What anxiety therapy involves

Most anxiety therapy uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). You learn to notice anxious thoughts, test them against what actually happens, and face feared situations step by step instead of avoiding them. Sessions are usually weekly, and you practise between sessions.

How to choose an anxiety therapist

  • Check that they are a clinical psychologist, ideally RCI registered.
  • Ask which therapies they use for anxiety and what a course of sessions looks like.
  • Choose someone you can talk to in your own language.
  • Look for a service that can bring in a psychiatrist if you need one.

Common questions

Who is an anxiety therapist?

Usually a clinical psychologist trained in talk therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). They help you understand anxiety and practise skills to manage it.

Do I need a psychiatrist as well?

Sometimes. A psychiatrist can assess whether medicine would help and rule out other causes. Our team will help you decide at your pre-consultation call whether to start with a therapist, a psychiatrist or both.

Does online therapy work for anxiety?

Yes, for most people. Therapy for anxiety works by talking and practising skills, which suits video sessions. Read <a href="/guides/does-online-therapy-work">does online therapy work?</a>
