About Aerophobia
Phobia Overview
For most people, it’s perfectly natural to feel a little uneasy at take-off or when going through a bit of turbulence. However, when the level of anxiety hinders a person’s ability to travel by air, it can be classed as aerophobia (also called aviophobia) or fear of flying. Although data is limited and there are no definite numbers, this certainly is one of the bigger phobias. According to the National Institute for Health, fear of flying affects approximately 6.5% of the US population. That’s around 21 million people in the US alone.
Aerophobia Symptoms
Physical Symptoms
Common symptoms include breathlessness, dizziness, sweating, nausea and other panic-related symptoms.
Cognitive Symptoms
Somebody that has a fear of flying will battle with thoughts and feelings that increase anxiety levels even in anticipation of a flight. Common symptoms include:
- Dreading a flight instead of looking forward to visiting the destination on the other side
- Unnecessarily worrying about the mechanics or safety of an aircraft
- Feelings of helplessness and being out of control with the process of flying
Behavioural Symptoms
As with most phobias, avoidance is a common behaviour. In the case of a fear of flying, sufferers tend to put off going anywhere that could mean they have to get on a plane. This can stretch relationships with loved ones over long distances and potentially cripple a career. Some of the common behavioural symptoms are:
- Declining to visit friends/family or turning a job offer down where flying is required
- Choosing a long road trip over a more convenient short flight.
Specialist support
When helping my clients, I’m able to draw on years of experience in treating phobias. This ensures you receive therapy that is efficient, safe and effective. Our sessions together will be highly informative, interesting and professional. You’ll gain a complete understanding of what drives irrational fear and, more importantly, how to eliminate it quickly and comfortably.

- Relieve the excessive anxiety (panic) response when thinking of or being faced with air travel
- Retain rational control when flying
- Overcome your fear naturally without the use of medication

I am so glad I decided to work with Filipe to help me with driving anxiety. Filipe is very kind and reassuring. I started to feel better after the first session and it got even better from there. If you’re considering whether to try this treatment – you should!

I would really recommend Filipe. The programme of three sessions is very nicely structured and educational and the hypnotherapy techniques were effective and clearly designed carefully to tackle a phobia, compared to some more general hypnotherapy I had tried before with little success. Overall it’s not a magic cure but it puts you on the path to success and to feeling more confident and capable so you can get on with life and feeling a bit better each day. Thank you!

Filipe’s treatment is truly life changing. I came to him for treatment due to anxiety around public speaking – I had a panic attack during a work presentation 4 weeks ago, and that was the final straw and when I knew I really needed to change something.
I’d heard about Filipe through a friend and from the first introductory session, I just knew I was in good hands with an incredible therapist. I just completed my 3rd session and I cannot believe the difference. I did a presentation last week, and another today and I felt incredibly relaxed and dare I say… I actually enjoyed it!
I am leading a full team day tomorrow, something which would already be filling me with nerves and dread and I keep forgetting I have this day long presentation – which I think goes to show the impact. This is something I would have been losing sleep over only 4 weeks ago.
Filipe – you are extraordinary. I am grateful for your help, guidance and support.
