Anxiety Therapy London

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Support for Anxiety

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health difficulties and can affect many areas of life. You may find yourself constantly worrying, feeling on edge, struggling to relax, or experiencing physical symptoms such as racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, tension, or panic.

At Chapter One Psychological Practice, our clinical psychologists provide anxiety therapy in London using evidence-based psychological approaches tailored to your individual needs. Therapy offers a supportive and confidential space to understand what is driving your anxiety and to develop practical strategies to help you regain a sense of calm, confidence, and control.

Whether your anxiety has recently emerged or has been present for many years, therapy can help you make meaningful and lasting changes.

Common Types of Anxiety We Help With

Our psychologists work with a wide range of anxiety difficulties, including:

  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

  • Social Anxiety

  • Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder

  • Health Anxiety

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Work-related stress and burnout

  • Anxiety linked to life transitions or uncertainty

  • Anxiety connected to trauma or past experiences

Many people experiencing anxiety also struggle with low mood, sleep difficulties, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed, and therapy can help address these interconnected challenges.

How Anxiety Therapy Can Help

Therapy can support you to:

  • Understand the underlying causes of anxiety

  • Recognise patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours

  • Develop healthier ways of responding to worry and fear

  • Learn practical skills to manage anxiety in daily life

  • Improve confidence and emotional resilience

  • Reconnect with activities and relationships that feel meaningful

Over time, many people find that therapy allows them to move from feeling trapped by anxiety to feeling more grounded, flexible, and able to engage with life again.

Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment

Our clinicians are HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists trained in evidence-based therapies recommended by clinical guidelines.

Depending on your needs, therapy may draw on approaches including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – helping you identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that maintain anxiety

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – developing psychological flexibility and learning new ways of relating to anxious thoughts and feelings

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – supporting emotional regulation and self-compassion

  • Trauma-informed therapy – addressing deeper patterns linked to past experiences and relationships

We take an integrative and personalised approach, meaning therapy is tailored to the individual rather than applying a single model to everyone.

Anxiety and Neurodiversity

Anxiety can often occur alongside ADHD or autism, particularly when people have spent years navigating environments that feel overwhelming or demanding.

Our psychologists have experience supporting individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, helping them develop strategies that are both practical and sensitive to their unique ways of experiencing the world.

What to Expect From Therapy

Your first step is an initial consultation, where you will meet with one of our clinical psychologists to discuss your experiences and what you would like help with.

Together we will:

  • explore your current difficulties

  • understand your goals for therapy

  • consider the most helpful treatment approach

  • discuss whether ongoing therapy would be beneficial

If you decide to continue, sessions typically take place weekly and provide a confidential, supportive space to explore and work through difficulties at a pace that feels manageable.
