Ready to Feel in Control of Swallowing Again?

Helping individuals overcome swallowing fears such as phagophobia and pseudo dysphagia, anxiety, and speaking-related challenges with professional therapy services.

Expert therapists assist with the fear of choking and taking medication.

Our services focus on reducing anxiety
related to the fear of swallowing food.

Use your mind's imagination to change

Whether it is speaking infront of an audience or trying new foods, our brain has a remarkable capacity to change.

Trouble eating because of anxiety, or suffering from Irritable bowel? These symptoms can be linked.

Anxiety about public speaking can cause tension in the vocal chords and stop someone from speaking

We Understand What You're Going Through

Many people with these issues feel isolated, misunderstood, or dismissed by traditional medical routes. At Scared 2 Swallow, we take your experience seriously. Our expert-led, compassionate approach is rooted in years of therapeutic experience, personal insight, and success stories worldwide. PLEASE NOTE that if you are currently struggling with swallowing saliva and you haven't been able to eat for 48 hours go to see your doctor or emergency department.

Penny changed my life

""Penny changed my life. When I developed phagophobia, I was terrified and felt alone, until I found Penny’s website. It made me feel reassured that there was an expert out there who specialised in this, and knew how to help me. After 5 sessions, I was better. Hypnotherapy is an incredibly powerful tool, and Penny helped me get back to eating all foods, eating normally, and eating out with people again, and she has done the same for countless other people. She’s incredibly talented, skilled, and kind, I highly recommend you work with her if facing any phobia or similar issue."
