Phobias & Fears | Online & in Newport
Are phobias and fears holding you back from living your life to the fullest? Imagine a life where you can face situations that once terrified you with calm confidence.
At Reaching Potential, I believe you already have the ability to make positive changes. Through Solution Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, we can work together to help you feel calmer, more confident and more in control when faced with the things that currently cause you fear.
How can Solution Focused Therapy help with phobias and fears?
You can learn to respond differently to the things that frighten you.
Phobias and fears can sometimes have a bigger impact on your life than you would like. You may find yourself avoiding certain situations, changing your plans or worrying about what might happen.
Whether it’s a fear of flying, heights, spiders, driving, social situations or something else, you may have become used to managing your life around your fear.
At Reaching Potential, I believe that positive change is possible. Through Solution Focused Therapy, we can focus on where you want to be, build on your existing strengths and explore ways to help you feel calmer and more confident.
“You don’t have to let fear decide what you can and can’t do.”

You don’t need to let your fears hold you back.

1.Focus on what you want
Rather than concentrating on the problem, we identify what you would like to feel, think and do differently.
2.Build on your strengths
We explore the strengths and resources you already have and use these to help you develop new ways of responding.
