Advise on landing technique

Apologies if this isn't the correct place to list such a topic. I'm a student PPL in Ireland and have about 23 hours. Those hours are built up over the past 18 months, and about 15 of them are in the circuit. Now I've been close to solo a number of times but due to one factor or another (normally weather), I've never got it done. I flew for the first time in 5 months last week and it went pretty well, but I have the same problem as ever. I have a tendency not to flare correctly. For some reason (probably stupid) I have a fear of stalling the aircraft, and never pull back enough on the control column. I am just wondering is there any tips/advise anyone can offer as to how to flare correctly. I was starting to get the hang of it towards the last 2 touch and gos the last lesson, but I'm flying tomorrow and hope to do my solo in the next 2 hours or so. This probably sounds like a stupid question, but any advise would be appreciated.
