Claustrophobia is common and it can shape everyday choices in ways that feel exhausting to explain to people who don't share it. There are proven, practical ways to feel calm and in control again and this programme walks you through a clear, supportive process at your own pace.

What to expect, step by step

Everything happens by video call, at a pace you set.

  1. A calm, judgement-free first conversation about what's really going on for you

  2. A clear process to get specific about your actual trigger, not just "confined spaces" in general

  3. Practical techniques to help you work with your reaction instead of avoiding the space

From people who came for this too

Hi Lewis, just to let you know I got through the MRI yesterday and confident that I could do another one. I was a little bit shaky initially but calmed after reassuring myself i was safe. Thanks so much for all your help

I had claustrophobia for over half a century. Not any more. A combination of video programmes sent to me by Lewis, a small number of ninety minute therapy sessions, and my own dedication to gradually expose myself to small spaces, and I have overcome the fear and possibility of becoming out of control with panic if ever I were trapped somewhere small. This is the perfect combination of friendly, supportive therapy, and rigorously professional and effective techniques. I was so fearful and skeptical that nothing could help me with my phobia. I'm so pleased to say I was wrong. Lewis and his approach have been life-changing. I can't praise or thank him enough.

Too excited to wait and tell you my little wins today! I interviewed again, went great. Visited some friends in the village myself, drove my car (with my dad) without any heavy breathing to a dental appointment and didn't freak out there and drove home! I also didn't cry once! It's the first day I have felt remotely normal in 5 weeks.

Questions people often ask

How many sessions will I need?

Many people notice real change within a small number of focused sessions, though this varies from person to person.

Do sessions happen online?

Yes, sessions are held online by video call, so you can take part from home.

Is this the same as fear of being trapped?

Not quite. Claustrophobia is about the space itself, while fear of being trapped (cleithrophobia) is about not being able to escape. They're often confused and some people experience both. Either way, this is something I can help with.

£150 per session. Most people work with me over 4–6 sessions. Your first consultation is free.
