What is it that you are doing, being, or feeling that you don’t want to?

Or what is it that you cannot do, or be, or feel, that you do want to?


I’m Howard Samuels, specialising in anxiety and phobias therapy Yorkshire.
I have been treating all varieties of anxiety disorders and phobias, the
two main categories of mental distress, for over 30 years.

How I can help you

 Help with Anxiety

 ANXIETY is the central bond in the chain that links Fears and Phobias 

 Anxiety is the emotion you feel when your body prepares itself for some form of perceived threat. 

If the source is within you and your thought processes then these are Fears

Whether it’s feelings of Acute Anxiety and panic attacks, PTSD or OCD, or Generalised Anxiety and constantly experiencing unease and feelings of worry and self-doubt, I provide effective psychotherapy solutions to help you reduce or end your symptoms and the effects which they are having on your everyday life and those around you.

  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder
  •  Acute Anxiety/Panic Disorder
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Help with Phobias

If a PHOBIA of any type is stopping you enjoying your life to the full, then I provide effective psychological help.

This may be commonly occurring, such as fear of certain animals, fear of flying, driving, fear of dentistry or medical procedures, fear of conditions in the environment, and very many others.

OR,  it may appear that your phobia is completely random and hard for you to explain.

Whatever the presentation I have many years of dealing with the most extreme conditions.

  • Dental Phobias
  • Flight Phobias
  • Animal Phobias
  • Social Phobias
  • Blood/Injury Fear
  • Height Phobias
  • Internal Phobias 
  • Other Phobias

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is the art or science of using language to alleviate psychological suffering.

I hold formal qualifications in Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy and training in Behaviour Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural disciplines but describe myself as an Integrative Therapist.

Words and the images and emotions they invoke, are powerful indeed but the most important are the words you speak to yourself!

I tailor my specific therapy based on the individual nature of my patient/client and the type of condition they are presenting with.

  • Hypnosis
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Psycho-Dynamic / Insight-Oriented

About Me

I have always believed that Therapy is a personal experience. Before I, or a loved one, was to undertake any system of treatment of psychotherapy or hypnotherapy I would want to know some details of the training, experience and ethics of the practitioner involved.

Each person is an individual and no two presentations are exactly alike even though they may share many characteristics. It is your personal story which is important and guides the specific direction of our journey.
