Ummm, isn't normal to be afraid of leeches? Anyway, you desensitize yourself to them. Watch them from a distance, then after that works out OK, then watch them closer. When that works OK, watch them from up close. This might take weeks for each level.
When you can watch them up close, then have someone hold one so you can quickly touch it. When this works out OK after several or many times, then have someone place a leech on your skin for a few seconds, but not enough that it will start to suck on you. That's about it. To help you through these different levels, you will probably gain from taking deep breaths to relax. The more relaxed you are, the less you will be afraid.
