Hypnotherapy for Phobias, Fears & Avoidance Patterns in Co. Monaghan

Phobias don’t always come crashing in. Sometimes they’re the quiet voice that says “not today” when you consider getting behind the wheel, or the slight catch in your chest at the thought of flying. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you, it just means something deeper is asking for attention.

I’m Dorren Quinn, based here in Co. Monaghan, and I help you gently unlearn fear so your world can grow again.

When Fear Starts to Shape Your Life

Phobias can be exhausting in their quiet persistence. Maybe it’s the way your heart races when someone suggests a flight, or the detour you take to avoid a dog on the footpath. For others, it’s an intense dread, sudden, consuming, and hard to explain.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients with:

  • Fear of flying

  • Claustrophobia (lifts, small spaces)

  • Driving anxiety

  • Needle or hospital-related fear

  • Fear of vomiting or contamination

  • Animal phobias (dogs, birds, spiders)

  • Fear of choking or swallowing

  • Social Anxiety or fear of large crowds

Phobias may start with one event,  but over time, they can quietly limit your world. That’s why our work goes beyond the surface.

How Hypnotherapy Helps Ease Phobic Responses

Phobias aren’t about logic. That’s why reassuring advice or exposure techniques often fall short.

In hypnotherapy, we work in a natural, focused state — much like a daydream — where your subconscious becomes more open to change. In this space, we can:

  • Identify what’s truly fuelling the fear

  • Release or reframe stuck emotional patterns

  • Build in calm responses where panic once lived

  • Reconnect you to your sense of safety and strength

Hypnotherapy doesn’t make you confront your fears — it helps you rewire your reaction to them. Clients often say they feel a shift even after one session.

What to Expect

Free Initial Consultation

We’ll chat - openly, honestly, about what’s been happening. There’s no pressure. This is where the weight starts to lift.

First Session (90 mins)

We’ll explore the root of the fear, begin hypnotherapy, and get clear on how you'd like life to feel instead.

Follow-Up Sessions

While one session may possibly be sufficient, if needed, follow-up sessions deepen your calm response. The old phobic patterns lose their grip. We move at your pace — not the fear’s.

Some people come with a single phobia. Others feel anxious in multiple areas. Either way, we begin where you are.

Clients Across Co. Monaghan & Beyond

I see clients from across Monaghan Town, Castleblayney, Carrickmacross, Clones, and Ballybay, as well as nearby places like Dungannon, Armagh, Cootehill, Cavan and Enniskillen.

Whether your fear has crept in slowly or arrived all at once,  it can be resolved. And you don’t have to do it alone.

FAQs

  • No. You remain fully aware, just deeply relaxed, like a daydream. You’re in control at every moment.


  • It varies. Many notice a shift within one or two sessions. Deeper patterns may take longer. We’ll take it step by step.

  • Only what you’re comfortable sharing. Much of the work happens subconsciously, it doesn’t require reliving trauma.

  • In my private home clinic in Co. Monaghan, a quiet space that supports safety and ease.
