Whether you’re in the UK or looking for online emetophobia treatment worldwide, I’m here to help you reclaim your freedom and confidence.
What is emetophobia?
Emetophobia is an intense fear of vomiting, or of seeing or hearing others vomit. Many people also fear nausea itself, or any situation where vomiting “might” happen. This often leads to:
​
-
Avoiding foods, places, or activities
-
Monitoring bodily sensations
-
Safety behaviours (checking, distracting, scanning)
-
Restricting travel, socialising, or eating out
-
It’s common to feel trapped by these routines. Therapy can help you gently undo these patterns and build confidence again.

Everyone is different, but many people see meaningful progress within a number of weeks or months. We’ll create a plan that suits your pace.
