Help With a Fear of Dogs, From the Comfort of Your Own Home
A fear of dogs can affect where you walk, who you visit, how you travel and how safe you feel in everyday situations.
The fear may be connected to a bite, a frightening encounter or an experience that happened many years ago. In some cases, you may not know exactly where the fear began. I offer private online sessions designed to help clients change how they respond to that fear without needing to travel or be placed near a dog.

A Focused Online NLP Session
I am a qualified Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner and offer focused online sessions for people with a fear of dogs.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) uses guided mental processes and communication techniques intended to help a person change an established response or pattern. A session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, delivered online so you remain in a comfortable, familiar space. It is almost always resolved in a single session.
A Practitioner Who Understands Dog Behaviour
My background combines NLP practice with 25+ years' experience rehoming and training rescue dogs.
This means I understand both the human experience of fear and the behaviour that people may find difficult to interpret when they encounter a dog. You will not be judged, pressured or told that your fear is irrational.
What Happens During the Session?

At the Beginning
Talk briefly about how the fear affects you. You won't be required to describe traumatic events in unnecessary detail.
Guided Session

After the Session
We discuss how you feel and any sensible next steps. Brief follow-up guidance is provided where appropriate.
Some clients may notice a meaningful change after one focused session. However, individual experiences vary and a particular outcome cannot be guaranteed. If further support appears appropriate, I will discuss that with you honestly.
This service is not emergency mental-health care and is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment where that is required. If your fear is connected to significant trauma, panic attacks or wider mental-health concerns, you may also wish to speak to a suitably qualified healthcare professional.
