      Hi Karl, sorry to butt I but I used to have a severe fear of flying up until 2013. I found some amazing resources out there that helped me understand how normal flying is and once I understood this it really helped. I’ve flown 30 odd times since and absolutely love it now so I just wanted to offer encouragement that it can be beaten. Feel free to contact if you want to know what worked for me, but watching Noel’s videos, especially his pilot blogs on the other channel will really help a lot I hope. Good luck in beating it 🙏

It could be that he is also kind of the main cabin crew person, but I am thinking he is First Officer, so indeed a pilot. Please correct me if I am wrong.

      In my former workplace, all of the union reps (of which I was one) undertook "Mental Health First Aid" training, and it was one of the best things I've ever done. I've probably used it outside of work as much as in the workplace. Very much recommended for anyone who wants to support others.

      People of all walks of life find therapy beneficial for themselves, with halo benefit for their loved ones as well.
      Also, people who don’t travel often think it’s glamorous - it’s not. It’s physically and mentally tiring, all while being separated from family and friends for extended periods.
      Therapy is most often beneficial to find nurturing and sustainable introspection that builds confidence, and provides insight on how to interpret and manage all that comes at us in life…past, present and future.
