NHS Talking Therapies can treat common anxiety conditions – new alternative formats available
A black woman in a park, is smiling at two other woman. There are trees and colourful balloons floating in the background. Text says “Is anxiety in social situations seriously affecting your life? Being able to take part is cause for celebration. NHS Talking Therapies can help. The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner and a crown logo is in the top left hand corner.
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 involves talking to a trained professional about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Treatment can be in-person, on the phone or an online course. It gives you practical skills and techniques to overcome a range of mental health conditions like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and phobias.
NHS Talking Therapies are effective, confidential and free treatments that can also be delivered in your chosen language – including British Sign Language (BSL), and for those whose first language is not English, via multi-lingual therapists or confidential interpreters.
