Therapy Locations

Therapy fees

Below you will find a breakdown of our current therapy fees. For more information, ring us on 08444 775 774.

Additional information

If there is not an Anxiety UK therapist available in your area, or you find it difficult to attend appointments due to your anxiety condition, we can provide telephone or webcam based therapy for you. Many people find these types of therapy are easy to fit in around the demands of modern life  or allow those who might not ordinarily have been able to access services to get the help they need.

Refunds policy

Anxiety UK does not offer refunds for first and last therapy sessions as usually we are able to pass clients on to qualified telephone or webcam therapists in the unlikely event that we are unable to provide a therapist in a specific location. A refund will be issued at Anxiety UK’s discretion, minus a 15% admin fee.

One example of a circumstance where we would be prepared to offer a refund includes:

  • If you have requested clinical hypnotherapy and the therapist is no longer available in your area. Clinical hypnotherapy is not available over the telephone or webcam.

We will not usually offer a refund if:

  • You change your mind about wanting therapy, either because you have now obtained access to an NHS therapist, or for any other reason.

Please note that should your circumstances change, Anxiety UK will not be unable to provide a refund for the difference in session fees. However, you will be entitled to lower or higher ongoing session fees where appropriate.

Please note – therapists are not able to reply to comments via the Anxiety UK website.

    • Jude says:

      I’m 57 and suffer from anxiety and depression. Anxiety and distressing, repetitive thoughts that I can’t shift. I compare myself unfavourably to others all the time and feel inadequate, inferior and worthless most of the time. I feel everyone else is happy and I feel unable to get a hold on life and terrible guilt for being unable to really appreciate what I have – and there is no reason really why I should feel this way. I have been trying to help myself for years and don’t want to burden others. I’m in psychotherapy but after 6 months I am feeling much worse, and I’m frightened I won’t improve. Are there any self help groups in the South London area, pref. Bromley or Croydon?

      • Lissah says:

    Hi

    I came across your details on the Internet.

    I have intermittent periods of low mood/depression, that is often tainted with I feel is anxiety. I don’t know if depression/anxiety are related. I feel that I understand so little about this and need to know more. I am on medication from my GP and whilst she is very supportive, I know she does not always have the time for me to pour my concerns out.

    Having scoured the internet for various symptoms I have and there are many, pains, sickness etc it only lends itself to worry me more than I was to start with. I have just taken a week of work but, feel so anxious about going back and the thoughts of what people will think, that I feel ill all over.

    My employee’s are supportive but, can only help me so much.

    I live on the Isle of Man and cannot find any support groups locally. I just feel I need to communicate with someone/somebody who truly understands how I feel.

    Can you help?

    Many thanks

    Hiya, wasn’t entirely sure where to post a comment.
    I have had anxiety for a couple of years, and recently had problems with hypochondria.
    Recently I’ve been having horrible disturbing thoughts and terrible anxiety.
    I’m really very scared of going mental or losing control and hurting/killing my boyfriend and other loved ones.
    I’ve gone through depersonalisation, anxiety attacks, fear of being left alone and just utter despair because of thise.
    I’ve been recently trying to understand anxiety and how it works and how I can deal with it. At the moment, I’ve learnt that accepting the thoughts and paying them little attention while they come can help. But I’m still traumatised by the whole thing.
    I’m better than I was, and Im having more good moments than bad now due to distraction, a loving boyfriend and knowledge. But I would like to hear from people with the same problem, people who have recovered or anyone who can help.
    I’m really interested in self help groups for anxiety and depression sufferers as I have both, I am local to Reading which means any surrounding areas I can access. I only found an OCD group which I contacted. Was just wondering if theres anyone out there who can recommend treatment, therapy, groups etc
    Thank You.

    Hi, I would be grateful if someone could help me to find a group, where I can learn how to fight public speaking fear. I live in Merseyside. Thank you

      Hi Maria

      If you are still looking for support groups at your loca area, I would recommend you to visit your local libraries, community centers, city council and churches and see if they advertise any. Hope this helps.

    Hi My name is Vitali,

    Been suffering with Panic attacks from 2004 up until now, managed to get better but starting from Jan 2011 everything went down the drain and I’m back to square one. Today I have met some people at Chorlton Anxiety group, they told me of this website and also mentioned you might help me get counseling services or CBT, I’m getting desperate but is unable to afford private treatment as I have a pregnant wife to support.

    Live in Manchester, Chorlton.

    • Avatar of Anxiety UK Volunteer Anxiety U says:
