Phobias

Personal phobias are a wide ranging problem for many people in the UK. The list of potential phobias is endless with some of the main ones including:

• claustrophobia - fear of confined spaces

• arachnophobia - fear of spiders

• acrophobia - fear of heights. 

• social phobias amongst many others

Whatever the cause of the phobia it is important to recognise that it can be treated.

The consultants at The Sefton Suite have extensive experience of dealing with phobias in patients and work closely with them to understand and deal with the problems. This work is often done using cognitive behavioural techniques. 

If you are paying for your own treatment all costs will be discussed and explained prior to any treatment taking place. This will be confirmed in writing along with any surgeon fees, anaesthetist fees and hospital charges prior to admission.
