Animal Hire for Phobia Awareness & Confidence Building

When looking at phobias you will often see Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and Ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) near the top of the list and these phobias have played a great part in popular culture, think films like Arachnophobia and Snakes on a Plane, even hero Indiana Jones was scared of snakes. However, when spiders are such a day to day part for many people and snakes make frequent appearance on screen from popular films to the Deadly 60 this can be debilitating and humiliating for some.
We do not provide phobia desensitisation sessions directly but we are happy to bring along a selection of animals for use by professionals for counselling or hypnotherapy sessions and confidence building workshops.
Our animals are well behaved and docile and have plenty of experience in being handled by a variety of people making them ideal candidates for phobia sessions. Staff have helped on many occasions are always sensitive to the needs of others, especially those that feel uncomfortable. We can also keep the animals discreetly covered until it is deemed ready to display them and hopefully let people take the time to encounter the animals for themselves and appreciate their beauty and unique characteristics.
Our animals frequently appear at sessions held by Richard Bandler’s NLP Life Training and Eventis Training.
