NHS Talking Therapies can help with common anxiety conditions

Many people experience anxiety conditions but don’t seek support or recognise the symptoms in themselves. NHS Talking Therapies is here to help.

EastEnders star, Shona McGarty, who lives with social anxiety, and former football player Clarke Carlisle, who has PTSD, have joined other patients affected by common anxiety conditions to talk about their symptoms.

NHS Talking Therapies is here to help. It’s free and offers practical skills and techniques to overcome conditions like these. It's available in British Sign Language (BSL) and other languages, via multi-lingual therapists or confidential interpreters.

Your GP can refer you or you can refer yourself. Find out more at nhs.uk/talk

NHS Talking Therapies can treat common anxiety conditions

If you’re struggling with obsessions and compulsions, anxiety in social situations, flashbacks of a traumatic event – or with panic attacks, obsessing about your appearance, or a phobia – being able to get on with your life again is cause for celebration.

NHS Talking Therapies treatment is effective, confidential and free. It gives you practical skills and techniques to overcome a range of mental health conditions like OCD, social anxiety disorder, PTSD, panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder and phobias.

NHS Talking Therapies can also be delivered in your chosen language – including BSL, and for those whose first language is not English, via multi-lingual therapists or confidential interpreters.
