At Anxiety UK, we’re not just a charity – we’re a small team driven by our own lived experience of anxiety to help others.
Backed by a committed team of passionate volunteers and expert clinical advisors dedicated to our mission, and with over 55 years’ experience, we understand the challenges you face because we’ve experienced them ourselves.
Our aim is: to make the despair caused by anxiety, a thing of the past.
Founded in 1970 by Katharine and Harold Fissher from their home in Manchester, our charity was born from Katharine’s personal experience of agoraphobia. The Fishers’ vision was to create a community of support for those struggling with anxiety – a vision we continue to carry forward today.
We are an entirely self-sufficient organisation and receive no grants or funding from any public body; relying wholly on the support and generosity of our members, supporters and fundraisers – driven by a shared commitment to support those with anxiety.
Joining Anxiety UK as a member brings you a wealth of benefits and the opportunity to be part of our community of support.
Whether you join as an individual, student or family member or even as a group or corporate member, we’re here to help you.
At Anxiety UK we believe in choice; offering a wide range of therapy options including Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Available across the whole of the UK, delivered by our team of Anxiety UK Approved Therapists online, by phone and face to face.
Therapist-led anxiety management and Art for Anxiety Relief (AfAR) courses that give members and non-members access to support and anxiety management strategies, from the comfort of their home.
Anxiety UK strives to improve the quality of life for anyone affected by anxiety and anxiety disorders. We rely solely on the generosity of our supporters and members to continue this valuable work.
