Hypnotherapy for Fear of Heights in London
Hello, I’m Susannah. I’m a fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist with over 22 years of experience helping people overcome their fear of heights.
I hold the Senior Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (SQHP) from the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC), and the HPD from the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). If you’re looking for hypnotherapy for acrophobia, I’d be happy to help.
Whether it’s looking over a balcony, climbing stairs, driving over a bridge or standing on a higher floor of a building, acrophobia can trigger intense fear and panic. Some people feel dizzy or disoriented just thinking about heights, others avoid certain places or activities altogether, even if it means missing out on things they’d really like to do.
That’s where hypnotherapy for fear of heights can help. Hypnosis works with the part of your mind that perceives these situations as dangerous. When you’re in a deep, relaxed hypnotic state, your subconscious becomes open to positive suggestions, allowing us to start changing the sense of danger into a sense of safety, helping you feel calmer and more in control.
I use a combination of NLP and clinical hypnosis to overcome fears and phobias. If your fear of heights stems from a previously traumatic experience, we can help your mind process the event from a state of deep calm, so that it no longer affects you in the future. If your acrophobia has no origin and is purely irrational, we will help your subconscious create a better, more appropriate response to heights.

Hypnosis is a calm, focused state where your mind becomes more receptive to helpful ideas and positive change. Most people find it deeply relaxing, a bit like being half-awake and half-asleep, where your body feels at ease and your mind begins to daydream. It’s a bit like being in a meeting, where your mind wanders even though you are aware that someone is talking. We use this state to help your brain rewire those old patterns and create a new, more confident response.
My Hypnotherapy for fear of heights programme can help you:
- Feel calmer and at ease when high up
- Rebuild a sense of safety and trust in those situations
- Manage stress and emotions without relying on alcohol
- Change the limiting beliefs at the root of the fear
- Stop avoiding places or experiences you’d like to enjoy
- Let go of those “what if” thoughts and feel more in control
How Hypnotherapy for Fear of Heights Works
Your brain is wired for survival, and acrophobia is simply your mind’s way of trying to protect you. When you’re somewhere high up, your brain might misinterpret the situation as dangerous, even if you know logically that you’re safe. This is your natural alarm system kicking in, often referred to as your fight or flight response.
When this alarm goes off, your body prepares to act fast. Your heart might race, your legs might feel shaky, or you might feel dizzy or unsteady. Some people get a sudden urge to move away, while others are paralysed by panic.
The more this happens, the more your brain starts to link height with fear, and the response becomes automatic, even in situations that aren’t dangerous. But the good news is, your brain is also capable of learning new patterns.
Hypnotherapy for acrophobia offers a gentle and effective way to update your mind’s response to heights, helping you feel calmer, safer, and back in control.
