Fight the fear and fly away

After a gloriously sunny start to August, it seems summer has flown off and left us once again. If you are one of the lucky ones about to jet off on holiday to sunnier climes then congratulations, have fun, and most importantly – is there any space in your suitcase for me to tag along?  No? Shame.

For many people, leaving on a jet plane can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time. There’s the holiday itself looming on the horizon, complete with relaxation, sunshine, sandy beaches and drinks with little umbrellas in them (and who doesn’t like a little umbrella, really?). But first there’s the flight, which for millions of people is a real problem. If you’re one of those people whose stomach gets into knots just at the thought of getting onto a plane, Greatvine is here to help.

Our excellent Fear of Flying Counsellor, Dominic Riley, is just a phone call away and has helped cure over 9,000 people of their flight phobias, including actress Whoopi Goldberg. Dominic is a former Red Arrow with 16 years of experience flying and instructing on fighter aircraft with the RAF. Since 2000 Dominic has been working with members of the public to help them overcome their fear of flying and has worked with the MOD, the University of Nottingham and the University of York.

Whether you spend every flight battling against a tidal wave of anxiety or your fear is so bad that you’ve avoided flying off into the sunset altogether, Dominic can talk you through your problems and help you to overcome them.
