went to Stuart for my fear of cats, dogs and wasp. I've always been sceptical about hypnotherapy but have heard a lot of good thing about it so thought I would give it a go. My phobias have been dictating my life for much to long, to the point where I couldn't take my daughter to the park just incase there was a dog etc. I would get chest pains on just seeing one, and would always go out of my way to avoid them.
I saw Stuart about a month ago and I really can't believe the difference that just one session has done! Stuart was very professional and made me feel very comfortable which was appreciated. I have come across cats and dogs and not only have I not had the chest pains but I have carried on in my path and walked past them, being aware they are there, but not scared! I've even taken my daughter up to dartmoor and been round someone's house and sat down in the same room as a dog! (This has never happened in my 29 years of life!).
There are other parts of my life that I've noticed a change in, I am a complete introvert and would rather spend time in my own company than others, but sinse having the hypnotherapy I actually want to be around people which is a completely new feeling for me, my best guess was it was some kind of defence mechanism to keep me away from the dreaded question 'I'd love to come round for a coffee - oh wait, do you have pets?'. I used to get very anxious if I had to walk on the inside of a pavement incase someone opened their front door and a dog or cat came out, literally the day after I saw Stuart I was walking along and half way down the road I realised I was on the inside and I wasn't even bothered. This is just amazing, it has really changed my life and can't be thankful enough to Stuart for helping me through it.
