A clinic for those scared of clowns.
While many of our kids are afraid of the red noses and white faces, it seems like adults also have a bit of a hard time with clowns.
That’s why Blackrock’s latest offering is helping people with the popular fear.
Coulrophobia reportedly affects around 12 percent of the population, so we can see why a class may be needed.
According to the clinic’s website, it is offering the free online sessions to help people deal with the fear.
D4 Clinic Psychologist and founder of the practice, Jason O’Callaghan says: “Most people can avoid clowns on a day to day basis.
“But with the image on posters, buses, TV and magazines they may find themselves unable to avoid the image of the clown”.
