Emetophobia is the intense fear of illness, or being sick. Surprisingly common among people, but often overlooked as people who suffer from it are convinced it’s silly or are embarrassed about it. Having clients before who suffer, it’s things like:
When you’re constantly worried about being sick, or those around you becoming ill, then it’s simply exhausting and could control many aspects of your life. By overcoming your fears of becoming ill, you can enjoy company with friends at parties and social events without having to always worry about catching anything or who’s touched what. You’ll be free to pick up the kids from school and enjoy meals out again and get more in control of your life.
After all, you weren’t born with the phobia of sickness. A lot of people are discovering this now that the world has gone through it in the worst possible sense – it’s ok to feel how you feel. I can help you unlearn that fear however to help you move forward in life again without constant fears of the worst case scenario.

Emetophobia, the fear of being sick, is rarely spoken of but a very prevalent phobia with over 3 million suffering today in the UK alone. Often when I speak to clients they have tried everything to no avail and always succumb to the debilitating fear. I’ll look to find the cause of your phobia in an attempt to rid it from your life.
It’s very common to feel silly and embarrassed about the thought of being scared about being sick. With some people actually being laughed at for the mere mention to medical professionals, only to be left even more in the dark and less likely to open up about it further. Thankfully by mentioning it to me they learned to overcome their fear and are finally able to live their life without fear of being sick or vomiting.
So if you or anyone you know is suffering from the thought of becoming sick, or it’s constantly on their mind about keeping safe, then I can help as a Hypnotherapist. There really is a solution.
Little has been researched about this phobia, and studies undertaken have had very few participants. Generally Emetophobia is considered very difficult to treat
Exposure treatments are counter intuitive, since the sight of vomit is an emetophobe’s worst nightmare, so you can imagine the panic that would follow. Although some people can be helped through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) this isn’t always proven to be effective as it doesn’t decrease symptoms of the phobia.
During our 1 to 1 sessions, we will address the primary beliefs which are limiting you. We’ll work on your self esteem as well, potential social anxiety and removing subconscious blockages. With your newfound knowledge you will be empowered to use the skills I intend to teach you on how to overcome your phobia.
Read here about a lady’s experience of emetophobia, she’s been suffering for years and her life was extremely limited as she was always worried about becoming sick during long drives – resulting in her worrying and actually making herself sick anyway. Within a few weeks her life was completely changed and even went on to set up her own business – with all her travel to and from meetings included.
Sessions are undertaken in calming surroundings, making sure you’re as relaxed and completely free of being judged.
You really can be freed of your emetophobia through hypnosis. I’ve helped numerous people who’ve been suffering in the past and I know all too well how much this debilitating phobia can control your daily life. I look forward to having a 1 to 1 session with you.
I look forward to helping you

Fantastic experience. I now look forward to each day instead of dreading what might happen. I have not had an anxiety attack or worried over silly uncontrollable things since. Claire is a very good listener and easy to talk to. She seems to know exactly how you feel. My life is definitely enhanced. I am happier, stronger and able to deal with situations better. I feel braver, much more confident and optimistic. Thank you again so much
It changed my way of thinking. I have a clearer view of everything. I always left feeling uplifted. I’m more confident, more positive. Very relaxing and friendly. In a word – life changing. I would, and have, recommended to friends
I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Claire. She herself was so friendly and welcoming whilst still remaining professional. I think Claire is awesome. Very inspiring. My actual session was brilliant. I felt so relaxed and chilled out. I left feeling as though I didn’t have a single worry in the world. Thank you again Claire.
I’m so glad that I discovered Claire, she is amazing and so supportive. I’ve lost 16lb in 3 weeks and feel healthier and more positive than I have for years. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much!
Claire is brilliant – I just wish I had gone to her sooner! I’m no longer anxious and I have completely changed my life around. I am finally free of fears that were holding me back and I have a very exciting future ahead.
Having struggled for 40 years with anxiety, panic attacks and numerous phobias, and trying everything from cognitive behaviour therapy, hypnotherapy, hands on healing and prescription medication in an effort to overcome it, I had all but given up. A friend recommended Claire. After 6 amazing sessions, I feel like a different person! If you are reading this, and wanting to change your life, give Claire a call, you won’t regret it
You gave me tools to use that made it easier to cope – most importantly to be aware. It was a really beneficial time.
Claire is incredible. I saw her 5 years ago and she helped me to realise the power of my mind and how I can change the way I feel about certain situations. Just recently my son suddenly started to suffer with anxiety, after a few sessions with Claire the difference in him is amazing.
I simply cannot recommend Claire enough – she will help you to change your life!
Just to say I’ve managed to get about a stone off since I saw you last. The biggest change being that I joined the gym and now no longer have a fear of joining in classes. I’ve lost 20 inches overall! Thank you so much for helping me change my mind set.
