Fear of cancer (carcinophobia)

Worrying about cancer is understandable. When the worry takes over, with constant checking, searching symptoms online or avoiding the doctor, it starts to shape your life.

What it feels like

• Checking your body for changes, again and again
• Searching symptoms online and fearing the worst
• Avoiding the doctor, or going repeatedly for reassurance

Please keep up your screenings and see your GP about any symptom that worries you. Hypnotherapy works on the fear, alongside your medical care.

Common questions

Where does it come from?

It often follows the illness or loss of someone close, or a health scare of your own. Sometimes it’s part of wider health anxiety.

How do sessions work?

I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to worries about cancer. Sessions are one to one over Zoom, and you get a recording of the hypnosis to listen to afterwards.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients notice a real difference after one 90 minute session. If the fear goes back a long way, three sessions gives us room to make the change stick.
