Claustrophobia Ireland

Hi, my name is Paul Hunter. If you’ve been suffering from claustrophobia and you have been googling looking for solutions, you’ve come to the right page.
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, CBT Practitioner and Life Coach based in Ballincollig in Cork. For the past fifteen years I have been helping people overcome their claustrophobic symptoms.
Using hypnosis and CBT, I can help you;
- find and remove the root cause of your phobia
- learn powerful techniques to release fear
- install new responses in small or confined spaces
- feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions
I have gotten questions over the years about claustrophobia meaning. In other words, what is the definition of claustrophobia. I like this one from the NHS in England
“Claustrophobia is the irrational fear of confined spaces”
One of the most practical events where this can limit you is trying to have an MRI with claustrophobia. If you’re wondering “is claustrophobia common?”, the answer is yes. About 10% of people will get this problem at some stage of their lives. If you’d like to find out about how I can help you, click on the button below to make an enquiry.

How Do You Get Claustrophobia?

Some of the most common causes of claustrophobia happen during childhood, such as:

- suffering sexual abuse, physical abuse or emotional abuse

Treatment With Hypnosis & CBT In Cork

Let me ask you a couple of questions:
- What if it was easy to get over your claustrophobia using hypnosis?
- What if you knew it was definitely going to work?
The most important part of any cure is belief! Using hypnosis, we can install a belief in your mind that from now on that:
- small spaces are comfortable and safe
- being confined or unable to leave a situation is just an opportunity to relax.
