Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by irrational fears of public or open spaces. A person suffering from agoraphobia usually has previously had a panic attack in public and, therefore, avoids similar places or situations due to the fear of re-experiencing it.

Common places that are avoided are places that are difficult to easily escape like cinemas, churches, stores and traveling publicly by bus, train or airplane. If you avoid public situations like this due to the fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you might be suffering from agoraphobia.

If this sounds like you, please know you are not stuck; there are treatments that can help you. Our therapy for agoraphobia is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the negative thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to your fear of having a panic attack and lead to avoidance. With the help of your therapist, you will slowly be exposed to real-life situations that cause your fear of a panic attack. While this may sound scary, it will be safe and will eventually help you overcome your fears. You will learn how to control your anxiety and to look at your fears in a more realistic light. As you progress through the treatment, the thought or experience of panic will become less petrifying. Eventually you will be able to cope with previously fearful situations so you can take control of your life again.

"We had tried couples therapy before but honestly it was chalk and cheese compared to the level of expertise, professionalism and guidance we have received from Lisa. The sessions and homework are genuinely making a difference to us both personally and as a couple - this has saved our marriage but also helped us to think about the people we want to be as we welcome our child in a few months time. I cannot rate Lisa highly enough, the service has been seamless to use and the learning modules inspiring and thought-changing. Thank you!"

"I love this service. At first I was hesitant cause I haven't heard the best about online therapy services like this or better help but I'm very glad that I signed up.
I really appreciate the 40% off for the first two months as I'm currently unemployed and the therapist I've been working with is very fit to match me with my needs and help that I require. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to reach out whenever I need to and the response is very prompt. 10/10"
