Fear of cats (ailurophobia)

Cats are everywhere: in friends’ homes, on garden walls, crossing the street. A fear of cats can make visiting people, or walking down your own road, feel tense.

What it feels like

• Checking whether a friend has a cat before visiting
• Freezing or backing away when a cat comes near
• Worry about being scratched, or a cat jumping up suddenly

Common questions

Where does it come from?

Usually a childhood scratch, a cat leaping out unexpectedly, or growing up around someone who feared cats.

How do sessions work?

I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to cats. 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.
