A phobia is an overwhelming fear of an object or situation that poses little real danger. Unlike the brief anxiety most people feel before taking an exam or giving a public speech, a phobia is long-lasting, causes intense physical and psychological reactions, and can affect your ability to function normally.

I am so grateful I met Joanna. I felt great after the first session. My friend told me about cognitive behaviour therapy and referred me to Joanna.
