Whether you have been afraid of flying your entire life, or panic attacks have suddenly started appearing out of nowhere on planes, you are not alone — and this is one of the most treatable forms of anxiety we see.
Fear of flying does not just affect you. It affects the people around you. Holidays cancelled at the last minute. Family trips that never happen. Friends and partners who plan around your fear without ever saying so. Professionals who watch opportunities disappear because a flight stands between them and the next step.
You already know the cost. What you need to know is that it does not have to stay this way.
Using clinical hypnotherapy, advanced NLP and modern neuroscience-backed techniques, we eliminate flying anxiety at its root, the subconscious patterns that trigger panic the moment you think about a plane — so you can book that holiday, take that business trip, and get on with your life.
Fear of flying is not about the plane. It is about what your subconscious mind has learned to associate with flying, and that is exactly what we change.
Step 1 — Your Free Assessment Call: We start with a free call to understand your flying anxiety, how it developed, whether it is a lifelong fear or something that appeared more recently, and whether there are any other anxiety factors we need to address alongside it.
Step 2 — Your Personal Programme: We design a short, focused programme around your specific flying anxiety. Most clients see full resolution in 2 to 3 sessions. Where flying anxiety exists alongside other anxiety issues, we address both together so the results last.
Step 3 — Your Sessions: In person at our Gosforth clinic or online via secure video. Sessions are relaxed, professional and completely confidential. We also give every client practical techniques and exercises to use on the day of travel, on the journey to the airport and during the flight itself, so you have everything you need before you even board.
Step 4 — Back In The Air: You leave with the subconscious shifts and practical tools to fly calmly and confidently — wherever in the world you want to go.
Driving anxiety shows up differently for everyone. We regularly work with clients who experience:
A lifelong fear of flying that has never been properly resolved
Sudden onset panic attacks on planes with no obvious trigger
Anxiety that starts days or weeks before a flight
Fear of turbulence, take-off, landing or being unable to escape
Panic that kicks in the moment they arrive at the airport
Cancelled holidays, missed family trips and avoided destinations
Professionals whose careers are being affected by an inability to fly
People who have tried other approaches including hypnotherapy elsewhere without success
"So after a lifelong fear of flying I sought help from Mark. I only had one two hour session with him and was quite sceptical having unsuccessfully tried hypnotherapy with a different practitioner in the past.
Fast forward, I have now experienced several flights. Instead of my usual anxious state when arriving at the airport I now look forward to this being the start of my holiday.
I have previously cancelled holidays on the day of my flight. I have even been frogmarched onto a plane as I was about to bolt. Anyone who knows me knows this is nothing short of a miracle.
Please let him help you too."
— Julie, Newcastle, lifelong fear of flying resolved in one session
Whatever form your flying anxiety takes, and however long you have been living with it, we can help
Flying anxiety rarely stays contained to the moment of boarding. For most people it spreads much further than that.
The holiday planning that never gets started because you already know how it ends. The family trip your partner has quietly stopped suggesting. The work conference you found a reason to avoid. The friends who have learned not to invite you because they know flying is off the table.
Then there is the financial cost. Cancelled flights. Lost deposits. Holiday insurance that does not cover anxiety. The cumulative cost of years of avoiding something that most people do without thinking.
And for professionals, the career cost. Business trips missed. Opportunities not taken. Conversations with managers that nobody wants to have.
Our clients do not just get on planes. They get their lives back.
Jason came to us after suddenly developing panic attacks on planes that were beginning to affect his job and his relationship with his employer. Flying had gone from something he did without thinking to something that was threatening his career.
In just two sessions, Jason went from terrified to being the most confident person on the flight, and not just on planes.
The confidence built through his sessions extended to every aspect of his travel, transforming business trips from a source of dread into something he handles with complete ease.
— Jason, Newcastle, sudden onset flying anxiety resolved in 2 sessions
Fast results. Most flying anxiety clients see full resolution in 2 to 3 sessions.
Julie resolved a lifelong fear in a single two hour session.
We eliminate it, not manage it. We do not give you breathing exercises to get through the fear. We remove the subconscious trigger causing the fear in the first place, and we also give you practical techniques to use on the day so you feel supported every step of the journey.
We work with the whole picture. Flying anxiety often exists alongside other anxiety issues. We address everything together so the results are complete and lasting.
It works even if other approaches have not. Julie had previously tried hypnotherapy with another practitioner without success. The approach matters as much as the therapy itself.
Award-winning practice. Three Best Rated in Newcastle every year since 2018, independently verified, not self-nominated.
In person or online. Sessions at our Gosforth clinic or via secure video, whichever works best for you.
A: Most clients see full resolution in 2 to 3 sessions. Where flying anxiety exists alongside other anxiety issues, a slightly longer programme may be recommended. Some clients, like Julie, have resolved a lifelong fear in a single session. We will give you an honest assessment on your free call.
A: Absolutely not. All the work happens in your sessions before you travel. We also give every client practical techniques and exercises to use on the day,at the airport, during boarding and on the flight itself — so you feel fully supported without needing anyone else present.
A: No. Julie had a lifelong fear of flying and resolved it in one session. The length of time you have been afraid does not determine how treatable the issue is. In many cases, long-standing fears respond just as quickly as more recent ones.
A: Sudden onset flying anxiety is very common and extremely treatable. The subconscious mind can develop anxiety responses at any point in life, often triggered by an experience that seemed minor at the time. We work with both lifelong and sudden onset flying anxiety regularly.
A: Yes — and quickly. Jason came to us with flying anxiety that was causing problems with his employer and resolved it in two sessions. If your career is being affected, the sooner you address it the better.
A: This is something we hear regularly. The approach matters enormously. Julie had previously tried hypnotherapy elsewhere without success before coming to us. Our combination of clinical hypnotherapy, advanced NLP and neuroscience-backed techniques goes significantly deeper than standard hypnotherapy, which is why we achieve results where other approaches have not.
A: Yes, online sessions via secure video deliver exactly the same results as in-person sessions at our Gosforth clinic. Many clients prefer online, and for people whose anxiety extends to travelling to appointments, it removes any barrier to getting started.
