I am currently seeing a young woman for a needle phobia.  Phobias are very common and, of course, can relate to a wide range of triggers - flying, heights, spiders, birds, claustrophobia, dental and needle phobias to name but a few - and they can begin to severely limit the suffers life, sometime culminating in their being unable to leave the house.

My young client has been needle phobic for many years, unable even to look at pictures or watch injections or needles on screen.  This is now a serious problem for her as she has to undergo a minor medical procedure for a condition that is causing her great pain but is unable to have the necessary blood tests or, indeed, receive anaesthetic. 

She is desperate for help and, fortunately, there is a very simple and effective technique to deal with phobias.  This can usually be effective in one or two sessions.  With a really ingrained phobia - or a more complex mindset where one fear masks another - it may take more sessions, possibly up to four.
