No Panic

No Panic is a registered charity that helps and supports those living with Panic Attacks, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders and other related anxiety disorders. No Panic also provides support for the carers of people who suffer from anxiety disorders.

Unfortunately, health services in the UK are overstretched and have long waiting times, which despite the fact that over 75% of anxiety disorder sufferers do not even seek professional help of any kind!

No Panic believes each and every one of us will have a dip in our mental health at different times throughout our lives. Mental ill-health knows no class, gender, age or economic boundaries and can affect any one of us at any time. COVID-19 has further exacerbated this already alarming crisis.

No Panic provides crucial support that fills the gaps left by statutory services. Quite often people who contact No Panic have been waiting a long time for therapy or have been refused help as they do not fit the mandatory service criteria. No Panic offers support that can prevent certain situations from a reaching crisis point. We have the insight to know that no one treatment will work for an individual. Enabling choice is paramount in helping people to discover their own potential which educates them on how to personally manage their mental health.

Our guiding philosophy is that people can and do recover from mental health issues (however severe they may be) and go on to live lives of their own choosing if they are provided with tailored made needs. Our recovery programs use layperson Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and anxiety management as their base. Whilst no therapy guarantees success, this method has at the present time, the highest success rate.

All of our services are provided over the telephone or internet which provide enormous flexibility, comfort and confidentiality to those we support.

We also have 2 hotlines:

The No Panic Helpline - 0300 772 9844

The No Panic Helpline operates between 10am and 10pm every day of the year. It is staffed by trained volunteers.

The No Panic Youth Helpline - 0330 606 1174

Do you need to talk to someone who understands how you feel? If you are aged under 18 years old and need help with anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder or any other anxiety related problem then this helpline is for you. Our trained help liners are waiting to take your call.

(Ofcom introduced UK-wide 03 numbers as an alternative to chargeable 08 numbers. These numbers allow organisations to have a single national point of contact without consumers having to pay extra to call them.)
