Hi Jaqui
I am an NLP and hypnotherapist (trained at the RCN then by Paul McKenna and the developer of NLP, Richard Bandler).
I am unsure why a hypnotherapist who is good at their craft would need to take between 4-6 sessions. I am not looking for work but I have successfully treated a man with a severe phobia of flying in one hour of NLP. There are other NLP/hypnotherapy qualified OH practitioners who contribute to the list. They may give their perspective.
Best
Anne

Hi all
Thanks for replies. This guy is a nice grump and wants to get back on the planes as he has a holiday booked in a few weeks and I don't think his wife is overly enamoured at the prospect of cancelling! I think he was expecting the online cbt to help but is frustrated it didn't. He had awful reactions to medication and his underlying health issues limit what can be used. He is thinking of hypnotherapy but I don't want to make a recommendation that isn't supported in evidence as it will cost around 125 per session and he's been told to expect 4-6 sessions.his insurance won't cover it and they have told him they will cover the cost of a psychiatrist. They gave him the name of three he could see who "might" help. At present I am trying to offer advice to him and his company so he can go on his hols then pick up long haul early in 16 as his other health issues are being stabilised.
His employer may even help with the cost but again I don't want to recommend they spend money on something not proven to work

I would be tempted to explore whether there are other reasons why travel isn't something he wants to do, it might be something else, social, domestic or personal preference. There are plenty of ways to combat phobias (whatever they are) and most involve graded exposure. Is the company asking for direction in this and are they willing to pay for him to have treatment, or are you trying to find a solution on his behalf. If it's the latter, it's him who has the issue and him that needs to travel, maybe he needs some ownership of the problem?

Hi
Does anyone know what the recommended therapy for claustrophobia is? I have a senior manager who has had a bout of depression due to multiple health issues. Mood wise they are back to their normal state. The person has a "grumpy and cantankerous" personality - their words not mine! They have tried CBT online via GP without success. The problem is the role involves overseas travel, they are not afraid of flying just the closed in space. Meeting rooms in the workplace have glass walls so there is no problem in the office any advice would be gratefully received
