Fear of the dark (nyctophobia)
Plenty of children are afraid of the dark. For some adults the fear never quite left, and it can affect sleep, living alone and going out at night.
What it feels like
- Sleeping with a light on
- Unease walking or being alone at night
- Every noise feeling like a threat once the lights go off
Common questions
Where does it come from?
Usually it starts in childhood and simply never got updated. A frightening experience at night, or a film, can also set it off.
How do sessions work?
I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to the dark. 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.
